How to create bulletproof clothes ???

Every month or so, using a fictitious name, this troll floods 5000 newsgroups (all cross-posted to a single low-traffic but unrelated newsgroup) with superficially relevant comments. The purpose is to disrupt with off-topic crosspostings.

Like all trolls, he means to annoy and disrupt. The tracking newsgroup is the way he "keeps score" of how much damage he has caused. Don't put yourself on display in his trophy case.

Like all trolls, the way to handle him is to IGNORE him.

Take a few minutes of your time and check out the following score cards to see firsthand what this perverted troll is doing. I promise, you'll be amazed at just how active and perverted he is. You will see firsthand the troll's work and his trophies. You will see into the sickness and darkness of the worst troll on the internet today. Read some of his posts and look at the headers. You will see than no newsgroup is immune. You will see flamewars started, some containing over a hundred messages.

Browse the can.uucp newsgroup, his old score card, for Karl-Hugo Weesberg

Browse the is.matur newsgroup, his current score card, for Dan Simper.

Browse the scot.tld newsgroup, his current score card, for Bruno Beam.

Browse the israel.amix newsgroup, his current score card, for Paul Eisner.

He is known as the "anagram troll" because his fictitious names are often discovered to be anagrams (for example "Dan Simper" is an anagram of "Spiderman", Bruno Beam is an anagram of "Unabomber").

This guy is a serious troll with a serious problem. Don't be one of his trophies.

Chances are that I don't subscribe to this newsgroup. I am simply monitoring the newsgroups the Anagram Troll is using as his score card. Any posts from me are a result of that monitoring. I normally only post to the newsgroup being spammed, not to the score card newsgroup, thus I will not see any replies directly to this post.

Above all, please do not allow him to start a flamewar or extensive discussion in your newsgroup. He thrives on that. If it is too late, don't crosspost to his score card newsgroup. That trophy count is his motivation to continue trolling. Please help stop him in his tracks.

I think that both you and the troll are the same person , first you write your Infantile note than you warn against it ,,, mirjam

Does anyone remember Dudley Doright cartoons? In one episode, The heroine Nell Fenwick, knits a bullet proof suit out of steel wool!

I remember seeing somewhere a comment about an art student who knitted steel wool for a class project. I think she also spun and knitted dryer lint.

It is, but then, art projects don't have to be long lasting. ;-)

Just for the hellavit, we once made an armored vest fro the pull tops of drink cans. I doubt if it would stop a bullet or even a ray gun... Haze

Copper wire will knit very successfully on a domestic knitting machine. If you use enameled wire you also get a huge range of colours to choose from.

Yes indeed. That was Carol Huff of Indigo Hound. The steel wool yarn just about cut through the hooks on the wheel she used. I think she used the dryer lint yarn as weft in a tapestry purse rather than knitting it. Heidi Hooper makes "paintings" of dryer lint!

Some folks use it for paper making or making paper mache 'clay'. I have tried both, but ours seems to have rather too much cat hair to look good.

I knew an artist who created works in dryer lint. Evey load has a slightly different color, so she would save up batches, arrange the colors as she liked them on a board, then put a piece of glass over it and a frame around it. She had a lovely table top in her house, with a dryer lint mosaic under the glass. I wondered if she sometimes said to herself, "I guess I need to wash the red socks to get this next batch the color I want."

It is a very in thing right now to knit and weave etc with wire. I saw a fantastic exhibit in Vancouver Last year. All woven wire pieces, very nice at that. Knitting with wire and using beads is also done a lot now

And to think this discussion "thread" was all started by a "Troll!"

Maybe Trolls have their uses as well....LOL
