What is Dave the Resurrector?
Dave the Resurrector is a program written and run by Chris Lewis that reports on and reposts messages cancelled in the news.admin.net-abuse.* hierarchy. Dave’s code was written after a particularly obnoxious run of cancels in news.admin.net-abuse.misc sent by Kevin Lipsitz (since charged with fraud and other offenses); the name was suggested by Tim Skirvin, and Chris accepted the name in honor of Dave Hayes, of news.admin.* fame. Dave’s reposting activities are occasionally extended to include the rest of news.* and other hierarchies, to resurrect messages removed by large-scale rogue cancellers. From time to time Dave’s presence has also been requested in other newsgroups.
