Subject: Fabrikant pre-murder E-mail
Organization: Dept. of Geophysics & Astronomy, UBC, Vancouver, Canada
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1992 10:44:29 GMT

V.I. Fabrikant, a professor in Mechanical Engineering at Concordia
University, recently murdered three colleagues and injured more.
This followed a long battle with the university over tenure and
authorship, during which he E-mailed information to a large mailing list.
Prior to the murders, the university threatened to charge Fabrikant
with contempt of court, probably for spreading the accusations and
information over the net before the court date.   The E-mail eventually
made its way to an even larger audience through network news.  The
E-mail and news will probably be brought forward as evidence in 
Fabrikant's hearing against the university, which is going on now,
and possibly in his murder trial later.

If anyone is interested, Fabrikant's original E-mailings have been
posted to sci.research and sci.research.careers by Dov Bai 
(bai@msiadmin.cit.cornell.edu).  There are 13 parts, titled
Fraud and extortion at Concordia University (Canada)
Fraud and extortion at Concordia University (Canada) (part II--XIII)

If they have expired at your  site, E-mail me and I will send them to you.  
I will post them here if I get a lot of requests, but would prefer not to
since the file is quite large.

A fairly lively discussion has been going on in sci.research
and sci.research.careers as a result of Fabrikant's postings.
Many of the posters think there may be something to Fabrikant's
accusations and think there should be an investigation.  Of
course, none of them agree with his methods.  There is also
some discussion on can.general and soc.culture.canada
The relevant headers generally have "Fraud and Extortion"
or "Fabrikant" or "Concordia"  in the headers.  The discussion
is starting to get around to the status of the E-mail as evidence.

Hi, I'm new on the list and relatively new to internet.  I joined 
because, in my attempts to familiarize myself with the mailing lists
and newsgroups, I discovered that Baylor (1) screens out all alt. and
rec. groups and who knows what else - we have 1213 newsgroups listed, and (2)
censors individual messages within newsgroups that are available.  For
example, in looking through the Jewish culture newsgroup I found that 
messages on the topic of Woody Allen and Mia Farrow were listed in the
group, but when I tried to read one I got a message stating that that item
could not be accessed.  So of course I tried every other item on the topic,
and was able to access only one - and that one consisted entirely of 
quotation from the Bible on the sin of slander.  I can only assume, the
Baylor environment being what it is, that sexual content or obscenity is
being censored, along with who knows what else.  I am not a student or
faculty member (or employee) at Baylor, and have been thinking for myself
for years.  Thus, I am very upset and deeply offended by this censorship.
I doubt there's anything I can do about it, but I am completely ignorant
of the current state of thinking/practice/regulation of how computer
communication does/should work, and the related issues of academic
freedom and first amendment rights (neither of which Baylor has any
interest in upholding).  How common is this kind of censorship?  What,
if anything, can be done about it?  What reactions or words of wisdom
do those of you on this list have for me?  Help!!!  --Thanks, Debbie Ader

 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Was this remark necessary?  Was it constructive to the original
question?  C'mon Teddy-boy, you're supposed to be a lawyer in waiting,
right?

I've read your inane postings for over a year now ... agreeing on some
occasions ... laughing on others.  If I remember correctly,  you and 
Michael had a perpetual thread regarding fraternities, etc. that seemed
to lull us all into a deep slumber.  Fortunately, this thread even
bored yourself, and we all gained a reprieve.  Also, if I remember correctly,
your brother/sister/family/whatever had somehow been offended by certain
fraternity (of which I happen to be an alumnus of at another university),
and your incredible disdain and ill-feelings poured out into the net wasting
loads 'o bandwidth.  So (and I'm sure I speak for everyone else who've
survived your biased onslaught of the past) ... give us all a break and
kill the nonsense.

Summary: Moving to Chicago, seek general advice

Hello:

If this isn't an appropriate place to post these questions, please
excuse. . .

I will be attending grad school at the Univ. of Chicago this
fall and am moving out there from the west coast in about 2
weeks.

Any advice/info on the following would be greatly appreciated
either via post or email:

     Banking/Credit Union Recommendations?

     Car insurance? Any idea of rates? I have a beat-up
     '76 toyota; would it be best to sell it and use
     public transpo?

     How easy will it be to find a place to live (preferably
     in a group house) in Hyde Park during the last week in
     September? 

     Is there anything it would help knowing in advance
     about moving to Hyde Park or UC?

Thanks,

Dan O'Connell

Well, though people from the 708 area code may be frightened of the big
bad city (all those people who aren't white!), even when they're manly 
frat boys like Michael, I haven't needed a weapon yet.
Nor have any of my friends, male and female.  You can't walk two blocks
in Hyde Park without seeing a police car, either University or City.
University police response time is usually on the order of thirty seconds.

O.k., I'm a little late reporting back, but that's an adult for you,
eh? :-)

Here, loosely, are the findings of the library users' survey I conducted
in the middle of the summer:

The youngest respondent was 8.  The oldest was 29 (!).

Respondents agreed unanimously that library patrons should be able to
check out R-rated videos.       

The strangest place anyone ever read a book was the golf course.

And--my favorite finding--respondents overwhelmingly reported that
the primary reason they went to public libraries was to check out books.
C
Believe it or not, some librarians have a 
uble trouble buying that!  (excuse my editing--I'm new at vi, and I
ardently wish I had a better editor!)

Have questions about library service?  Looking for a good book and
n
on a certain subject?  Have a vague idea what your interests are, but
haven't found books that match them?  I'm a (new) youth services
librarian, and I'd be happy to hook you up with the books you've been
looking for.  Email me at kgs@panix.com!  And thanks again for the
responses on the young adults library service survey!

  Actually, the program with DR-DOS 6.0 is SuperStor, an entirely
 separate program, but similar to Stacker.  I tried Stacker out, but
I have SO many compresed (ZIP, ARJ) files on my hard drive that it only
saved me about 2 or 3 megs of space.  I got rid of it after a day.

Hold on a second, Gary...I think that you have mistaken his situation for
someone else's.  I believe that in this particular person's case, he was
being sued for paternity by a woman who had just given birth, but he had not
wished to be a parent.  I do NOT think that he desired to be relieved of his
responsibilities after the fact.

Mind you, I could also be wrong here, so why not get him to restate his
situation...

Jeff - So what exactly DID happen?  From what I remember on misc.legal, your
situation was a paternity case, was it not?  Please refresh us slightly (ie.,
not a huge message...).

Thanks.
