yup, victor is the very defination of spam. Does everyone else agree because
we need to reach concensus on this.

here is spam proceedure:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
// C. Spam Attack Procedure [top]

A spam attack is defined as a pattern of abuse of the newswire by a
particular poster. If the editorial collective reaches consensus (at a
meeting or on the listserv) that a specific individual is launching a spam
attack on the AIMC newswire, the spammer's post(s) may be hidden from the
newswire by a member of the editorial collective. Each instance of
recognized spam will be considered individually, and the reason why the
editorial collective perceives the post(s) as spam will be stated on the
editorial list, as well as in a comment on the hidden article itself. When a
member of the editorial collective hides a post, (s)he shall immediately
notify the editorial listserv.

theres a coupla posts of his up on the news wire as i write, duplicates and
links to duplicates mostly (all hidden articles on other indy wires).
Started to use other names sometimes, but *exactly* the same posts as when
this person posts as victor.
