    Is it just me, or to all BSD developers have amazing names? My jealousy is what made me switch from Mark -> Markus.

      My name used to be John, but I'm such a big fan of crypto and sparc64 work.

        My name used to be Charlie, but it didn't really work out for me
        so now I'm Charlotte.

            No, it's not me, but I too have had problems with this "Charlie"
            character. I was quick to notice the problem, however, thanks to
            his ridiculous choice of last name (obviously fake).

            The fact that the spam he sent appeared to come from my systems did
            not alert me because, as I'm pretty well versed in the computer
            sciences, I know how easy it is to fake mail headers! The more
            alarming thing, though, was the content of the actual messages.

            At first I kindly asked him to stop, but he just responded by sending
            a copy of my message in return! I decided I'd had enough of this guy,
            so I wrote a complaint to the abuse address. Guess what? They too
            replied in the same manner! Obviously Charlie was not working alone.

            Realizing I would not be able to solve this in any diplomatic fashion,
            I installed bogofilter and trained it to classify Charlie's mail as
            spam. Now Charlie is gone! I suggest you delete this user from your
            system immediately!

            Regards,
            Atrun
