  There won't be any more flame wars on O&S.  Everybody left.  O&S is singular
  among Who lists in that the Fang Gang will 1) threaten listers with harm and
  2) actually follow through on threats to force people off the list.  Long
  time lister Mr. Harry Gambill left last fall after Fang contacted his
  employer and reported him for posting on company time.  I think there was
  something of an exodus after that.

  Well, okay.  Fang does this on alt.music.who, as well.  A couple of years
  back he (or one of his buddies) faked a post that tied one of the posters
  there to a pedophile group.  Inspection of the return path eventually showed
  it was a fake, but the targeted poster suffered quite a bit of abuse in the
  meantime.

  I believe some of the IGTC listers can report being physically stalked by
  the Fang Gang in years past.

  These things are not funny.
