This happened a couple of years ago. He put down Arachne. Also he said some things to the effect that we are all backward and stupid people for using DOS. He tried to have us believe that he had joined the list for the purpose of educating and enlightening us and rescuing us from the dark ages. He acted as though he thought himself to be so superior to all of us. He recommended that we all convert to windozers and he advertised some products which he was marketing and which run under Window$. This guy lasted only for a few days because all the list members who chose to comment about him put him down very severely. In an apparent attempt to get even with me for a private reply I sent to him which he did not like, he sent to me a Window$ email virus, which of course is not even capable of infecting my all-DOS system. Although I did not report his behavior to his ISP he suddenly disappeared from the list. Good riddance!
