There were at least three copies, one of them massively crossposted,
plus I reposted it to alt.activism where people might actually be
interested in it. 

I've sent notes to John (the original poster) before recommending that he
be more careful about his selection of groups but have never received
any acknowledgement. The real shame here is that by playing loose with
the USENET conventions, John's very valuable and interesting postings
are generating as much ill will towards his cause as they are good.
