Sorry, friends, for bothering you with this, But here's
somebody, possibly christian carpenter (gip...@aol.com)
again, who's using my own e-mail address to send
nasty e-mails to me. (See another e-mail below).

I looked up the meaning of the word "spamming", and
found out that my Nepali-related postings on SCN
are anything BUT acts of spamming. Supportive letters
from a number of cyber-friends on SCN have also well
indicated that I do anything but spam the SCN.

So, I really do NOT know what the purpose of this
particular harraser is. S/he complains about the
purported "waste of bandwith" (as though s/he
is personally paying for it) -- but if one can't talk
about Nepal as much as one wants on SCN, then which
usenet group is one to go to?

I know well that NO ONE owns the Internet; but
one can, like ud...@writme.com, use the net to track
down people who harrass others. I have also send a
note to the Harvard admin about this, saying that complaints
about my spamming the net are baseless, and should be checked
in light of letters of support on the Net.

This is the LAST thing I'm going to post about this for now.

What follows was sent to me (the real Ashutosh Tiwari)
by someone using the bounce-to technique, using my OWN
name and e-mail address. In other words, I did NOT send this
to myself, but someone sent this to me.

Oh, the world we live in . . . :-)

Subject: oh come on

When you spam the usenet you don't have a problem but when others respond
you want to threaten with your system administrator bit. Come on you cry
baby believe it or not, not even Harvard owns the internet. Surprise! But I
did do you a favor and send a complaint to the Harvard system admin. since
you are spamming the usenet. So stop threatening people and take it easy
and stop crying.

In Universities where usenet (news group reading and posting) services
are offered to every computer connected to the usenet provider,
anyone can post with any fake name and addresses. The only thing
you can find the real address is IP address. Sometime, even
X-IP Address: can also be switched off. So, unless you provide
the complete route, its difficult to track the sender. In the
present case also, the FAKE TIWARI need not be in Harvard Campus,
he might be using computers anywhere around the world. But, he
knows the weakness of usenet posting service. Its a sad point.
But, I am very much sure that the SCNer are clever enough to
identify/distinguish the real Ashutosh Tiwari and the fake one.
He can use your mask, but, he can not copy human brain. Your
quality writing and his disgusting posting will make a great
difference. Ashu, please keep on writing your thoughts. We
are here to read them. You are simply, THE ASHU. You have
not only posted your own thoughts, but also, you have more importantly
become a bridge to pass the important articles published in
Nepal to publish in SCN.

Meanwhile, I was shocked after knowing your health situation, take care
of your health first, then, share your valuable time with SCNers.

Regards.

snehii,
