Default Taking the pledge

To try it manually, all you gotta do is change your name to the said
individuals name and issue a cancel with the same subject as the
offending post. It is trivial really. I am not an expert by any
means, but this could likely be accomplished with Agent and simple
script using AutoHotkey.

For an automatic program, you just need a reasonably decent VB
programmer with some free time... Again, this is almost a trivial task
as well... Just have it log into a news server every 30 minutes and
search for new posts by said individual and if exists, then retrieve
the subject and generate a new cancel msg and send it out. There you
have it... An automated troll buster.


Any volunteers to take on this project? It's above my head, for sure.
