I am so glad to have found your web page, I am five and half months
pregnant and am finding the emails very offensive and quite upsetting.
Coming into work on a Monday morning to be told that you have three
months to live is not very nice to say the least.

Lets hope we get the bugger!!

At least I'm not on my own - THANKS

Any clue as to how we can get rid of this spamming?
I've recieved his email 8 times now...
Class action lawsuit stuff?
Can we notify authorities in his local area?
Can we find out where he lives & publish his home phone number on the web? (I
doubt he'd recieve more than a few thousand angry calls...)
I'd be happy to help out any way I can.

Dear Stop Robert Lavelle:

Sure enjoyed your page found with Alta Vista!  I agree with you entirely.

Thought I could catch the bastard by asking the Webmaster / Hostmaster of
the freebie servers he was using "to check their server's LOG file and
e-mail me his real address."

Sad to say, the two I asked for assistance refused to reply.

The e-mail address I use exclusively is: xxxx@xxxx.xxx

Unfortunately it has NO capability of filtering out "JK37" e-mails, but
it does have the capability of forwarding my e-mail to any URL I wish.

IDEA:
----
Write a little assembly language program that tests the FROM: from on
another e-mail account I have with my ISP that ignores any "JK37" FROM....
maybe it will work till this psycho bastard changes his FROM name....

OR:
--
Supposedly, version 3.0 of the Eudora e-mail, mail box program has a filter
capability?  May buy it and give it a try on my ISP's e-mail address that
I have.

Any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated.

Again: thanks for your fine page on Stop Robert Lavelle.

Best wishes,   RR

Hey,

I'm so excited - I just found your web site "The Stop Robert Lavelle
Page" and boy am I happy to finally discover that I am NOT ALONE in my
growing annoyance with this FREAK!  He has been spamming me for a good
two years now.  I always forward the offensive spam on to the ISP, but of
course he always crops up at some other ISP.  Would I *love* to wring
this twerp's neck!  I can't really discontinue the e-mail address he uses
as it is my work address, and changing the account means moving about 6
years' worth of files (ack!), so I'll just have to put up with his crap.

You might be amused to see what one of the ISPs he used did with their
home page after his recent Monday spam (as "jk37"):

http://www.hmp.net/

Anyway, thanks for the web page and for putting all the relevant links
on it.  At least I can get some satisfaction out of seeing this guy
dragged through the mud like he deserves.  :-> Add me to the list of
"Stop Robert Lavelle" supporters!!

I have gotten this lavelle spam about 200 times at least.  I have written
to him with no response.  I often wonder if he means something by this or
is just being stupid.  Is it a marketing ploy of some kind?  A kind of
brainwashing the masses with name recognition? Next thing we know a
Robert Lavelle will run for president and  win!  Or maybe a Robert
Lavelle action figure will be made...he is fighting to save the universe!
Buy them quick, they will move off the shelves like beanie babies!  I was
seriously wondering though, what exactly does he mean by his spam?
His website seems to be gone...or your link is wrong.
Let me know if you know the new link.

Thanks.

I thought I was the only one.

I, too, have been spammed incessantly by Mr. Lavelle, probably due to my web-posted beliefs
that Y2K will be useless ( http://www.geocities.com/qfmarsh64/DIMENSION.html#y2k OR
http://www.nd.edu/~mmarchan/y2k.htm ).  It would be really funny were it not so annoying.

I actually did reply to him once and got through . . . unfortunately, his only reply was the
same BS again, only the subject line was "YES EVERYONE WILL START TO EAT EVERYONE".
Unfortunately, I've deleted everything about him, so I can't tell you which of his myriad
addresses he used.  I have reported him to the last three domains he's spammed me with:
microworld.com, Hoskin Megabyte Products (www.hmp.net), and Prolific Communications (www.gldl.net).
Thanks for your support.

Hi 'stoplavelle'

Thanks for the anti-Lavelle web pages. Someone in the net-abuse.email
newsgroup pointed me to your URL. Following the links from your site I've
found some fascinating stuff. I'm *so* glad that there is a counterforce out
there totally fed up with Lavelle's endless brain-dead messages. I'll be
posting a message of support in your guestbook soon.

For you interest, please find attached below a copy of a messages I posted
in the newsgroup yesterday.

I'll be following the Lavelle saga with great interest.

Cheers,

Hello from Melbourne Australia,

I can't believe it, but Robert Lavelle is spamming his message again with
renewed vigour. This kook must surely be in the running for some kind of
award for persistence and consistency. I've been getting various versions of
this message for about 3 years now:

>THE UNIVERSE SPACE ENDS & MOVES O /\ + \/ O
>The discovery of the understanding of the universe.

As the magic year number 2000 approaches, Lavelle's embellished his standard
message a little bit with a preamble about the "rapture" and the destruction
of mankind and its descent into economic chaos and "survival of the
fittest". The latest message seems to come from:

soran.pacific.net.au ([210.23.129.39])

He must surely be running out of ISPs. I'm just wondering if anyone in this
group has up-to-date general information on Lavelle and his activities.

Cheers,
G

Hello,

I am so glad you have this site!  I have been getting e-mails from this nut
since February.  He used to use Juno accounts and send them to various
church sites webmasters, which I am one
of a few at my church.  I also got very frustrated and annoyed at
this coward, and complained to juno and Hotmail, but there was nothing
they could do.  And let me tell you, he is a not a Christian!  Read
this e-mail I got from him on April 24, entitled "Ethnic Cleansing".
His address at that time was ndtrja3@juno.com, I have at least
ten others similar to that.  I would like to help anyway I can to
stop his harrassment.  Thanks!  D

>Ethnic Cleansing

>That is done because there is too many people in the world.

Wow; I hadn't read that one.  He only started spamming me last summer.  In my personal experience with them, fundamentalist Christians do not tend to use profanity or worry about "overpopulation".  So you may be right that he is not one.  What is he, then?

Subject: What You Got.

>YOU GOT 4 MONTHS TO LIVE

Have you ever considered the feelings of terminally ill people who may have
only one week to live?  This sort of unquestionable message may give them
false hopes!  Are you prepared to be responsible for a blanket statement of
such a spectacular promise? And, what if I happen to be one of the
"fittest"  that will live on?  Then, don't I have much longer to live?
Finally, not to be too nit picky about this, but shouldn't that be "you HAVE
4 months to live?  Am I supposed to take an apocalyptic messages seriously
from someone who cannot compose it properly?

>
>Are you comfortable?

Sitting here in front of my computer in a comfy chair, yes!

>Got enough food in the house?

No, but that has always been the case.

>Electricity working?

Electricity always "works." The electric company may fail.

>Got fuel for the car?

Yes, thank you for your concern.

>Well come January 1, 2000 all that is going to change.

Really? Well....

1. Discomfort builds character.
   
2. Finally!  Enough food.  Yes!!!!
   
3. No electricity means no more junk e-mail.  I guess that removes one hassle from my life.
   
4. I take the train.  That won't affect me much.

>You know that little Y2K thing where many of the computers
>in the world are just going to shut down on Jan 1.

From someone who is educated about computers, let me correct that statement.
Replace "many" with "a small percentage of" and "shut down" with "have some
date-based buggy problems"

>Well that little problem is going to collapse all the economies >in the world.

Ummm...  Hmmm...  No.  Replace "collapse" with "slightly hinder." There,
that works for me.

>No more food, electricity, fuel, communications etc...

... not a single luxury.  Like Robinson Corusoe....  Where have I heard
that before?  Gilligan's Island?  Mary Ann here I come!

>all those things are going to shut down like that  "snap" (maybe a week or so)
>and the survival of the fittest will become the law
>until the antichrist takes over the world.

Last I checked, Billy C and Billy G already HAVE taken over the world.  How
much worse can things get?

>YOU CAN  STAY HERE FOR THAT
>IT'S BEST TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THAT HAPPENS

Like harikari and jump on to the comet, man?  Or drink poison at gunpoint?

>BUT THE RAPTURE WILL NOT OCCUR UNTIL
>THE UNIVERSE IS PROPERLY DISPLAYED

Gotta fix my monitor for that one....

>STAND UP AND OPEN YOUR MOUTH !

Last time I heard something that forceful it was more like "Kneel down."
But I'm not into that sort of thing.

>THE UNIVERSE   SPACE ENDS & MOVES   O /\ + \/ O
>The discovery of the understanding of the universe.
>E=MC² The equation for the atom bomb.

Either that, or the theory of relativity.  Or maybe just a description of
the relationship between energy, matter and time that allowed us (humanity)
to create a bomb as well as other beneficial forms of technology.

> It says that matter and energy
>are the same thing.

No, it says they are related.

>So then what is that? Matter, look at a brick. Its

>Its in a three dimensional form. It comes to us from the sun therefore

OK, you've techo-babbled long enough.  Most of what you've wrote is OK
until this part.  Current theory states that space doesn't "end", rather it
wraps.  Much like the surface of the Earth.  It is limited in it's area, but
you can travel infinitely on it.  Weird, but it makes sense.

> Space
>does not go on forever. Space is in a three dimensional form. Space

no.

> but does not have gravity. Space moves like this. O /\ + \/ O
>And that is the understanding of time.
>   O  This is what was first, in the beginning.
>   /\  This is the old kings and queens.

Ok, big time problems with this one.  First, no proof or way of even
attempting to prove that equation.  I could say J=pb*b, where J=Jelly,
pb=Peanut Butter, and B=Bread, but that does not make it so.  If we examine
the equation and multiply two breads with one jelly and make them equal,
then we have two jellies.  Both this and your equation make as much sense.

Secondly, how EXACTLY does this tie into einstein or the Y2K problem?  Ever
hear of putting things in CONTEXT?  Let me give you an example:

WRONG:
   I went to the zoo and saw a lion.  I got into an accident on the way
home.  I therefore ate pizza for breakfast.

RIGHT:
   I went to the zoo and saw a lion.  While thinking about the lion on the
way home I got into an accident.  Because the accident was my fault, I had
no money left for groceries and ate leftover pizza for breakfast.

See?  The first one makes no sense, but the second one puts things in
context.  I will not summarily dismiss your claims, but I will state that
you have not expressed them coherently.

>And that is the understanding of the universe. Glory be to the Father
>the Son and the Holy Ghost. Revelation chapter 10&11;15-19. It is very
>important the people receive this information. You may tell someone
>about this.
>           Thank You
>           Robert Lavelle

You do, however, get some marks for credibility because you have not:

1. Asked for money
   
2. Sold a product
   
3. Asked for my conversion
   
4. Explicitly mandated control or authority over me

This tells me that at least you believe what you have written (which is not a
good thing in all cases), or that you are a very thoughtful prankster.  I
will always give people the benefit of the doubt when I am able, so I will
think about you in the first category.  Now here's to hoping that your
e-mail account doesn't get yanked for spamming before I can reply to you...

On a final note, people have been predicting the end of things from the
beginning.  Now if life as we know it comes to an end, it will only do this
once, right?  So the only thing that will make prophets of destruction
correct, assuming that the end will come, is their proximity to it.  Please
let me know what distinguishes your prediction of doom from all those that
have came before you so that I may believe the accuracy of yours.
