Tim Pierce is a Boston-area software engineer and former Usenetter known in that medium for moderating rec.arts.erotica ([1]) and ambushing alt.*-group proposers on alt.config ([2]) with repetitive objections to new "alt."-group proposals. Pierce followed up his objections by removing alt-group newgroups that had previously gone unmentioned on alt.config. These activities have caused him to be designated ([3]) as a Net legend alongside with Joel Furr, in the category of Lesser Lights.
