Off-topic posts (including mine -- cast the first stone, etc., etc.)
notwithstanding, this guy isn't even contributing to the sense of
community on this list. If he's not a technical writer, or training to
become one, what's he doing here? This behavior is equivalent to crashing
a party where you weren't invited. Or being a particle physicist and
standing on a chair at a plumber's convention in order to shout, at the
top of one's lungs, things plumbers don't understand.

WB is abusing a combination of anonymous remailers and the wide-open
ability of anyone to post on techwr-l to post garbage. I say we convince a
talented IP hacker to track him down (if possible), then mail his
postmaster.
