In the context of his relevance in the AUK article: not only has he won
AUK's "kook of the month" award many times, and "kook of the millenium",
he has also had an award named after him.

It is well known that he has threatened everyone who disagrees with him
with legal action; it is alleged on the site mentioned above that he has
caused *hundreds* of people's ISPs to cancel their accounts, based
solely on the fact that he asked them to.

If the latter is true, it makes him one of the most influential people
on the Internet (usenet anyway), comparable to Kibo and Sollog.

As for the undeletion, maybe wait until the court papers come :)
