The suspected sock template does not summon checkusers and nor should it. You should either send a request to a checkuser vie email, or use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SPI ... the process is much faster then it used to be. (SPI is the replacement for RFCU and SSP).
Contacting the arbcom though is probably the most prudent course of action, and arbcom will take care of getting cu's involved and like.

What was I thinking? You can contact abuse@googlemail.com about your problem without bothering a checkuser. You could also be sly and solicit a response from him via direct e-mail, by replying to him with direct e-mail. IOW, lie about your password. That might let you reach his ISP about hacking potential. In the event that the problem does not go away at source, then putting a suspected sockpuppet template on his front page will summon a checkuser to find another reason to block him, and I do not think you need another reason. I think Mister Lau on wikipedia review will second you if you need that.

The headers indicate it was sent through the 'email this user feature': my mailhost received it directly from wikimedia.org.

indicates the account was created May 10, although it doesn't seem to have done anything after creation.

"> Unless you count this -CC- to someone else</a>. In other words, this user has nothing to lose but a gmail account, or so they think. googlemail tracks ISPs. An ISP might even be in the received headers. It is best that the complaint come from her and in her own words. _______ <a href="http://ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/finance/Manual_Spam_Control.htmhttp://ecn.ab.ca/%7Ebrewhaha/finance/Manual_Spam_Control.htm
