What credentials? As a spammer?

Whoever it is has devised an e-mail address that labels their Google group post with the \"a a\" identity. That doesn\'t actually involve faking a a\'s crednetials - it\'s just and exercise in mislabeling,

If a a could join the IEEE he could get an ieee.org e-mail address that Google can identify and nobody can duplicate. He\'d need to have a real identity to do it, and know enough to meet the IEEE entrance requirements which typically demand an electronic engineering degree.

I expect the \"a a\" identity comes from the \"name\" associated with the email account. So, getting it to show up as \"a a\" does not require getting a new account, simply changing the name on the existing account. I post here with a Google account and can change the \"name\" at will, and sometimes do.

Demand? Are you serious? That\'s like demanding someone have a driver\'s license for entrance into a cheap bar.

An electronic engineering degree doesn\'t make somebody an electronic engineer - Flyguy seems to have one - but \"professional\" organisations like to present themselves as a sort of professional trade union, and setting up some kind of arbitrary entry requirement helps them cultivate the right image.

I\'m a life senior member of the IEEE and a life member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, which I got into just by having completed the right academic training.
Joining the IEEE was actually more difficult because I hadn\'t completed the academic training that they normally looked for, even though I did better than people who had.

Identify the usenet provider they are using and do password recovery to take
over their fraudlent account. it\'s not identiy theft so long as
manta103g@gmail.com is legitimately your email address.

If you hadn\'t reposted his crap I would not have seen it at all.

Classic email was originally based on trust on an academic network.

Belated attempts to add security with SPF and DKIM mainly results in
misconfigured ISP servers dropping genuine emails from small businesses
on the floor while spammers unfortunately still manage to get through.

It was much worse back in the era of the SWEN worm. These days I don\'t
see very much backscatter from forging my Usenet ID at all.

It used to be much more of a problem decades ago.

I also used to get a lot of backscatter from my Usenet posting msgid
tags which superficially looked like email addresses in the ew*@ and
fw*@ ranges and got harvested. The demise of my ISP reset that counter
once and for all - they all fail no such domain now.

There\'s no suggestion that a a uses astraweb.

Eternal Septembers lists his posts as coming form matra103@gmail.com, and the posts he objects to as coming from matra103g@gmai.com.

His best bet would be to complain to Gmail, but if Gmail looked at his own posting habits they\'d probably disable his e-mail account. They do do it to more obvious spammers with a commercial interest to promote, but going to the trouble of disabling a pestiferous nut-case isn\'t going to be urgent.

Well Bozo, we sure as Hell know you AREN\'T an electrical engineer. I just have graduate EE degree (as well as other degrees) and worked in the field, including at a National Laboratory in a senior position, for over forty years. You sure as Hell never worked at a National Laboratory.

You might have a graduate EE degree, but you\'ve never posted to any electronics thread here. Presumably you got used for what you are good at - over-simplifying arguments to make them sound better than they are. I\'ve run into people like that. They tended to move on just before they get fired.,

I\'ve never worked at a National Laboratory. but I did work (in a small way) with Donald Watts Davies when he was working at the British National Physical Laboratory at Teddington in the UK. And I do know what a Thompson-Lampard Calculable Capacitor is

https://www.nature.com/articles/177888a0

I even knew it before the local branch of the IEEE took it into their heads to promote it as an Australian IEEE Milestone.
I\'ve just been stuck back on the committee of the NSW Measurement and Instrumentation Chapter and got to twit the committee member from the local
National Standards lab about the amount of liquid helium his voltage reference needs.

You can delude yourself to own satisfaction - and seems to make a habit of it. Nobody cares about that, though it is a waste of bandwidth.

As punishments go, being me isn\'t all that taxing, but it is unavoidable.

https://www.nature.com/articles/177888a0

I even knew it before the local branch of the IEEE took it into their heads to promote it as an Australian IEEE Milestone.

I\'ve just been stuck back on the committee of the NSW IEEE Measurement and Instrumentation Chapter and got to twit the committee member from the local
National Standards lab about the amount of liquid helium his voltage reference needs.

Spare me your third-string comparisons. You denigrate me not knowing SHIT about what I have accomplished.

There wasn\'t any comparison anywhere in what I wrote. I just pointed out that I did know people who worked at National Laboratories. They all had more sense than you seem to have,

Please, this is your standard tactic: cite unnamed individuals to back your false claims. It just doesn\'t work, Bozo.

I did name Donald Watts Davies because he is safely dead and wouldn\'t be at risk from the lunatics who post here.

You don\'t seem to have accomplished anything. Nothing you want to talk about anyway.

LOL! That would be like getting into a pissing contest with a skunk. I will pass on that.

Of course you will. You haven\'t got anything to offer.

This says FAR MORE about your sorry character than me.

It doesn\'t say anything all, which is typical of your grandiloquent but empty claims.

Of course it does - you are just TOO STUPID to realize it.

Come now. You could at least try to spell it out - except that you lack that kind of ability.

I feel SORRY for your miserable life and am GLAD I am not you. Your punishment is BEING YOU!

You can delude yourself to own satisfaction - and seems to make a habit of it. Nobody cares about that, though it is a waste of bandwidth.

As punishments go, being me isn\'t all that taxing, but it is unavoidable.

Jerks don\'t think they are jerks, including you.

There\'s objective evidence that I\'m not, but you lack the wit to recognise it. It\'s a claim only a jerk would make, so you\'ve put yourself firmly into the frame there.

What credentials? As a spammer?
Whoever it is has devised an e-mail address that labels their Google group post with the \"a a\" identity. That doesn\'t actually involve faking a a\'s credentials - it\'s just and exercise in mislabeling,

If a a could join the IEEE he could get an ieee.org e-mail address that Google can identify and nobody can duplicate. He\'d need to have a real identity to do it, and know enough to meet the IEEE entrance requirements which typically demand an electronic engineering degree.

Demand? Are you serious? That\'s like demanding someone have a driver\'s license for entrance into a cheap bar.

An electronic engineering degree doesn\'t make somebody an electronic engineer - Flyguy seems to have one - but \"professional\" organisations like to present themselves as a sort of professional trade union, and setting up some kind of arbitrary entry requirement helps them cultivate the right image.

I\'m a life senior member of the IEEE and a life member of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute, which I got into just by having completed the right academic training.
Joining the IEEE was actually more difficult because I hadn\'t completed the academic training that they normally looked for, even though I did better than people who had.

Well, we sure as Hell know you AREN\'T an electrical engineer.

Sewage Sweeper knows what he likes to think. and confuses this with objective fact.

I just have a graduate EE degree (as well as other degrees) and worked in the field, including at a National Laboratory in a senior position, for over forty years. You sure as hell never worked at a National Laboratory.

You might have a graduate EE degree, but you\'ve never posted to any electronics thread here. Presumably you got used for what you are good at - over-simplifying arguments to make them sound better than they are. I\'ve run into people like that. They tended to move on just before they get fired.

Oh, YES I HAVE, you dumb wit!

LOL! Hey Bozo, there is PLENTY of evidence that proves you ARE A JERK!!!!

But none that you can list, let alone explain how it makes me a jerk. Rational argument is quite beyond you. My objective evidence should be simple enough for even you to uderstand (if you wanted to).

I\'ve been their treasurer for years and edited their newsletter for even longer. A jerk wouldn\'t have lasted that long.
