UGH! Snails!
"Marcia, Bethany and Me" stumbled into the group and
rudely farted the following noxious cloud: And if following your advice, then when one gets up in the morning to see their tank, they see dozens of snails on the glass and plants, and they see work to do, and they have work to do. Best to totally eradicate the pests. Simply put, snails take joy away from the hobby. And snails are costly in the damage they do to valuable plants. -Daryl S. Kabatoff-Documented pedophile and well-known worshiper of penises. snipped a lot of psycho crap from Shawn "pedophile-boy" Kabatoff The following (courtesy of Waxy.org) is sort of an unofficial "FAQ" explaining the psychotic nonsense posted to Usenet by Shawn Daryl Kabatoff AKA "Dar", AKA "Probababbilities". And now AKA "marcia and me". WARNING: Read below before even thinking about responding to this twit. http://www.waxy.org/archive/2002/05/...a.shtml#000643 Usenet has the tendency to provide a public forum for those who would normally be scribbling in a closet. For example, take Daryl "Shawn" Kabatoff. For the last few years, he's methodically gathered "statistics" from various sources, ranging from local newspaper obituary pages to the food court of the Saskatoon Midtown Plaza mall. With all the raw data he's collected, he's attempting to prove daily that our full names are in "mathematical harmony" with our birthdays. His rants normally focus on a single individual he's met or read about, starting with calculations related to their birthdate and full names, blending in whatever other personal information about their family members, spouses, birthplace, and career he's been able to glean. From there, it descends into a mix of numerology, religious zealotry, and personal torment. I've never seen anything like it. With all the prime numbers, Fibonacci sequences and biblical references, it's like reading the notebooks of Maximillian Cohen and John Nash combined. Unsurprisingly, several posts unfold to reveal a history of painful mental illness. If you have some time, take a look. I've detailed his posting history and a several sample posts below. Usenet Posting History: January 27, 1999 to July 5, 2000 as December 9, 2000 to May 4, 2001 as Oct 30, 2001 to Oct 31, 2001 as January 20, 2002 to April 17, 2002 as (original posts have been removed from Google Groups archive) April 26, 2002 to Present as Selected Posts: Tessa Lynne Smith Dastageer Sakhizai and Helen Smith Brett David Maki Andrew Meredith Cotton Kathryn Lee Hipperson Amanda Dawn Newton Mona Marie Etcheverry Tony Peter Nuspl Lisa Charlene McMillan Grant Allyn Wood Comments scarier still is that saskatoon is my hometown, though not my current residence. and every single place he's mentioned in his posts (most notably nervous harold's and the roastary) were either places i've been (as it's a small city of 200K) or hangouts, ie. the two places mentioned. chances are i could email some friends back home and find out if they know of him, they (my friends that is) being of the broadway-centred slacker ilk. myself, too, until i got out of there. eh, anyways. thought it odd to see all this. midtown mall. i ate my meals there, whilst waiting several days in line for star wars episode one, at the theatre across the street. posted by andy raad on May 22, 2002 06:20 PM Fascinating. It's like he's trying to take chaos and bind it into whatever rules he can find, religious, logical and otherwise. Numbers and math have a reliable pattern, something that can always be proven to true or false. People and religion do not. It reminds me of Darren Aronofsky's movie Pi. It's the story of an paraniod genius who is trying to find a pattern in Pi. A group that takes interest in his work is convinced that the existence of Pi, a number whose existence can be proven but no quantified, is proof of the existence of God. Kabatoff's hunt for patterns in something as random as name selection is a way to reconcile his deeply logical thought process with his conflicting religious views. posted by matt on May 23, 2002 11:19 AM Exactly. I probably shouldn't have, but I e-mailed Daryl yesterday, asking him if he'd be willing to create a numerological analysis for me. I also asked him if he had seen either Pi or A Beautiful Mind, and what he thought of them. If he replies, I'll be sure to post it. posted by Andy Baio on May 23, 2002 11:24 AM I baked many pumpkin pies for Shawn (he likes pumpkin pies). I rubbed pumpkin pie all over my breasts for him, and my breasts turned orange. I am a pumpkin for Shawn. posted by Trisha Blondie on July 24, 2002 10:41 PM Um, that's swell. So, you're in love with him? posted by Andy Baio on July 25, 2002 07:10 AM Shawn once went to a funeral for a Jehovah Witness that shot himself and the lemon tarts were very bad, they were not only sour but were rubbery as well. Shawn said that the guy was some kind of Jehovah Witness prophet, he saw in advance that the lemon tarts at his funeral were to be very very bad, and so he shot himself. Shawn said that he never ate pumpkin pie at a funeral but would like to some day. Shawn likes pumpkin pie and so I have been practicing to make very good pumpkin pies. posted by Trisha Blondie on July 25, 2002 02:49 PM Shawn said that the lemon tarts were sour, bitter and rubbery. posted by Trisha Blondie on July 30, 2002 12:32 AM I don't think this guy takes notes. I think he has Total Recall, and it has driven him insane... posted by Todd Smith on December 26, 2002 11:00 AM Oh... I almost forgot... I didnt spend thousands of dollars a day tormenting Daryl... We got a deal on tormenting that fiscal year, it only came to about 37cents a day.... posted by Dr Claw on December 30, 2002 01:56 AM Mr. Kabatoff attempts to portray himself as a victim, but in fact he is a violent predatory pedophile who is well known to his local law enforcement. In his post to multiple newsgroups with the subject "Collecting Mail For The Coming Anti-Christ", he encourages mothers to send him photos of their naked daughters. Mr Kabatoff explains, "I personally did not want photographs being mailed to (the coming Ant-Christ) that were of underage children unless the parent was signing consent." He is banned from virtually all the shopping malls in his community because he stalks young people and sexually harasses them. He has an extensive arrest record which includes sexual molestation charges. He's been hospitalized in mental institutions several times because he likes to accost "nubile cuties." He writes about his contact with young girls in many posts. Search newsgroup archives for posts by him containing the word "nubile". As part of his harrassment, he provides personal details in a public forum, such as the real names of real children, in these and other posts. About one girl he met at a mall, he writes, "I wanted Callie in my bed or I wanted her and her sister dead." http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Da....dfncis.de&rnu He not only curses children and prays for their death in his posts, he also enjoys attending the funerals of young people: "And so, since nubile sweeties are found in greatest abundance at the funerals of high school students, then it is the funerals of high school students that make the very very best funerals, especially if there is food... I stuff my face (and my pockets) with all the good food and look at all the pretty nubile sweeties and have the time of my life.. ..http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Da...le+sex&hl=en&l r=&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d&selm=LfXN8.63042%24R53.25142039%40twis ter.socal.rr. com&rnum=1 Many of his posts are sent to alt.teens.advice. However, he liberally spams, floods and crossposts his off-topic threatening and offensive missives to countless newsgroups. Some people HAVE problems and some folks ARE problems. Don't dismiss Mr. Kabatoff as a harmless nut. When he sends these posts to any newgroup, please help by reporting him to his ISP. Thanks. posted by nospam on January 5, 2003 04:39 AM I knew of him when I was attending the University of Saskatchewan. He'd hang out in the Arts computer lab and all you'd see is screens of numbers racing by on his laptop. I have an original copy of his "Collecting Mail for the Coming Anti-Christ" pamphlet, and have seen him be hauled away by campus security on more than one occasion. My friends and I refer to him as "Crazy Number Man". posted by Mr. Somebody on April 10, 2003 11:09 AM I've been posting to (and about) Shawn for over two years with big gaps in between. He has seen Pi and didn't like it and didn't think it resembled him at all. (Wrong, it fits him to a tee) He doesn't have total recall and has stated that he travels with a lap top to notate items. Also, he uses "cut n' paste" a lot if you read all the way through his ramblings. He is anti-social as shown by his angry statements towards those who, by his own admission, have been kind (but not kind enough) to him. Still, he's intelligent and seems to be able to "take a joke" on occassion. That's where I came in. posted by Gambol on May 19, 2003 02:22 ALOHA Reply to group (Unsolicited e-mail is deleted from the server unread if it comes from anyone not already in my addressbook.

Loaches are a good snail eater. Clown Loaches and tiger loaches (Botia striata)---there are tons of others species as well. I'd really recommend Clown Loaches - I have 5 in my tank and they are great to watch. It's been a long time since I've found a live snail anywhere in my tank. |

I like my snails :-/ and very little damage to my plants. I like my snails too. Frankly, I find them about as interesting as the fish and the plants. And I don't know how wise this is, but I've used my snails in the same way a miner would use a canary in a mine shaft. When snails start disappearing, somethings amok. Thankfully I've never experienced a massive drop in snail population. It stays consistent. I've got ramshorns and Malaysian Trumpets as well, both species came as ride-alongs with plants I purchased a long, long time ago. I'd guess I have about 8-10 years worth of snails...and it's sometimes a pain to get the shells off the gravel, but in the long run it's just another part of the hobby I've come to terms with. I've got apple snails, ramshorns and Malaysian Trumpet Snails in a small tank, while I'm waiting for my 42 us gallon to cycle. and a random snail in the large tank that hitched in on a plant and is now living through horrendous fishless cycling conditions in the tank (ammonia now 0, nitrite 5.0 (max test will read)) I had a mystery snail in the tank I named "Big Ed the Enforcer"...unfortunatley there wasn't enough to go around for everyone and Big Ed bit the big one...the ramshorn mafioso took out a hit on him. Don't think I could bring myself to kill a snail, even if it were doing damage (however having a fish that would is another matter, but at least then it's food). I really am a wuss. Me either. Fact is I regard the life that lives in my tank as guests and try to treat them with the same respect as say..Aunty Mona. :O) I've noticed that the cory's try to pick the snails out of the shells with little success, but good comedy anyway. I don't think I'd feed them to Aunty Mona either. Cheers! Pete aka Maqua |
