And his name is .....
Forwarded with thanks from aus.aviation Big Hooters wrote: The MI5 poster: His name is Mike Corley, he is an IT professional but alas he has mental health issues. Here are some details about Mike Corley. He lives in London, UK. He first began his postings to usenet, BBS, and forums in 1995, unsurprisingly first to alt.conspiracy. He has his own website: http://www.five.org.uk/ "There have been numerous newspaper articles and online thesis about Mike's postings, this is a BBC article on the subject:" http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404 "And amongst many other covers of the Mike Corley phenomenon there has been a modern opera about this usenet legend:" http://www.thecorleyconspiracy.com/ The problem is amplified by posters who reply to Mikes X-post floods without snipping, and without removing the crossposts. But also Mike Corley sets "follow-up" groups to his MI5 posts, this is where he hasn't actually posted to a specific group but it's listed as "follow-up" in the crossposts, the lusers who reply, their posts show up in groups that Mike wants flooded. Mike Corley has set uk.misc as follow-up to all his posts, (which I've removed) it gets flooded with the replies, and of course the X-posting. Mike Corley has been doing this since 1995, and he knows what he is doing, he avoids killfiles/plonk/block by morphing and using pay-as-you-go dial-up. Filters rarely have an effect as in this example, if you set the criteria as "MI_5", then the flood morph to "MIfive" or whatever. He dosen't post via google dispite the headers, nor are the email addies valid, he dances between proxy servers such as altopia etc, filtering has no effect. The simple rule with Mike Corley floods is to ignore and not to reply. Mike will take his medication and eventually stop.....until the next time. But if lusers do the foolish and reply/x-post/fail-to-snip, then Mike Corley sticks around. So don't spam your pointless replies across dozens of groups. |

He's in here too is he?
I take turns killfiling his threads and telling him to go forth and multiply. He doesn't have a mental health problem, he's a complete nutter and should be locked away.

Can't some of our London area posters track him down and give him a royal asskicking? Dean |

Yeh and I get his posts as well and I just ignore them. Yep.. ignore
them.... huge effort required by everyone. As if this guy doesnt have enough problems of his own you're advocating "giving him an asskicking" or baiting him with replies designed to further his paranoia. Its to hope you or anyone in your family never suffer from schizophrenia or paranioa. I can just imagine your outrage if some strangers came to your relatives door and "asskicked" them because of the inconvenience their errant behaviour caused to their newsgroup browsing. Get a ****ing life and grow up. |

I'm sure that if Australia was suddenly killed in suspicious circumstances, the 'dumb french loonie' would get a visit. I just don't think it's a good idea to make personal threats in writing, even a brief police enquiry is a pain in the hole. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

In the first they should be treated until cured before release. In the latter they should simply be put down. |
