This is (in my opinion) the wrong way to deal this.  There are several
Newsgroups in which Robert participates that should also be made aware
of his "PR" posts.  If we were to flood those groups with the same
garbage he distributes here, then I believe he'll cave in to the
resulting bad publicity.  Posting flames hasn't worked.  Posting his
history on Usenet hasn't worked.  Hitting him where he lives and showing
him up for the self-serving, egocentric prig he is will be far more
effective.  For what it's worth I intend to post every "PR" message he
makes here to CHA.  I hope the rest of you who care about making this
Group all that it can be will follow suit.
