His name is Mike Corley, he is an IT professional but alas he has
mental health issues. Here are some details about Mike Corley.
He lives in London, UK. He first began his postings to usenet, BBS,
and forums in 1995, unsurprisingly first to alt.conspiracy.

He has his own website:
http://www.five.org.uk/

"There have been numerous newspaper articles and online thesis
about Mike's postings, this is a BBC article on the subject:"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A164404

"And amongst many other covers of the Mike Corley phenomenon
there has been a modern opera about this usenet legend:"
http://www.thecorleyconspiracy.com/

The problem is amplified by posters who reply to Mikes X-post floods
without snipping, and without removing the crossposts.
But also Mike Corley sets "follow-up" groups to his MI5 posts, this is
where he hasn't actually posted to a specific group but it's listed as
"follow-up" in the crossposts, the lusers who reply, their posts show
up in groups that Mike wants flooded.
Mike Corley has set uk.misc as follow-up to all his posts, (which I've
removed) it gets flooded with the replies, and of course the
X-posting. Mike Corley has been doing this since 1995, and he knows
what he is doing, he avoids killfiles/plonk/block by morphing and
using pay-as-you-go dial-up. Filters rarely have an effect as in this
example, if you set the criteria as "MI_5", then the flood morph to
"MIfive" or whatever. He dosen't post
via google dispite the headers, nor are the email addies valid, he
dances between proxy servers such as altopia etc, filtering has no
effect.
The simple rule with Mike Corley floods is to ignore and not to reply.
Mike will take his medication and eventually stop.....until the next
time. But if lusers do the foolish and reply/x-post/fail-to-snip,
then Mike Corley sticks around. So don't spam your pointless replies
across dozens of groups.

He's in here too is he?

I take turns killfiling his threads and telling him to go forth and
multiply.

He doesn't have a mental health problem, he's a complete nutter and
should be locked away.

There's NOTHING professional about him. Can't some of our London area
posters track him down and give him a royal asskicking?

Just bearing in mind - of course - that the guy is a loonie and if he gets
his ticket punched, it's a relatively simple process, for the police to
collect all posts that refer to him.

loonie on
the Aus aviation forum

Possibly, I'm not going to test either theory. I'm sure that if
Australia was suddenly killed in suspicious circumstances, the 'dumb french
loonie' would get a visit.


I just don't think it's a good idea to make personal threats in writing,
even a brief police enquiry is a pain in the hole.

Sir Trucard actually posted the other day in a sci group asking what was
wrong with the MI5 fellow. Several of us were injured falling off our
chairs...
