So now you are a Doctor? Where were you educated? What professional
associations are you a member of? What is your degree in? Where did you
do your residency?

All,

Does John have any business here that anyone can discern, other than to waste
bandwidth and time? If he is a Doctor I am willing to lodge complaints with
the appropriate entities to have him stripped of his credentials. I have
seen nothing to indicate he is a patient, and nothing to indicate he is a
relative of a patient or survivor. Is there any way he can be banned from
the newsgroup, so he cannot post? If so I ask for such an ouster.

George,

I think you have a valid opinion of John. He has been trolling our
newsgroup since 1997 with his hatred for conventional medicine.

Unfortunately, because this is an unmoderated newsgroup we can not prevent
his postings. However, we can insist that he abides by our Charter, and the
Acceptable Use Policy of his ISP (BT Yahoo) and web site host (Tonga). Our
recourse is to file a complaint to his ISP and web host when he violates
any of the previous policies. If you need help reading the Usenet headers
or filing a complaint, send me an email at H2G5C7M1K9A8 at bellsouth dot
net and I will help you offline.

He has nothing else to offer....Past behaviour predicts future behaviour.

Past behaviour predicts future behaviour.
I propose that he contact his ISP and promise to never post to cancer newsgroups
again.
Then post their reply here (that they'll continue his service as long he continues
to not post here), with full headers..
Then we don't have to jump through these hoops anymore and cause more work for
everybody, including patients.
If he breaks his deal with his ISP, all that would be required is _one_ report to
them.
