Subject: (repost) Serdar Argic FAQ - everything you didn't want to know, but he replied anyway

[for those who have not heard of Serdar Argic (which is quite improbable),
all you need to know can be found in news.admin.policy recent thread. for
those lazy enough not to read the thread, let's say that Serdar Argic
produces about 10% of total Usenet traffic]


  Welcome to 'Serdar Argic(tm) FAQ - everything you didn't want to know, but
   he replied anyway'. This shall be daily posting, whose point is lost
   somewhere when the Universe - err - UseNet was created. What has left is
   just a legend that we were taught while we were children. 



(*) Serdar Argic(tm), sera@zuma.UUCP is a trademark of zuma UUCP brought to
you courtesy of anatolia.mn.org an Minnesota (umn.edu) affiliate.


				*HINTS*

  Situation: Replied to, by Him.

  Remedies: Do not _dare_ to reply back. You will be held liable for creating
    A.U.T. (another useless thread) and will cost the net beeeeeeelions and
    beeeeelions of dollars (note to Americans: yeah I know you don't care since
    the whole thing will be paid by your kids, but please, I don't want mine
    to be in the same 20,000$/head basket, ok?).

    
  Situation: Sudden urge to mail-bomb the anatolia.mn.org site or to send
    beeeellion of hate mail to the coordinates of postmaster@anatolia.mn.org.

  Remedies: Intriguing idea. You think no one has already tried (and of
    course failed to induce any response whatsoever?). Well, THINK again...

    
  Situation: Sudden urge to make obscene against-FCC-regulation calls to:
    official phone of umn.edu representative:
    >Ahmet Cosar, phone +1 612 672 9715.
    side comment:
    >As an interesting aside, if one were to check directory assistance for
    >Minneapolis (612-555-1212), one might notice that there is in fact a
    >phone listing for both Ahmet Cosar and a certain S. Argic.

  Remedies: Do it with passion, _some_ people will be SO grateful :-)

    
  Situation: Willing to make 'addition' to the NNTP server and get rid of
    the beast?
    
  Remedies:  will gladly tell you:
    a) put the kill file:  /Serdar Argic/h:j
    b) by  paul@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu (Paul Pomes - UofIllinois CSO):
       >What would be really handy is the ability to add aliases to the ME
       >entry,
       >ME/zuma/becker:comp,news,etc\all:F:

    
  Situation: Willing to take your UseNet away.

  Remedies:  Call up IBM and tell them that there is this informational
    terrorist whose articles are transmitted even through their gateway too.
    Since IBM is known to be paranoid, they will check Him out and eventually
    neutralize Him or use the 'IBM stinging Hitachi' style tactics to produce
    enough evidence to put him away.... for a LONG time...

    
  Situation: none whatsoever.

  Remedies: post an article with keywords like 'turkey sandwich' 'soc.culture'
    'Argic' 'Semenian' (Sea-men version of Arm-men-ian) and anything else
    for that matter. wait one day and observe.

    
  Situation: hopeless.

  Remedies: do you think I would be sitting in the dorm room trying to study
    and get my degree if I knew the answer to this question? if you do,
    you DESERVE to read S.A.'s postings.
