There's a lot of strange people going around calling themselves film-
makers these days. Take this chap for instance: Neil Jackson.
Here's his one and only post in usenet:

Worryingly, he has tried to block people from accessing a discussion
in which several people not only cast aspersion on his abilities as a
"film-maker" but also claim that he swindled them out of thousands of
dollars in course fees:

(You'll need to view these as 'cached snapshots of page' to block the
page blocker that keeps popping up.)
The fellow even had the temerity to threaten me in a Yahoo group - me,
the might Zarok!
I spit out the bones of tiny sprats like Neil Jackson for breakfast.
