Let's review the bidding -- Remind me, Smitty, again of the
citation of the URI location where we might review the full
context of your 'evidence'?

Nice try at a switch into an ad hominium attack. I decline to
be distracted, and await the citation requested above. Be
careful throwing rocks while living in a silicon house. A
quick search turns up a bit of linen.

Looks as though you got chased off a list in "lunatic state of
California" ... SVLUG are a pretty tolerant group of fellows
-- I've lurked on the list on and off ... Seems that Rick Moen
and Karsten Self were less tolerant of your antics:

    http://lists.svlug.org/pipermail/svlug/2001-April/008190.html
    http://lists.svlug.org/pipermail/svlug/2001-April/008181.html

But that's OK -- you showed Moen:

By the way, you may wish to amend your recipe for Rick to:
   * ^From.*linuxmafia\.com

He uses a couple of accounts in that domain; and your recipe
did not 'quote' the special (to procmail regexp processing)
character "." -- Wouldn't want to inadvertently expose you to
Rick again (He runs a hard-core Linux advocacy list as well.)
