It's Michael ("Are you being investigated?") Enlow, with his infamous
UCE cancelbot. A Vulis/Lipsitz/Slaton clone. It's hitting news.admin.*
particularly badly. Well over 700 cancels last night. jeremy@exit109.com
is one of the despammers he's targetted in his smear campaign.

Dave the Resurrector is on the job, and should have resurrected your
FAQ and any others in news.admin.* hit by Enlow. Look for articles
with "REPOST:" in the subject line.

Enlow has been taunting people in news.admin.net-abuse.{email,usenet,misc},
alt.slack, rec.games.mecha and elsewhere with UCE, supposedly a product
of "CrisLewis Inc" (guess why)...

With the last batch and the DtR intervention, there are threads starting
up in nanam and elsewhere.
