BIKE: Kook posting on austin.general (related to SCB, I think)

[Mike Dahmus]

Warning to everyone here:

Somebody's posting a bunch of old stuff out of our archives to the 
austin.general newsgroup on USENET (managing to get things completely 
wrong in the process; this moron has me and Patrick together as 
advocating running stop signs and red lights - which to those of you who 
have argued with me in the past on the subject will be quite a humorous 
revelation).

I've seen reposted notes originally written by Mike Librik and threads 
by Jeff Thorne and Michael Bluejay, as well as one involving me and 
Patrick. The same guy (morphing) then reposted some articles from the 
news, including the ones about bicycle tire-slashing, the Austin 
bike-vs-truck murder, etc. Finally, he followed up his own garbage with 
a thread in which he tries to incite the readers of the group (if there 
are any amid the horrible signal-to-noise ratio of the last few years) 
to ban bikes from the road.

I suspect this is one of our friends from the Shoal Creek debacle, using 
a collection of rogue email addresses and some mail2news gateways. Take 
a look-dahmus sometime if you want a real eye-opener.
