From the posts I have seen in the past, I would say you have grounds
to get his internet account closed.

Seeing that his ip addy is 99.247.231.169 I would
grab some proof from his posts, send copies
to google and rogers.com and see how it goes. :)

Oh, I see... Well, then I got the defamation part right anyway. ;-)

He is indeed a troll, and he has been spouting pro-Microsoft nonsense in
this and other groups on more than one occasion. I had forgotten about
that aspect of him when I wrote my original reply, but you've just
reminded me of that again. ;-)

Understood. ;-)

Well, since the update from the real Lew in this thread, it would thus
appear that "realto" is in fact Roger Maynard, once more trying to
defame the real Lew Pitcher.

I concur with what Bit Twister wrote. Lew does indeed appear to have a
case against Roger Maynard for defamation and libel, and apart from any
other legal actions Lew could take, I bet that he would also have
sufficient evidence to get Maynard's internet connection canceled on
the grounds of this libel.

Take your pills. You'll need them if you use Linux.
