Hail Eris!
The ballot for August 2008 contains such luminaries of usenet.kookdom as:
Bucky Breeder, the gibbering sockpuppeteer of 24hoursupport."help"desk;
Andrew B. Chung, the "Double-Doctor"; Doogie Grant, the screeding liar of
alt.war.vietnam; Gunner Asch, misc.survivalism wingnut; Ray "Kazoo, teh
Living Christ, Enemy of Intellectual Thought" Karczewski; GitRDunn, true
enemy of intellectual thought; Bobbi "Lady Veteran" Sanchez's Stalking
Outer Filth; Kevin "'Chinese Democracy' leaker"/"Skwerl" Cogill; Mehran
"Perfect Math"/"Special spam-free newsgroups, once I figure out how usenet
works" Basti; pla, the alt.rhode_islander who thinks a Big-8 group is just
the thing for ARI; Agamemnon, who is now perhaps wishing he didn't have
such a big mouth; the legendary "Richard the St00pid"; Tim "Spam's
Champion" Bruening; the Mark Morgan Fan Club of rec.radio.amateur.policy,
who aren't homophobic at all, nosirree; AB Patriot, future leader of Free
Alberta and eventual war criminal (if he has his way); Michael "Snit"
Glasser (owner of many in comp.os.linux.advocacy, and owned in turn by
Kadaitcha Man); Lady Veteran, still addicted to being stalked, and still
stalking; Matt "Onideus Mad Hatter"/"the RL version of 'Ego, the Living
Planet'" Moulton; Catherine "Christmas Cake" Burr; William
"Zapratz"/"Hoodoo" Cmelak; Lin Liangtai, the Chinese Dr. Frankenstein;
Bloxy, the Russian refried conspiracy screeder; Jamie "Seth Breidbart
doesn't know what spam is" Baillie; Abbedd, the intellectual powerhouse of
rec.music.classical.recordings (Just ask him!); Steven P. "Varnisher"
Vanier, another "Living Christ"; Damaeus, the paedophile
apologist/Satanist who isn't either of those things, no really, but what's
wrong with them anyway?...; and all the Offices except AUK Mascot, plus
three Salinger nominees (not JD -- Pierre), Kadaitcha Man, Snuhwolf, and a
NY Times journalist, Matt Schwartz. Feel free to forward this to more
groups, but don't snip anything if you do.
