Why so much hate for Frank Provasek?


Gary, is frank paying you per post? I supposed that would explain the
cross-posting. There's certainly no other explanation for it.

Let the newsgroup scroll proclaim that "Bob Peterson"
scribed upon its pages in
:



People seem to have forgotten that the first amendment (and the others
as well) have to do mostly with prohibitions on the conduct of
government, not on private individuals. It would seem to be a
legitimate case to argue if the government owned the ISP in question,
but since they don't they are free to run their business as they see
fit.


You're right in that; however, I would guess a lot of ISPs have
behavior standards more designed to keep them out of trouble with the law
than to comply with moral codes. Hence, with the removal of behavior
restrictions by the high court, many ISPs probably won't care one way or
the other about language, as long as it doesn't conflict with the current
court rulings. ISPs are in such a battle for the customer base I would
imagine few are willing to eliminate revenue for the sake of taking the
moral high ground.
It brings to mind years ago when shopping centers and dollar stores
here had big signs up in the windows saying "Closed On Sunday. The Day Is
Worth More Than The Dollar." Odd thing was, as soon as the state's "blue
laws" were revoked allowing sales of everything on Sunday, the signs came
down and, suddenly, the dollar was worth more than the day. Now
everybody's open on Sunday.

Why dont you **** a goat? If you dont like the language, get off of

usenet.


Why don't you show some civility and not use vulgar language. Is that the
only way a retard
like you can express itself?

Spam is BULK unsolicited commercial email.


Not anymore (if that ever was the case).

Under US law, spam is whatever your ISP says it is:

http://www.spamlaws.com/federal/108s877.html

"(c) NO EFFECT ON POLICIES OF PROVIDERS OF INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE-

Nothing in
this Act shall be construed to have any effect on the lawfulness or
unlawfulness, under any other provision of law, of the adoption,
implementation, or enforcement by a provider of Internet access service of

a
policy of declining to transmit, route, relay, handle, or store certain

types
of electronic mail messages."

Which is completely different from "spam is whatever the RECIPIENT says it
is"

As if his buddy Dorman weren't doing enough to keep these threads alive,

Frank
feels the need to dredge up a response I made 12 days ago and say:

I have won a number of Bill Yate's auctions, Phil. But again,
honesty is not your bag.


Let's see Frank, I said, "Bull....and I see Frank is back bidding in your
auctions without any success....but, that's the point, isn't it?"

Given that since your reinstatement you have bid in 6 of his auctions and

won
exactly 0, how was I being dishonest?

As far as past auctions go, Mr. Yates has received 2056 feedbacks dating

back
to March of 1998. Out of all of those feedbacks, exactly two were from
you....one from 4-1/2 months ago and another from about 18 months ago.

During that same period of time Mr. Yates has left 2377 feedbacks about

others.
Of those, exactly two were left for you....for the very same transactions.

Now, while "2" is a number, calling "2" wins in the 2-1/2 years that you

have
had your own account "a number of wins" might be considered stretching the
truth. Should I be questioning your honesty?

How many dozens (hundreds???) of his auctions did you have to bid in to

amass
those "2" wins?




You are being dishonest because you ASSume that the number of feedbacks
equals number
of transactions. Looking at my checkbook registry for 2003, I see 14 ebay
purchases from
Bill Yates.

Your definition of "dishonest" is about as accurate and relevant as your
definitions of "spam" and "shill".

Can I expect responses from Dorman and Yates? Your friends certainly aren't
helping your reputation.

Just say NO to counterfeits
