tons of spam

[jdow]

Prove for me that he used that address to post a message to this or
another Fedora list in the last month and a half. He said he'd just joined.
So I went back in my email archives to look and see.

As far as I can tell this is a typical abusive Fedora list response to a
newcomer. I've been watching this behavior for a very long time now
and it has seldom wavered from consistently cranky and abusive. You
are a fine example.

Have a despicable day. That's the way you seem to like it.
