Ed Wollmann frequently sends complaints about others "spamming"
even when the posts being complained about do not fall under the
Skirvin guidelines. This is ironic, because Wollmann is well
aware of what constitutes spam. He was TOSsed from AOL and lost
6 accounts for spamming from there. He currently enjoys another
AOL account because of a personnel change (David O'Donnell, who
vowed that Mr. Wollmann was banned from AOL for "life", has
moved on) and apparently the current group of Admins there are
sympathetic to Wollmann's situation. Wollmann also has spammed
from both Earthlink and ATT Worldnet, yet thoroughly detailed
spam reports to both of those providers have gone apparently
unheeded.
It is important to note that while the notion of "unclean hands"
may be considered, and that there are two sides in the Wollmann
Flamewars, Wollmann is the only one engaging in actual Net
Abuse, that is, abuse OF the Net, with his Spamming and EMP.
Certainly Earthlink and ATT Worldnet should allow their user
Wollmann a robust amount of Freedom of Speech, but their
allowance of his spam remains a puzzlement.
(see this link for a nice, short and straight to the point FAQ
about Spam.)
Following are links to pre-configured DejaNews searches, as well
as locally-archived evidence of Wollmann's spam and the
resultant actions taken
29 Spams from Ed's sock puppet,
archimeden@aol.com (see a couple
examples archived locally: here or here)
At the time of his first spamfest, Wollmann was warned his BI
was rising, yet continued posting the same EMP until well past
the limit.
37 Spams from
Ewollmann@aol.com (see a couple examples archived
locally: here or here)
Wollmann here was spamming the same FAQ as in the above EMP.
AOL cancels 86 archimeden posts after Ed's July 97 spamfest.
AOL cancels 419 of ewollmann's posts after Ed's September '97
spamfest.
AOL announces Wollmann account cancels in news.admin.net-
abuse.bulletins:
For ewollmann, hoovamoon, and archimeden (9/97)
For ewollmann1, altair100, and azimech (2/98)
AOL cancels 207 of Ed's posts after cancelling his ewollmann1
account.
AOL cancels 35 of Ed's posts after cancelling his hoovamoon
account.
Andrew Gierth's 11/19/98 Spam Cancel Bulletin (see entire post)
"Earthlink: please deal appropriately with your user. 20
articles were
cancelled in 20 groups. The Breidbart Index was 42.71"
Andrew Gierth's 11/20/98 Spam Cancel Bulletin (see entire post)
"9 articles were cancelled in 8 groups. The Breidbart Index was
20.08.
The cumulative Briedbart Index including previous reports is
62.79."
Earthlink's abuse report on Ed in news.admin.net-abuse.bulletins
(see entire post)
"The following EarthLink subscribers have been reported for
Network or
USENET abuse. Appropriate action has been taken against these
entities in accordance with the Subscriber Agreement and AUP
(Acceptable Use Policy):.... arcturian1"
7/12/99 Wollmann EMP Spam Report (see entire post)
Though the tallied BI count is incorrect in this post, the
actual count was still well over the BI limit for the time
period. ATT Worldnet continues to allow Wollmann to spam this
same EMP from his current account.

PLEASE ISSUE CANCELS FOR EMP
Wollmann-SPAM hits the Net again.
Edmond Heinz Wollmann, posting from ATT Worldnet, has engaged in
another
spree of "Followup-spamming" (following up to different posts,
repeatedly adding the same text). Or as the Skirvin Spam
Thresholds FAQ
puts it, "articles which consist of inclusions of other user's
postings,
but are otherwise identical". Mr. Wollmann has a history of
spamming; he
has lost 6 accounts at AOL, who had to issue hundreds of cancels
for his
spam, and his spam from Earthlink last November reached a BI
over 60.
The articles listed here all consist of occasionally:
- a quote in full of another post (with or without headers)
But always:
- the same identical text (a.a.m charter complaint)
- a signature (always the same)
Often only the identical text of the complaint-spam is posted
In addition, all of these posts by Wollmann are complaints re:
the
alt.astrology.metapsych charter and are Off-Topic in the
multitude of
newsgroups he posted them in.
This Wollmann SPAM report covers the 30 day period from June 11
to July
11, 1999
ATT Worldnet: Your client's SPAM is against your AUP. Please deal
appropriately with your user.
Bigfoot.com: Your client's SPAM is against your AUP. Please deal
appropriately with your user.
The Breidbart Index for the SPAM from Mr. Wollmann's ATT Worldnet
account alone was 42.
Message ID's, Deja.com URLS (original usenet/text format), BI
count and
affected newsgroups are given for reference.
Often the message ID will contain a "bigfoot.com" or other
munged email
reference but the nntp headers of the articles always show
worldnet.att.net as the originating source.
