[edit] POV-pusher identity

(moved this stuff over from the main page)

He became rather friendly towards me for a while, perhaps because I abstained from insulting him, and because I supplied some data to support some point he made. He started sending me emails directly, in which he gave me a name and a yahoo email address. I haven't revealed that information yet - it seemed confidental. But at some stage, given that he uses my name in his personal attacks perhaps I can someday pass on this information if need be; I posted my name on my user page, perhaps naively, so I suppose he can use my name on wikipedia if he wants. A Google search on the name he gave me, reveals nothing that seems relevant. He has said a few times he has a Ph. D. from UCLA. He has boasted a few times of his fluency in French and German. It would not surprise me if he has a computer account still active at a college or university in San Jose, CA (Cal State?) at which he might have been a student, and has made a few posts from there (17.something).

The 17.something address is actually routed through Tampa too (I found this by traceroute) - it seems like Apple's using its allocation to support customers somehow. --Alvestrand 22:08, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
