   Y'know, this Pussy fella is gettin' really boring.   
      
   Might be fun -- purely from an academic standpoint, of course --   
   to trace the guy, and see what's up with him.   
      
   Without doing any major research for the moment, let's just see   
   what we can learn from his message header:

   Okay, he's posting through GigaNews.  That doesn't tell us much.   
   He could be anywhere in the U.S.   
      
   But according to the time zone, the message was propagated through   
   the Prodigy east coast server farm.

   The message was posted through a GigaNews server in the Central   
   time zone.   
      
      > User-Agent: MicroPlanet-Gravity/2.60.2060   
      
   He's using a non-mainstream news program, which could indicate   
   that he might be somewhat computer-knowledgeable.  He would've   
   had to specifically acquire and install the 'Gravity' program.   
      
   If he were a typical computer-lemming n00b, he'd be using the   
   news software that came pre-installed on his computer.

   This IP address exists, but it doesn't appear to be a normal,   
   commercial ISP.   
      
   Could be fake...or it could be the network identifier of his   
   computer.   
      
   Let's do a quick trace...   
      
   Okay, this computer is located in Marina Del Rey, California.   
      
   OMG!  IT'S TOM BISHOP!!!
