Today I received over 1000 bounced emails. Arno R and his goons are sending
mass emails with my email address to fictitious addresses and they are
bouncing back to my inbox. DO NOT tell me this could be a virus because it
has been verified that IT IS NOT!! I have also been receiving other unwanted
email at my office from Arno R and other forms of harassment at my office
from Arno R and his goons.
I will begin posting full page advertisements in the newsgroups unless all
the following is done immediately:
1. Arno R and his goons stop sending fictitious emails with my email
address
2. Arno R stops sending emails to my office
3. Arno R and his goons stop all other forms of harassment at my office
4. The slanderous website about me is shutdown permanently
5. All tracking of my posts to the newsgroups stops immediately
6. All subversive responses to my posts to the newsgroups stops immediately
You all have supported, promoted and encouraged Arno R and his goons long
enough.
IF YOU THINK THIS IS A BIG JOKE, YOU DON'T CARE A DAMN ABOUT THE
NEWSGROUPS!!!
IF YOU THINK I AM KIDDING, DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT ARNO R AND HIS GOONS AND
YOU WILL BEGIN SEEING LOTS OF ADVERTISING!!!!
Any subversive responses to this post will be taken as a green light to
begin posting full page advertising.

I would never agree with and I am not aware of any of this behavior that
your are blaming on others. I have never seen any kind of proof and find it
a little difficult to believe that anyone would take the time or effort to
do this to you.
If your behavior went beyond your normal advertising, I would expect several
others to take additional measures to convince you to use news groups only
as they were intended.

"Subversive"? It's amusing that you have such an overblown view of your
own importance so as to call something "subversive". Must we now ask
your permission or clear your committee of "UnStevelike usenet behaviour"?
Wow, I've seen some self-important usenet loons before, but this is
ridiculous.
Nevertheless, I think email bombing is not a good thing to do,
regardless of whether or not you morally deserve it. Whoever is
involved, SHOULD STOP and it you would be advised to get some of the
headers and make appropriate complaints to ISPs.
Your threat, by the way, is typical of that of a psychotically abusive
spouse - "if I can't have things my way, I'll just destroy you and
everything around". The results of which all of us, all over the world,
see sad news stories on all too frequently. You should really examine
your reaction to this.

It should also be pointed out that Earthlink, Steve's ISP, or the means
by which he posts to usenet, has the following policy on usenet, found
under "Acceptable Use" at http://www.earthlink.net/about/policies/use/
"m.News. EarthLink Members should use their best judgment when posting
to any newsgroup. Many groups have charters, published guidelines, FAQs,
or "community standards" describing what is and is not considered
appropriate. Usenet can be a valuable resource if used properly. The
continued posting of off-topic articles is prohibited. Commercial
advertisements are off-topic in most newsgroups, especially regional
groups not specifically named for such. The presence of such articles in
a group is not indicative of the group's "intended" use. Please
familiarize yourself with basic Usenet netiquette before posting to a
newsgroup."
If you do feel Steve is violating the newsgroup charter, then forward
the full headers of the offending post to ab...@earthlink.net. Most
ISPs will be unable to do anything without the full headers, and most
will ignore any email complaint which includes the offending post as an
attachment. Send it in line.
The usual and civilized method of complaining about a poster's behaviour
is to first admonish him publicaly or privately, and, if that fails,
then complain to the ISP. I think the first part of the above process
has been done exhaustively.
Sorry about all the fuss. I've remonstrated with all the goons about
messing with your e-mail and they promised never to do so in the
future.
Just in case they want to get in touch with you for legitimate purposes
though, I taught them how to send free anonymous faxes to your fax
number.
So, you see, something has been done and you can just calm down now and
get a great night's sleep.
Hope this helps!

Yep, and this was after your posts a few months ago that said to the
effect that some of PC's posts/responces were misleading because the person
would not know that for more extensive help there would be a charge for it.
I thought this was a bogus and still do, people can figure that out for
themselves.
Just like the links that others have supplied to their webstsites,
people will know that for more extensive help there will be a price. For
example: I have not yet seen a comment from you about Kevin Hill of 3NF
Consulting. Do you really think that anybody that goes to the "Newsgroups"
(that is not a newsgroup listing) page think that any furthur help is free.
One link on there is only emil, but the other is for phone support at 1.39
per minute, and of course they can go to the menu items for services,
pricing, etc.

IF this fairy-tale about emails-to-the-office is at all true, I guess it is only you who gave somebody an idea??
Remember: Even yesterday I asked you to show me ONE unwanted email...
But IF it is true, it is *not me* buddy, and none of my so-called goons AFAIK.
I am convinced that we are too much civilized to do so.

From your headers, you used Outlook Express to post your message 8)
I'm afraid I don't know how to set Outlook to display full headers as I
use Netscape. Perhaps somebody else can help you out, sorry 8(
For example, full headers on your last post would be (don't worry this
is publicly available - it's just that most folks turn off "full
headers" for routine browsing):

Personally, I'm a bit unclear about whether I count as a goon or not. What
are the qualifications necessary and is there any kind of certification
required?
You need to get a dictionary. Considering the amount of libelous things you
have posted, I thought you would at least know the
difference between slander and libel. Considering the webpage in question
also includes links to copies of newsgroup posts as
proof of the allegations, I can not see how you can claim the statements as
being false.
John... Visio MVP
I'm pretty sure I'm a dimwit but maybe I can be both?
Check out the requirements to be a goon at
www.spamPCDatasheet.org/membership/goons.html
The certification exam will be held on the 2nd day of the 2006
Conference so that we can have them scored in time for the closing
ceremonies. The Deadline to apply is this Friday.
Whoa! That's not funny. I don't know anything about sending any spam mail
to anyone, nor anything about a conference call. I know absolutely nothing
about the spam mail that Datasheet claims to have gotten. I don't know why
you would suggest otherwise.

I am not Duane and I do my dead-level best not to be a "jerk", but I did as
you asked, Steve, from the quote right in your post. Here's what I saw:
>> A Christian Response
>> http://www.pastornet.net.au/response
That doesn't look to me as if that is "advertising"... it is a perfectly
acceptable two-line SIG with a link to a website (that would have fit on a
single line, for that matter), and, does not appear to be promoting or
selling any goods or services.
If the site is doing so, it is your option to not click through, or to leave
if you don't like it, unlike your advertising which is there in the
newsgroup with every post. I be willing to wager that if you had only posted
a SIG containing just the name of your PC Datasheet site and the hyperlink,
people wouldn't be complaining about your advertising.
Not having a connection to Access does _not_ make it _advertising_, though
you might make a case for it being _off-topic_. If you find it so off-topic
and egregious that it offends you, I suggest you complain to his news
server. It does not offend me, so I am not going to do so.
Larry Linson
I couldn't say about that, but there is an address to report abuse shown in
the headers of Steve's posts. You'll need to view and copy the headers in
order to complain, anyway.

Lyle,
Not knowing nor assuming what "A Christian Response" might be, I am/was not
offended.
That is just as I stated to Steve -- if someone includes a link in a post,
no one is obligated to follow the link to see what's there -- I didn't
follow that one. If Steve, for instance, included a link to "A Spammer's
Response", I wouldn't follow that one either.
Larry
Maybe I "just don't get it", as Steve keeps insisting, but I can't imagine
that anyone would object to the sig line that Bradley uses. I don't think
that many people would put that in the same category as the Datasheet
advertising.

Complain to my news server? They'd laugh at anyone complaining about it.
It's basically my homepage at the moment so if anyone has a problem with
it then I'd suggest they get over it:)
PCDatasheet, you are really struggling if you are trying to make an
issue of this.

It's a pretty lame attack. Best to ignore it.

I wish you people would learn that basic lesson -- ignore all of it,
including the advertisements.

Ditto.
I meant to convey something by overstatement. Obviously I didn't do a
good job or perhaps any job at all.
Having tried for the last twenty minutes to explain that something and
failed completely I will erase what I have written and just hope this
will silently fade away.

Completely off topic, but I think it's a very good web site. It's simple,
clear, and with the content clearly visible and easily accessible. And with
no fatuous, imbecilic flash animations/rollover graphics/blinking
text/information tickers/other b*llocks serving no useful purpose.
For reference, take a look at http://www.useit.com/alertbox/ - that's the
site of Jakob Neilsen, the bloke who is pretty much the king of web
usability. A pretty similar design.
Well done.
