Idiot.

Eternal September, and so, so many more, free Usenet services are out there.

And then there are decent paid ones like News.Individual.Net, for 10
Euros a year all the text newfroups you want!

But you won't be missed. When you were trippin' balls and making up
shit about figure skaters you were at least slightly entertaining, but
since you shoved your head up Trump's arsehole you became just another
luser.

Cheers,
Gary B-)

All the years I did figure skating coverage I will always remember

I will always remember shouting it LOUD AND PROUD into the mic in 1998 when saying that Tara was the first American in 22 YEARS to win the ladies Olympic skating title

Since this was the first time I have posted here since July 29 it looks like Jeannie got bored and went away since she has not responded to my latest post

Anyway, after almost 37 years on Usenet, especially anonymous posting through thing like vons, num servers, cyberpunk, Tor and more, i will be sad to see the last truly anonymous posting method go away

Googje groups is the last VPN friendly Usenet system there is

I remember firung the CDA fight in 1995 when someone from.rhe family research council blamed my e zime oof the time, hatchet Jones b, for Nicole only finishing third at 1994 workday because of our anti CDA posts.

They had point, first in qualifying and the short,but only fourth in the long fir an overall.bronze medal?

There was something very fishy going on, you gotta admit that', 29 years ago

For many years my station did do sports coverage all over the world.
We were popular in offices because we did everything to avoid being blocked or filtered. During Europeans there would be people in offices all over Europe tuned in.

Advertisers LOVED is because did EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to avoid being blocked of filtered.

One thing we did was block access to our network at the firewall level from all the major filtering vendors, so that their "spiders" could not classify my web page and filter it. A few network admins who used to hang around the computer security newsgroups did not like that, but there was not much they could do about it.

Providing the means to bypass filtering was 100 percent LEGAL so NO laws were broken when we did this.

Our belief was that there is NOTHING wrong with internet radio at WORK as long as your work is getting DONE.

The VPN we ran got a WORKOUT during March Madness when people in offices all over the country would be using our VPN to watch the games and the boss would never know.

We made the folks at Bob Jones University and Pensacola Christian College HOPPING MAD because students there used our VPN to bypass some of the most HARD ASS rules of any college. You were not supposed to watch any kind of broadcast TV or watch any movie with a rating higher than a G(Bob Jones) or PG(Pensacola Christian College) rating.

To all the pirate movie download sites that have existed, including Kazaa, Gnutella, MusicCity, and Napster, we did see a lot of connections from BJU and PCC to get music totally banned at both colleges, which includes rock, rap, country, jazz, and even "contemporary christian" music. or pretty much anything with a good beat to it.

That's a lie. You're a mentally ill lying kook.

> We were popular in offices

No, you weren't. You were never popular anywhere except in your stupid delusional fantasies.

You're a mentally ill lying kook.

> Advertisers

You had no advertisers. Advertisers don't bother with a non-existent fake "radio station"
run by a mentally ill lying kook.

> One thing we did

You did nothing except pretend to run a fake "radio station." You're a mentally ill liar.

> We made the folks at Bob Jones University and Pensacola Christian College

Nobody at those places ever listened to your fake pretend "radio station."

You're a lying mentally ill kook.

Quit lying. Fuck off. Drop dead.

The VPN we ran was. During march Madness it got a WORKOUT

People used it to watch the games from work and the boss never knowing what happened

because the connection was encrypted there was no way to see what was happening

I figured out why Jeannie does not respond

Shr can't, at least from a desktop

The captcha dies not have the continue button on desktops after clicking I am a human

It is there i in phones but not desktops

Since Google groups is what she uses she cannot respond unless she uses her phone

You haven't figured out anything, kook.

You can't even figure out that you're a mentally ill trolling kook.

You are Cuckie and you're mentally ill.
