Before you get abusive like this Ed, it'd be wise to check if he has 
actually
used the address to send an email to a Fedora list. He has not, within the 
last
month and a half, sent any to any Fedora list to which I am subscribed. If 
he
has NEVER sent a message with the gasjr4wd username before then he
might have a case. It does not look like a random ID, so I suspect he has
used it before elsewhere and the spam usage is coincidental.
