Oh my,

after reading this he really caught my attention. You have to google for
"Gary Burnore" a little. This guy has a record ...

It seems to me that the whole RFD/CFV thing has attracted a bunch of net
kooks and individuals who have nothing better to do than wasting other
peoples time. Marc, can you add a kill line on the mail/news gateway so
that messages from this guy (and as they pop up more of his kind) don't
pollute our mailing lists and stay on the news side of it only? If not I
will just add a /dev/null line for this idiot to my procmail config.
