My first impression is that it is neither of these people. The original mikeeusa crapflood was coming from IP addresses in upstate NY/Canada, registered to optonline. This batch is (when not using tor) coming from addresses in Atlanta, Georgia, apparently. This trip on the loser-rant-mobile also has a different writing style than either of the others. It seems to me debian-women has found another impotent, friendless loser who can't find better things to do with his time. My suggestion is just to do the same as we did for mikeeusa, and block the addresses we know about, advise yahoo someone is using their machiens for hate mail, and watch him go away after a while. For the ones that sneak through the lists, well, that's why procmail exists. I have already contacted abuse@, FWIW, but I don't expect to hear anything back - I never did with mikeeusa at any rate, although he seems to have lost that address.
