I know many of you folks who use BLU are aggravated by these spam like
messages, but this Jules Gilbert post was pretty much the funniest thing
ever.

I read it, and immediately several things came to mind, the first of which
was this was either a) a scam or b) the biggest moronic plot ever or c) some
weird combo of the two.

I thought about welcoming Jules to threaten me and otherwise begin a long
drawn out battle (not on blu of course).
It would give me an excuse to put up a webpage, where others can then come
and laugh at him, and otherwise belittle the person. Ultimately, I decided
while this would be fun, it probably isn't worth my town. So instead,
I thought I would just welcome you all to sit back and laugh at this
pathetic human being :)

No, he's right.  He said he used Linux IN 1991, not SINCE 1991.  Reread
that email.  Not that any of us believe that either, but we cannot
prove/disprove that.

I am going to list some resources for finding out more information on 
Jules Gilbert.  I make no statements to my opinion of him by doing so; 
merely listing some information for others to form their own opinion.

I am also going to state, for a fact, as documented on the links above, 
that Jules Gilbert has threatened in public forums to sue several people 
who have disagreed with him or questioned him in those forums.

I have had personal dealings with Jules Gilbert, which I will not discuss 
here, other than to say that I ended those dealings in short order.

All of the above is fact, and can be proven.

I, personally, would hate to see someone censored or removed from this 
mailing list, but I also feel that it is only fair (and safer) that the 
members of this list have background information on this situation.
