I note there are now apparently 2 Yazz Allen's posting to the Antioch  
lists.

So as far as I can tell David Roger Allen '66 has used the davidrogerallen at hotmail.com 
  address as far back as 10/05/02 as variations on the following names  
David Allen '66, David Roger Allen '66, Yazz Cudd '66, Yazz Allen '66  
and as of 02/11/08 a 'Yazz' Allen '92 claiming to be the son of Yazz  
Allen '66 has started posting.

David 'Yazz' Roger Allen '66 has also used and signed messages with davidallenusa at yahoo.com 
, YazzAllen at Yahoo.Com, doctoryazzcudd at yahoo.com all referencing the  
same year ('66) and an IMDB profile until this recent change to '92

in a recent message supposedly 'Yazz the younger' signed as:

Yazz (David) Allen '92, son of geezer David Roger Allen '66
(Yazz was famous at Antioch in 1992 for more body piercings and tatoos  
than other Antioch guys and girls of that era, and his signature  
Spikey hairdo which got him rejected on many co-op jobs)

It's been 16 years so it could be my memory but as a member of the  
class of '92 I don't recall a 'Yazz Allen' or a David Allen for that  
matter. Certainly don't recall one with 'more piercings and tattoos  
than other guys and girls of that era', but again might just be me. So  
Yazz '92, you walked in June '92? Did you go by another name? Did we  
know each other at all? Were you just a really hard to notice multiply  
tattooed person? Can you point any photos of yourself out in the  
Antioch 1992 yearbook?

I certainly recall the REAL Yazz, YAZZ ATLAS, who went by the name  
Yazz when he was at Antioch, who was indeed tattooed but was class of  
'97 not part of the class of '92. (He can be contacted yazz.atlas at gmail.com 
  or yazz at 230volts.net).

What's the deal 'Yazz' Allen? Who are you? '66? '92?

So I now quote the following:

" Antioch College Honor Code:
Antioch College is a community dedicated to the search for truth, the  
development of individual potential, and the pursuit of social  
justice. In order to fulfill our objectives, freedom must be matched  
by responsibility. As a member of the Antioch Community, I affirm that  
I will be honest and respectful in all my relationships, and I will  
advance these standards of behavior in others."

SO in an effort to 'advance these standards of behavior in others' I  
hereby 'call you out' and ask that you clarify who you are, or if  
there are two of you I ask that you use unique addresses and  
signatures so that those of us reading remotely can know who we are  
reading a message from.

What's going on? Stand and deliver.
