You gotta wonder why people keep doing things like this. It's been a year and a bit since I really had anyone to pick on for doing it, so I guess it's not all that bad. It gives me something to do for a while. Picking on people who insist on pulling stunts like this is almost a hobby of mine, now. I'll post a few clips and things from other "incidents" of the same type in the next few days.

You may also wonder how I find out about things like this. Well, in this case, it was fairly simple. Allow me to paste from an edited log of an IRC channel I frequent.

[01:39] * scalpod axes - being 'ebonicized' and all...
[01:39] (scalpod) sorry about the mess there...
[01:41] * vertigo retracts the request

So, yeah... The guy wanders into a chatroom from a link on www.subgenius.com (a site that offers "@subgenius.com" e-mail addresses for sale) and offers free e-mail addresses to a very similar domain. That's a bit stupid, don't you think?

I'll give details about how my fight to rid the internet of jerkoffs like this is going over the next few days/weeks. I guess it kinda depends on how long it takes to shut the guy up.

It should also be noted that what I do and what I say aren't indicative of the policies/opinions of The SubGenius Foundation Inc. They are in no way responsible for my actions. They own the domain www.subgenius.com, not me. I'm just a guy that gets a bit pissy when someone tries to use the work of others to make his own site a bit more popular.
