| [Nettime-bold] VIRUS ALERT! PLEASE SEE BELOW! |
You will see in section 1 some email transcripts from a BILL in NE who claimed to be harassed by Sari- I do not know whether this fellow is telling the truth or may be SARI in another alias- it may have been his email that infected me. You will see in bold a YOU ARE FAT virus- this is 1 of the childish taunts this girl hurled at my wife. In section 2 you will see emails rec'd from Jason Sanford- a local TC writer who spotted the virus, & Robert Goerman- an online e-guy with a Yahoo readers group. If Robert's last email is correct this virus may have gotten into his system & spat out emails. The email that Jason replied to was several mos. old- I have since installed an anti-virus kit & may have saved most of my files. If you have any problems opening this or any future emails from me- DELETE THEM!
I hope Bill from NE will come forth w whatever info he has- assuming
he is not this psychotic little girl. Any further info fro Sanford, Goerman
or any others will be appreciated. For the record, emails with the cosmoetica
address are prob the only ones infected, as the twincitieslist emails I
send are directlty from the AT&T site & not on my hard drive. Nonetheless,
I wd suggest you all 1) run scans of your systems ASAP! 2) inform any folk
on your respective e-rings and/or e-lists 3) contact me w any other
irregularities. I will update you all if I discover any viruses
on my system and/or get any further info. Apologies to all- I do not know
whether this virus was something that came to me directly or if it merely
was a byproduct from this Goerman fellow's email. BE CAREFUL. Dan Schneider

Thanks for your time.

If you've read my website's emails you can see that in the TC I have
alot of enemies- look for emails
about this Tanan Cole nut, this Hobbes ass, this Fallon guy who I started
my email amnesty policy
for, this Riemermann censorship lover, etc. But Sari was more a bete
noir to my wife. I was not on
this Plath ring. She starts out friendly, then goes wacked- she's prob
a MPD to boot. In her 'nice'
phase she wd send sweet emails & in her attack mode she wd send
nasties- but I know her syntax. I
also got a few poems from her. Then a 'hacker' started sending emails
from a 1/2 dozen people's
accts- including mine. She either hacked into an email website or had
a program that could paste
someone else's email over hers. She gave herself away, however, when
a certain 'Ted Hughes'
joined the Plath ring & some of the syntax & things mentioned
as entertainment were things Sari had
mentioned when she was being sweet to my wife. But the thing that really
gave Sari away was when
she sent out a poem by 'Dan Schneider' for critique to the Plathies
& it was a cliched piece of tripe
called MENGELE'S LAMENT. I can spot a writer's stylistic tropes &
word choices pretty well &
this piece of doggerel by me had Sari written all over it- as she had
emld me 3 poems of hers for
critique. Then she & other Plathies ragged on my wife till Sari
built a website w a photo of me, my
wife & my mother at our wedding. We had sent it to her when the
'good' Sari asked & wanted to
know what we looked like. Sari built a website & emld around people
calling my wife a pig & my
mother a mummy. Sari claims to be bisexual, is a bulimic, ex-mental
patient whose dad is a Finnish
diplomat- you can search for Ole- her dad- online. She claims to love
to lie in cemeteries & likes
Goth BS. She's a very lonely but sick person. I doubt she wd ever be
dangerous in person but on
the web she's a nuisance. A month or so after my wife left the Plath
ring I got an invite to another
ahoo writers group. When I sent info on my website they balked &
accused me of spamming them. I
fwded their invite & it turned out Sari had gone into my wife's
old eml address & was impersonating
my wife on this Yahoo group. Until I caught her & had her removed.
Whether she goes by Sari,
Sparkletoe, Ted Hughes, or whatever- Sari is her real name as far as
I can tell. Go to Google.com &
look up anti-spam orgs- there's little you can do but it's no loss
reporting her BS. DAN

re: social problems--of course it was obvious... that's all I have to
say about it. Like Michael Gause,
I am indeed getting some these days.
ANYway... no, I've no idea who this guy is. Could be her, could
be someone she's fucking
with--FYI: Sari disappeared from the Plath group shortly after Jessica
left and I stopped mailing her
a while before that--around the end of March. Jon Scobie vanished
middle of April, and I left a few
weeks ago. Kat is probably still there. For the record,
I do NOT believe Sari was the hacker--I
think it was "Ted Hughes"--all the hacker-mails and poems had his particular
brand of inanity--when
Sari talked about how the hacker annoyed her, it was one of the few
times it was easy to see that
she was being genuine. I was talking about it w/Amanda Cobb,
the moderator, one night and she
had this to say:
I don't think
she's the hacker either. If she were, she certainly wouldn't be
whining to me
about technical type things. I had to explain how spiders
search websites
and databases and that's why her name would pop up in
seach engines
and such.
And if you've found any hard proof, I'd be very surprised.
I've been thinking about an essay... not sure exactly what yet.
Tell Jessica if she wants to talk poetry, I'm game--I've been reading
a lot of it the past few
months--Yeats, Hart Crane, Philip Larkin, Wallace Stevens, Eliot, Blake...
Everett
(p.s.--I dug "The Finn" immensely.)
I got this email today- is this guy a Plathie?
Do you know him?
Or cd
Sari be fucking him over, too?

Let's put it this way- Sari's a nut, a cyber-stalker,
has the means & knowledge to break
into people's e-accounts & impersonate
people by pretending to be their email address.
In fact, my 1st thought is that you may be
that Sari- she's totally fucked up, loves to
parade her diseased mind to others- my wife
met her on a Sylvia Plath ring. Avoid her,
or better yet- shun her, make fun of her &
hope she makes good on her suicidal
tendencies. Thanks about the site! Beware
Sari- she's sick. DAN

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
This was no accident!
Someone visited my e-mail group, FATEreader, at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FATEreader
and OBVIOUSLY lifted Message # 749... self-promotional material for
a new
cyber-column I am about to create for the readers of FATE magazine.
My Message #749 was not only then cut and pasted, but was editted by
human
hands, thus becoming the "body" of an attacking e-mail... SO THAT MY
GUARD
MIGHT BE DROPPED. The person sending this e-mail took the time to type
in
the following INTRODUCTION... "'Robert A. Goerman' wrote:" Also, the
phrase
"> Take a look to the attachment." was typed in BY SOMEONE. Viruses
do not
have the power to "personalize" their attack.
The virus within the attachment was discovered by McAfee. As the virus
could
not be cured, I was luckily NOT able to download the INFECTED file.
I have alerted MSN to my observations.

Jason, Robert, I just noticed that a file is called 'YOU
ARE FAT!"- this is undoubtedly from this girl from
Finland who was cyberstalking my wife. Her name is Sari
Sotamaa. & she must have been using an e-alias yester
when she wrote in as this guy from Nebraska. She hated my
wife & set up a website calling my wife fat. Sorry about
this- hopefully I can get a program that will stop the
virus from doing too much damage. DAN- again- spread the
