Follow this logic with me if you can Tony. Steve claims to be a sysop. If
he is a sysop, then he has experienced the 'review' process by either going
through a 'review' or not having to be subjected to a 'review.' Therefore,
he wouldn't need to be briefed by AOL/CS to tell us about the process
because he would have experienced one himself. [Not experiencing a 'review'
would be the experience of a non-'review', which CompuServe parents would
want to know about.]

As for the NDA, no one is under any legal obligation to tell me about the
review process, or lack thereof, but what would CompuServe be hiding, unless
there is no 'review' process for sysops. With all of this cloak and
dagger-like behavior around these simple questions, it makes me think that
CompuServe has something to hide.

Are little kids at risk from unsupervised and unscreened volunteers on
CompuServe forums?

Steve *is* a sysop. (There are probably people who work for
CompuServe who wish it were otherwise.) As I said in my other
message, the process by which I became a sysop and the process by
which I have asked others to be sysops in forums that I manager is
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

In any case, different standards would apply for those who answer 50
questions a day on "how do I do xxx with CS2000" than those who would
work in a forum aimed at teens or pre-teens. I stick with the tech
support areas.

As for "but what would CompuServe be hiding", that's a cheap
TV-courtroom-drama trick. Ah ha! You won't say what you did, so you
must have done something bad! Sorry, Mark, but we didn't just fall
off the turnip truck.

Break will be over on Monday and you need to get back to work.

I agree with your views on parenting but Martin, here's the deal.
CompuServe markets itself as a family friendly community. There is an
illusion of special safety through CompuServe protection, which CompuServe
and AOL go through great measures to create. However, it has become
apparent that CompuServe allows sysops to work on its forums and supervise
children without being submitted through the smallest review process.

CompuServe members should at least be annoyed, if not outraged.

I used to have CompuServe until the day that I threatened the Bill Clinton's
life in the Republican forum. My account was terminated in 2 hours, and the
Secret Service came a month later, trust me, the moderator peoples are very
strict and are not at apt to take shit from anybody.

All republican cloaks of anonymity must be approved by a
constitutional amendment amending the freedom of expression by
expressly providing the legal means necessary to circumvent the
circumvention of all republican laws circumventing the circular use of
the first amendment.

one of the only good things of being your own isp is that you get to post
whatever and whenever you like... and say what you want without being scared
of AOLiens coming after you. I also find being in an obscure region of the
UK hampers the US Secret Service's effect on you.

Except if you send unsolicited bulk email or host indecent material or
material that violates applicable proprietary rights laws (hereinafter
"spam, porn, or warez"), you might get TOSsed by your upstream provider.

Well, kind of. The upstream provider would probably stop propagating
the posts, or some kind of UDP would be implemented. The spammer isn't
going to lose his network (unless the Government acts).

MCI and AT&T can both make such a claim. AOL, however, primarily uses
MCI for upstream.

You have shown yourself to be someone willing to post interviews with a KKK
grand-whatever ....


You have *never once* shown any citation about your libelous claim of
pedophiles being CS sysops ...


Contract holders go through full vetting, and they, in turn, get such things
as addresses etc. from their aides -- who have *no* special authority over
CS members ... indeed, a pedophile would be *much* better off buying a
domain name and calling himself "liberator.net" or the like .... where he
could post interviews with KKK leaders and ask nubile girls to send in
their pictures ...

AOL gave up their backbone in a deal with Worldcom. Worldcom swallowed
up CompuServe, then in a trade with AOL, gave them CS's costumer base
while receiving CS's *and* AOL's backbone. Part of the deal is that
they will provide AOL's access to the Internet, such as it is. MCI,
for those who don't know it, is owned by Worldcom.

A lose-lose situation for users.

Lose: AOL loses backbone.
Lose: CompuServe loses modems to AOL.

You are being inaccurate Dave. My claim is that CompuServe allows its
subcontractors to mismanage forums by allowing sysops to supervise there
without going through the smallest review process. Get it right if you are
going to debate this point accurately.

that it has a racial connotation. Why choose that word and not another?

cracker or any other name they come up with.

Karadimos: So you're saying that if someone is offended, they should look it
up in the dictionary to find that it's not an uncomplimentary term.

Berry: No it's not. It's like you calling me Caucasian. Is that supposed to
offend me?

Karadimos: I see your point but minorities are offended by it because it has

You are being inaccurate Dave. My claim is that CompuServe allows its


subcontractors to mismanage forums by allowing sysops to supervise there
without going through the smallest review process. Get it right if you are
going to debate this point accurately.

Can you respond to this post or does CompuServe have something to hide? I

I would be just as happy if you disappeared by action of your own ISP,

You cast aspersions without *any* basis in fact.

You commit numerous libels, elide messages in order to *prove*(sic) that you

meanwhile, I have not yet heard word one from you about the following on
your website ...


"Karadimos: I think the problem that people may have with the term nigger is
that it has a racial connotation. Why choose that word and not another?

Berry: If you look it up in a dictionary it means a person of Black descent

I am in no way playing cleanup for Dave. Simply joining in on the
discussion and enjoying it a great deal. I know that Dave will be
responding with further response, but probably not so much as to
answer your questions as that is not our place to do so. You are
asking the wrong people for the answers you seek. Just as you led a
woman to this forum for answers from CompuServe, you too are seeking
information that those that frequent this group are not able to
provide. Whether that is because of one reason or another, you are
asking the wrong people.
