Hi. Thanks for that, as I don't read Wired very often.
 It's useful to warn new posters about potential risk of this
happening and telling them to be prepared to move off a group with
flashing icons. I wonder though, whoever decided to **publish this to
Wired, as it could get **us 30?  troll-wannabe's  over next week or
two.
 Some we get, are taken off without listing that they've been
reported.

 Others are 'offshore' or use College /Available computers,
especially while schools are on March Break or Easter recess, and some
managers suggest they can't trace who sent the messages.  (I don't
believe that, but can flag Mails to me to be discarded, though with
Google /other links to *this group, I haven't found how to discard a
poster who has never had seizures.)   Their olde post and corrupt link
seems to stay up in perpetuity on some news readers, long after
they've been removed or changed IDs.
   Thanks for telling us about it.  Some people are still
photosensitive and some I got 8? years ago were quite disruptive and
intense.   G./
