The Michael. J. Vandeman Quiz
First of all let me apologise about posting through cyclingforums.com. My newsreader won't work for some reason and I am moving to a new ISP soon so I cant be bothered to fix it. I have noticed that Mike, Mr Vandeman, "Dr" Vandeman, Vandy or just plain old Bigot has surfaced again recently and has been being a right pain in the arse. So I thought we could all poke some fun at him and show him just how annoying he is by giving him a dose of his own medicine. So I have devised a little quiz about our good doctor friend. Try and make your answers funny and feel free to add your own! Section 1. Vandy's qualifications. a) What grade did he get in his Masters? b) Did he really complete a PhD? c) What are his "environmentalist" qualifications to make him the leading expert in his field? Section 2. Vandy's lifestyle a) What does he do for a living? b) Whereabouts in the world does he live? c) What does he do when he isn't posting on usenet annoying people? d) What does he eat? (Given that he objects to killing plants and animals he must have a tough job eating!) Section 3. Vandy's Lovelife. a) When was the last time he got laid? b) With a human being? c) With a female human being? d) Estimate in gigabytes the size of his pornography collection. Section 4. His hatred of muntain bikers and our great sport. a) What is so special about us that makes him want to bother us so much? b) Has he ever tried just ASKING if we want to be his friend? c) Why does he feel the need to reveal confidential information such as people email addresses the whole time? And finally, if anybody has his address please email it to me and I will arrange for my old mountainbike to be posted to his house for an early christmas present. I hope I haven't wound too many people up. Cheers Dave -- davebee |

Sorry for double posting but I missed off a critical section. Section 6. Vandyisms a) List 10 Vandyisms (ie 5 things that only Mike would say, e.g LIAR or DUH) Bonus geek question: Find 2 reports that Vandy has written in which he has not referenced his own material. Super Bonus Geek questrion: Find 1 solitary report of publication by our good "friend" that has been published in a recognised journal or publication and has been critiqued by respected (note key word respected) members of the environmentalist lobby. -- davebee |

1.a Unknown, claims to have an MA in math, though in his postings
there's little evidence he has skills in this area 1.b Yes, he has a PhD in psychology, his thesis was about ethnic food preferences 1.c He has no environmental qualifications and is not recognized as an expert in this area by any professional 2.a Programmer for PacBell in SF Bay Area. He has denied it, but it's easily verifiable. 2.b Somewhere in the Berkeley, look him up if you're interested 2.c He's annoying his neighbors. Look up "Lance Montauk" and "Vandeman" on Google Groups for some details. 2.d Probably whatever he feels like. While he likes to preach about what others should do, he pretty much does whatever he wants (e.g. uses cars, irresponsibly owns destructive pets, etc.). 3.a,b,c He's married, so probably not that long ago. But he's an old man, so draw your own conclusions. 3.d Probably zero. 4.a He hates MTB riders because of incidents about 15 years ago, when he began to encounter them on local trails. 4.b He doesn't seem to have a lot of friends, if you exclude fellow fanatics. Read Montauk's letter for an insight. 4.c I don't see he does anything wrong with publishing email addresses. Anyone stupid enough to write him should expect it. The "solution" to dealing with him has been posted here thousands of times - ignore him. He thrives on attention. thanks, CritPOSER |

My research is indicating that you have had some sort of affiliation with "synanon" on the past if not currently. This makes you at least the member of some weirdo cult(a basic internet search will reveal a good deal of academic research into this and other cults) if not also a recovering(or active?) drug user. This goes far in explaining your semi-literate usenet screeds. LAUGHING AT YOU. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Vandeman=drug burnout from the 60s |

Such as your I.Q., or lack of it. Really how does it prove someone's not honest? The only thing they may be hiding is thier email address to prevent the spam bots from harvesting it. And as for the I.Q comment anyone who responds to questions with the answer of DUH really shouldn't be smart ass comments. Jason |
