Q: Who's Ed Conrad?
A: Ed Conrad is a retired journalist from a small, rural town in the
Midwest. He claims to have discovered that MAN IS AS OLD AS THE HILLS.
----------------------------------------------
Q: Why is he notorious?
A: Because, he's spammed countless forums, and newsgroups since he
gained access to the Internet since '96. He claims that Man is as old as
the Carboniferus. And, human evolution is a scam.
Q: He's got to be kidding, right?
A: No. He's not kidding.
----------------------------------------------
Q: How do I kill file him?
A: Placeholer. Go to your filters, and place the person you want to kill
file. Warning: He evades kill-files by switching names. At best, kill
file his email(s).
Q: What if he switches emails?
A: You can recognise his emails. He uses around 5.
Q: Is there a pattern of names?
A: Yes. He uses the same nyms. But, beware, he can switch to new ones at
any time.
==========================================
Good luck! I will thank Ed Conrad himself for posting this information.

Minor nits: Pennsylvania is not in the Midwest (it was in
the coal seams around his home in PA where he claims to have
made his "discoveries"), and he claims "Man As Old As
Coal!", not as old as the hills.

Thanks, but he does sometimes post, "Man as old as the hills." I created
the FAQ months ago, when he was posting, "Man as old as the hills."

I avoid reading his garbage as much as possible (multiple
killfile entries just for him) so apparently I missed the
variation.
