I do not buy into the idea or notion that this occurred because of a
misconfiguration or a miscommunication error, not at all, this was very
deliberate. There should be consequence's for such action & behavior.

Exploitation was his goal at every angle, his handle - Vauge. 
I also went to the nodelist, I found nothing. 
Could it be that these massages were gated to the newsgroups and then back
into Fidonet. Policy 4 rules Fidonet, but is there a provision within policy
to account for what Mr. Duff was able to pull off and additionally would he
or could he be held accountable for a explanation of his previous antics?

Now that Mr. Duff has a fully fledged node in Fidonet wouldn't it seem
logical and appropriate to reach out to his NC to see if they could shed any
light as to what happened?
