Doug Bollen appeared sporadically on various newsgroups over a period of years, leading eventually to his inclusion in the demon.service faq thus:

1.1.15 The Noid (Doug Bollen)

Another of Demon's home-grown net-loons, the Noid is a prolific poster of complete gibberish to many diverse newsgroups and shows only a       tenuous grasp of logic or reality. He has previously posted as       par@noid.d.c.u.

He has an uncanny ability to sniff out cabals, which he vigorously opposes. The only problem being that his ability operates in reverse - he sees cabals everywhere *except* where they actually exist. On the one hand, he is irresistably drawn into participating in the cross-posted trolls instigated by the uk.miscreants but denies that there is any organized group behind the trolls. On the other hand, in       his latest outburst of inanity, he identified all those names listed in section 1 of this very FAQ (fuckwits and anti-fuckwits alike) as       being the "demon.service cabal".

Opinion is divided as to whether he is a paranoid schizophrenic with no firm hold on reality or merely somebody who enjoys, and is good at, trolling. Many suspect that both opinions are true.

Duhg has not been around by name for a little while, but there are strong suspicions that occasional troll Mr Natural is his sock-puppet. Here is what to do whgen you encouter a post from someone you suspect may be Duhg, or indeed Mr Natural: ignore it. Experience indicates that responding is a waste of bandwidth.

It is said that he currently infests uk.tosspot.
