Hmm. Now I get a "403 Forbidden" when I try my book mark for
www.fleetnet.mb.ca ? Did the forces of MTS finally shut down the
site ?

Nope. I just don't allow access from MTS Sympatico Winnipeg Customers,
due to an extremely large asshole who chooses to abuse the message
board.

MTS has no problem with the site.

Ahem. That's a bit drastic, isn't it ? Oh well...time to fire up lynx at MWCS, I
guess. Always keep a shell account somewhere, is my motto.

Bill:

I'm sorry this causes you problems, but after dealing with this jerk for
over
a year now, and suffering property damage as well from him, I really can't
say I feel too bad blocking out his ISP.

The main reason I decided to block out MTS Sympatico, is because of the
"lame" way they have designed their network. You see, they use a "cache"
server that all dialup clients filter through, and this doesn't allow me to
report his abuse to Sympatico properly. (They claim their cache server
logs are too big to review)

I will email you with more info.

Wow! Now, I see there was a point in my yearly search through the
newsgroups. Nice site - thanks for the info.

Bill:

Thanks for the kind words. The site is a little out of date.. But
until I can find some time to work on it some more, I'll be adding
several more "automated" features that add content while I do
other things. (The trunkcom archive for example)

This just added this morning:

Happy New Year,
