Heck, you don't even know if his Mode C was correct.

On 2 occassions , in that same general vicinity, my Mode C was showing the
wrong altitude by about 6,000 feet! Why? Transponder problem? I guess so,
but it only happened one other time in one other place and hasn't happened
again.

We don't know that the VFR guy was in IMC, we don't know that he broke any
rules.

Yes, as I stated in an earlier message.

A couple of years ago we had a guy flying through GRB approach airspace that
always had bad Mode C. But it was only bad with GRB approach, no other
facility had a problem with it. He had it checked at an avionics shop and
they found nothing wrong.

I was just remaking your point. "Piling on" so to speak. Sometimes you
are just too darned succinct.
