Re:comp.lang.pascal.borland, FINAL NOTICE of Newsgroup Removal


This is a fraudulent notice, perpetrated by a bozo known as 'HipCrime',
who's sole intent is to disrupt usenet newsgroups.  For historical
background,
do a google search on 'hipcrime'.

NOTE: tha perpetrter set things so that follow-ups to the original message
will be directed to to the newsgroup "news.admin.net-abuse.email", *NOT*
the group in which you read the message.  This is a blatent attempt to
flood _that_ newsgroup with all the "what the h*ll??" responses.

The newsgroup will *NOT* be removed.

The most constructive thing to do is *IGNORE* the message completely.

If you feel _compelled_ to comment, be =sure= to re-direct your comments
back to the original newsgroup in which the notice was posted.  A simple
follow-up, *without* editing the "newsgroups" specification will only result
in additional harassment of the poeple in the news-admin.* newsgroup(s).

No, this group won't be removed. But there would be a simple solution:
remove this silly original poster from Usenet! That would solve this
problem because he spams several newsgroups.

In a word, Hoax.  Hipcrime and his/her/its hipclones flood newsgroups
with the followups going to nanae (news.admin.net-abuse.email) as an
attempt to disrupt that newsgroup.   If you're about to reply, and when
you your news reader wants you to post to nanae, it's a hoax.

I saw the same one in comp.software.shareware.announce

I responded then that I never heard of someone voting for removal of a newsgroup.
(Look at all the useless and {*word*201} groups on *your* newsserver)

It's better to not respond to that message, because it has its followup-to
set to news.admin.net-abuse.email, so if you don't change that, you'll
post to that group and add to the clutter there (which is the intention of
the original posted).

For this server it doesn't matter.  Responses to nanae go to bitbucket
heaven on that subject matter anyway.  (See also,
news://news.osirusoft.com/news.admin.net-abuse.email ) It is truely
amazing how many people believe everything in print.
