"Sir Arthur" is really *Jerry M. Kolnick* of Portland, Oregon.

Jerry Kolnick has a fairly long history on Usenet, going back
approximately to 1995. Googling for his name may be amusing and educational.

This is how Jerry Kolnick does things. He copies and pastes huge volumes
of other people's words. He usually has nothing of his own to say,
though frequently he does repost other people's material without
attribution. I believe that the word for this is "plagiarism."

Jerry Kolnick has lost numerous ISP accounts for this sort of behavior,
and has been the recipient of legal spanking. The Washington Post
spanked severely him in 1996 for disseminating a redacted version of a
copyrighted Washington Post story via Usenet, crudely edited in such a
manner as to imply the reporter supported his kooky cause of the day.
That post is still in the Google archives for the whole world to see:

The State of Oregon spanked him resoundingly in 1997 for falsely
claiming to be "Dr. Richard X. Frager, MD" and giving out rather dubious
and in fact dangerously stupid medical advice in
alt.support.attention-deficit.

Jerry Kolnick gets attention. The newsgroup alt.usenet.kooks gave him
the Looney Maroon Award for January 1998.

Jerry Kolnick.... get help!

BBWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
