		Because of the name of his host, Serdar Argic became known as the Zumabot.
		The Serdar Argic posts suddenly disappeared in April, 1994, after Stefan Chakerian created a specific newsgroup (additional info and facts about newsgroup) (alt.cancel.bots) to carry only cancel messages specifically for any post from any machine downstream from the "anatolia" UUNET (additional info and facts about UUNET) feed which carried Serdar Argic's messages.

	Talk:Serdar Argic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I was around on Usenet in the early 1990s and it was pretty obvious to me that the original "Serdar Argic" was one and the same as "Hasan Mutlu", who fought a running battle with the Armenian "David Davidian" in most newsgroups simultaneously.
		Ahmed Corsar may have adopted the Serdar Argic label later, but for a while Mutlu and Corsar were both posting.
		Serdar Argic is referred to in the novel "Accelerando" by Charles Stross.

	Joel Furr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was part of the Usenet cabal, pretender to the throne of James "Kibo" Parry, and the bitter enemy of Serdar Argic.
		One reason for Furr's fame on Usenet was his self-appointed leadership over the alt hierarchy, where any user could create a newsgroup without any official vote or sanction by the user community.
		Furr created an amusing line of Usenet kook T-shirts, which included the Robert E McElwaine shirt and the Serdar Argic World Tour shirt.

	The Zumabot's Tale
		Serdar responded to, seemingly, every and any Usenet post he could find that mentioned Turkey or Armenia, even in newsgroups that had nothing to do with either country.
		For another, Argic did not appear to distinguish between the nation and the bird: posts containing references to Thanksgiving turkey were as likely to become targets as posts discussing Turkey's foreign policy.
		Over time, a consensus built: Serdar Argic was not a person, but a computer program which scanned the news articles and responded to any article that contained certain words, plugging in the name of the article's writer ("John Sugaharo's criminal Armenian grandparents") and other random phrases.

		Having taken a look at the Serdar Argic article, I note that you twice insisted on qualifying "Armenian Genocide" as "alleged", and when both of those changes were reverted, you blanked the article.
		The reasons you gave for this change was that without the word "alleged" the article was POV -- only this assertion, with no proof or evidence either at the Talk page for this article, nor at [[Talk:Armenian Genocide]].
		And from the record, speaking as someone who is entirely disinterested in the matter (I didn't even know that there was an article on Serdar Argic until now), I find you have failed to be convincing.

		Argic passionately believed that the Armenians had massacred millions of Turks in the early part of thiscentury and that it was his duty to get the word out.
		According to one theory, Argic was actually a program that read the Usenet news feed and watched certain newsgroups for keywords such as Turkey or Armenia.
		As proof of this theory, ArgicBot watchers cite that on one occasion, Serdar Argic responded to a post that had no mention of anything related to Turkey or Armenia, except for the phrase turkey casserole inserted in the three-line signature file used by Usenet posters to identify themselves.

		Serdar Argic, is apparently an artificial intelligence program (AI) which monitors the various public usenet newsgroups, especially those dealing with history, social history, and culture of the eastern Mediterranean.
		He/they/it seems to be a major project in historical revisionism which would like to `prove' that, at the turn of the century, it was not a million and a half Armenians who were massacred by Turks, but rather, at least that many Turks who were massacred by Armenians.
		A post from another Turk who is thoroughly offended by Hasan has pointed out numerous inconsistencies in Hasan's citations (which are incredibly well- `documented', or so it seems) and has noted similarilties between the subject matter of the posts to the various newsgroups and with propagandistic broadcasts by Turkish radio.

	The Battle for Usenet
		Serdar Argic wouldn't just search for "Turkey", he would use a script that would suck information out of the article containing the word "Turkey" and plug it into a canned response.
		Whatever automatic reply program Argic was using wasn't terribly sophisticated; it would auto-reply to articles about turkey, the bird, as well as about Turkey, the nation.
		Just as the Serdar Argic controversy was dying down, a more ominous threat to Usenet's integrity appeared.

		It is claimed that Cosar and his entity, the `Argic' robot, constantly ignore the free speech rights of others, trashing their postings, issuing false cancels, threatening them and generally attempting to use illegal or underhand methods to harass them off the nets.
		Argic is distinctive by the sheer volue of material it posts.
		The Argic entity is unusual in that it never obeys netiquette, it never replies or heeds email or pressures, it never stops and it is wholly hostile and unpleasant in tone.

		The name "Serdar Argic" is probably an alias for Ahmet Cosar, a rabid Turkish nationalist who is affiliated in some way with the University of Minnnesota.
		Many people feel that "Serdar" is actually an automatic posting program (a robot- poster or BOT which posts from sera@zuma.UUCP - hence the name ZUMABOT) that text-searches (greps) all newsgroups for the words "Armenian" or "Turkey" and unleashes a stream of messages.

		Serdar Argic purports to be a person of Turkish heritage, whose mission in life is to set the record straight with respect to Turkish historical events.
		Argic's method is to post vast quantities of material scanned in from the books of supposedly reputable historians accompanied by jargon-laden political polemics.
		Many have believed that Serdar Argic is really a collective of individuals who have been able to develop tactics to defeat the Internet posting rules and thus render it almost impossible to discover the source of the messages.

		Argic was infamous for scanning the newsgroups for the string "Turkey", and responding with polemics about the Turkish slaughter of Armenians.
		Canter and Siegel were the "green card lawyers"...not the first to spam the Internet, but probably the first to become world-infamous for it, and the first to pioneer complete non-repentance for the deed.
		You're forgetting that Internet time is measured in dog years.

	[2000: December] Re: Professor Lupher's barb
		Back when the hottest thing on the internet was Usenet newsgroups, he would post enormous spam messages with bogus scholarship, hundreds of lines of invented quotes, etc. Like James Parry's Kibo, he maintained an automated surveillance of a broad range of newsgroups, and pounced whenever any target term appeared in a posting, for whatever reason.
		In Serdar's case, the target terms were "Turkey" and "Armenia" (in whatever context, including Thanksgiving meals) and his "replies" purported to show that during WWI the Armenians murdered 2.5 million non-Armenian Turks [sic].
		Serdar Argic was highly, possibly completely, automated, so that a reasonable or considerate person had no chance of competing with the quantity of his or its argument, despite its poor quality.

		In my opinion, it is virtually certain that Cosar is Mutlu and Argic, and that he is alone in his "Kampf." He did not mention any supporting organizations or confederates, and all the people I spoke to while trying to track down Mr.
		He spends most of his time countering Argic's posts and attempting to prove that Argic is paid by the Turkish government.
		According to Argic: "April 23" == Beginning of the Armenian genocide of the entire Muslim population of Van.

		Came in first in the recent (5/94) vote for most evil net.personality, beating Kibo by 192 votes (and Argic by 227); consensus seems to be that this is due to his vote-trolling abilities rather than any residuum or effluent of pure unrelenting evil.
