    hey, Dave, been awhile - my spam has dried up for last 2 years. Not
    kissing sharks anymore?
    I saw that article in the New Yorker last month and thought of nanae immediately but didn't know why exactly - now I know. I didn't read the
    whole article then - I remembered when that big bust went down - Sven I
    don't recollect. Did he enjoin nanae in any cartoonies? I've moved to
    the mountains of NV. Also thought of you while looking over the current
    SCOTUS brew-haha. Some things don't change, unfortunately.

    Glad to see your up and about,

    jg

    When it comes to NANAE, I don't remember Sven as being anything more
    than an invisible friend of he-who-shall-not-be-named.

    I'm no longer doing adventure diving, but my fondness for
    elasmobranches is unabated.

    I saw that article in the New Yorker last month and thought of
    nanae immediately but didn't know why exactly - now I know. I

    Thanks, Jeff. It's good to "see" you, too.

    than an invisible friend of he-who-shall-not-be-named.

    A quick search of nan-a.email shows no matches for From headers which
    include 'sven' or 'bunker'. There were various fans of the luser who
    is not being named, including Ragnar the Mighty^W Limp.

    http://dritz.mako.ath.cx/ajs/20130810_ragnarthelimp.txt.gz

    There was also a t.ravis.

    http://dritz.mako.ath.cx/ajs/t.ravis.txt

    Sven somehow avoided a long jail term, in the huge DDoS attack on
    Spamhaus, which seems to suggest he may have provided useful evidence.

    IIRC, most of the intel came via visitors to the darknet.

    I do think back fondly on "Junior MENSA" Pastor Peanut Butter Farts
    outing Narko, the seventeen year old kid, who pulled the trigger in
    the attack.
