- I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about the site anatolia.mn.org.
- There have been problems with a feed the system administrator there
- appears to be providing a feed to a site named ``zuma.UUCP''. On that
- system, a fellow named ``Serdar Argic'' has some (suspected)
- semi-automated process for cross-posting mountains of garbage to
- utterly unrelated newsgroups. cf news.admin.policy, any message for
- the past few weeks.
-
- I'm getting a little bored of all this crap, personally, and I was
- wondering if anyone knows anything about the site anatolia.mn.org. It
- has the following map entry
-
- #N .anatolia.mn.org, anatolia
- #F .mn.org
- #S IBM 486; DOS 5.0
- #O anatolia
- #C Ahmet Cosar

- There is no Ahmet Cosar in my 92/93 Mpls phone book, but directory
- assistance was able to help me (376-7873). I was also unable to locate
- a Sedar Argic in my phone book, but directory assistance seemed to find
- an S. Argic (722-6858).
-
- People (e.g. Paul Pomes) have tried to contact the postmaster at
- anatolia.mn.org and he responded by posting a message to
- news.admin.policy saying that ``Paul Pomes of UIUC.EDU in electronic
- harrassment business.''
-
- Given that none of these phone numbers are in my phone book, but are in
- the 411 assistance, I'm assuming, being the nice person I am :), that
- this Cosar fellow is new to all of this and simply isn't familiar with
- the netiquette and could use a ``helping hand'' in being pointed at the
- appropriate introductory documentation.
-
- On the other hand, he may know what Ardic is doing and may not give a
- rip. Alas, the postings are going through uunet, so there really isn't
- much I can do from a censorship point of view. :-)
