Since this post is in "Entertainment" and has the dreaded "post" icon, 99.9% chance it is pre-spam.

How much scarier is it that his originating host is barak-online?

That depends wolf, it's a global community in which people move around a lot. There are many Yanns in the world and a quick search turned up this one fitting the description of ours. If they are one and the same, he may simply be a prolific poster. If not, I'll go with UT's hunch that this is pre-spam. I suppose we could ask Yann if the following info represents him:

Divers web site Yann profile

Yann blog

This is just speculation mind you. If Yann isn't posting from Al Hadaba, Sharm El Sheikh, Sinaļ, Egypt [which may explain the barak-online hosting]; then, NEVERMIND.

Barak was an old-school Cellar (think 1991, 2400-baud dialup modems) user. He was a flaming black separatist (or at least he played one online) who was always ready (and willing and able) to turn any discussion into a racial one. (If anybody else who was around then thinks that characterization is unfair or incomplete, please, chime in.)

There is backstory regarding that name that you do not know, but which Steve has done an excellent job of relating.

While I recognize that it's a legitimate provider, I still thought that the association was funny.
