Just to give you folks an idea of what I have to put up with as manager of thttpd...
On the evening of 27dec2003 I got a phone message from a Mr. Jarrod Duffy, 1-954-448-6980. The next morning I got another phone message from Mr. Shane Freitas, 1-209-649-2300. Both messages were full of weird accusations and threats, and were generally unintelligible. Mr. Freitas in particular is quite a mumbler. One of these people also phoned my parents and some of my neighbors! I replied to them via email. Here is the ensuing conversation, in full and editted only for presentation and privacy.

My advice to you: seek professional help. Either an internet professional who can explain your various misunderstandings and help you figure out what is actually going on, or a psychiatric therapist who can help you deal with your paranoia and anger management problem. Or both! I believe our conversation is now completed, and I do not expect to hear from you again. No apology is necessary.

That is taking credit for hacking my website! MY WEBSITE! 2) did you register at procra.com defending Dave [elided] & tag exchange, when you aren't even a repossessor? If you aren't directly involved, you are indirectly involved. You know who did this to my e-mail and website. I can't believe a homeowner since 1985 would jeopardize his financial well-being to help out a drunken buddy. Call me - I left you a message! My Cell # is 209-649-2300. I just spoke wiht your father at # 510-[elided]; he gave me the # I already left a v/mail on.

This constitutes harassment. You will cease immediately or I will file charges. I am happy to discuss this in email. You can start by explaining exactly what the problem is, in full detail. Assume I know absolutely nothing of the background information, since I don't. Send me all relevant URLs and emails. Leave nothing out. If this is about some posts on a message board, then send me a precise pointer to them. I got similar mysterious accusations from one Jarrod Duffy earlier today. Is this related?

Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 00:11:16 -0500 From: Dave [elided] Subject: Re: Attack of the Repo Men To: "Jef Poskanzer" <[email protected]> Mr. Poskanzer, From what I have been able to gather from this BS is that some sites got hacked into on Saturday. To what extent, I have no clue. Someone was able to follow a entrant back to some Russian hacker forum and in clicking around came upon a link to a site of yours. It just so happens that I, also in the recovery business, signed on for an "acme" mail address sometime ago and used it to surf various industry forums in anonymity. Apparently these two investigative savants stumbled on the fact that acme.com was being used on the forum in question and also somehow linked within this Russian forum. I spoke with Mr. Frietas by phone earlier today and explained the connection to him. However, I don't believe he is capable of understanding very much at all. The Recovery Industry is very competitive and you can always tell that someone is treading water when they think everyone is out to get them. Forget these guys and concentrate on your work at the Acme Labs. Regards, Dave [elided] Beep-Beep

Things have been cleaned up here A LOT since way back when; that, and you don't see me posting as much as I used to "CliffDiver". B.T.W. -> I appreciate all the Viruses you helped spread! If it weren't for you, I would have never ran accross this Pozkanzer dude that is killlin' me with Virus's right now. For that, I am forever grateful CliffDiver.
Date: 03/17/04 08:51 PM Author: Dave [elided] Subject: Tsk...Tsk... I can deal with your fatuous statements as such. Others might not. Did it ever cross your mind Shane, that the reason this Posanker dude is gunning for you is that you shot your mouth off before you had any facts? Once and for all Cupcake, viruses are not my style. Even if I knew how to send them. Stop feeling so damn self-important. Or is everybody just out to get you? Dave
Date: 03/17/04 11:33 PM Author: Shane/Accurate Subject: Bottom Line -> I would have never run accross the Psycho if you hadn't of tried some B.S. he was offering on his website; and inevitably, he was introduced to the (this) repossession community; therefore, you can take responsibility for that. Don't you find it a bit coincidental this same man is associated, in some way, with some people that hacked my website (along with quite a few others)??? Coincidental? Indeed... Funny how this Psycho then shows such compassion for you, and goes out of his way not to mention your name on his website? Wow - yet more coincidence? Indeed... There's more to the story, huh? Just tell me already...
Date: 03/18/04 11:12 AM Author: Dave [elided] Subject: SORRY CUPCAKE... If you believe someone using an email routing server to be B.S., or the process itself, oh well. I will take responsibility for using it. Along with the ACME License Plate Maker. The ACME labs offer alot of features. YOU, and you alone cupcake, must take reponsibility for your own actions and any wrath you may have brought upon yourself. Yes there is "more to the story, huh? Just tell me already...". Read it HERE. Is everyone out to get you cupcake? Dave [elided]
Date: 03/18/04 07:16 PM Author: Shane/Accurate Subject: cupcake? You got a sweet-tooth Dave? I mean, I know I'm good lookin' and all, and I hate to break your heart, but I don't swing that way. You couldn't get me to drink enough booze. You'll have to shop elsewhere...
Date: 03/19/04 08:51 AM Author: Don [elided] Subject: Is that it? "I am not gay" is your best reply? (Paraphrasing of course.) This is the best line from the thread Dave linked to: "Apparently these two investigative savants stumbled on the fact that acme.com was being used on the forum in question and also somehow linked within this Russian forum. I spoke with Mr. Frietas by phone earlier today and explained the connection to him. However, I don't believe he is capable of understanding very much at all. The Recovery Industry is very competitive and you can always tell that someone is treading water when they think everyone is out to get them." "Investigative savants." Classic. I couldnt read it all, there was too much of it. Maybe someone else has a different favorite? I cant believe Freitas and Duffy wasted this guy's time like that. Way back when Shane first posted his lame suppositions, I followed the link to acme and immediately after reading Mr. Poskanzer's resume knew that Shane was mistaken--this guy is famous in certain circles. I almost replied to inform Shane, but cancelled my post when I realized, as is pointed out so eloquently above, he would not get it anyway. I had the first clue to Mr. Poskanzer's innocence is this affair upon glancing at the name of his domain name, acme.com. When do you think he bought that domain? Last year? You know acme right, as in the best, the pinnacle. As in Wile E Coyote. As in domain is unavailable, please try another. Geez. Acme was probably one of the first names to be sold when DARPA released internet technology to the public--just after Al Gore invented it. Mr Freitas' and Mr Duffy's exchange with Mr. Poskanzer is an embarrasmnet to the repossession industry. On behalf of the more rational faction of the repossession industry, however small it may be, I extend my apologies to Mr. Poskanzer.
That's all so far. If any of you have occasion to exchange further words with Mr. Duffy or Mr. Freitas, I'll be happy to publish it here.
