I'm sorry everyone
Trey Davis
Everyone including David Cox please accept my apology. I'm the one who was
the troll from the past few days, posting something like: "you cant do that
with access 2003."
This will not happen again, as I am now fearing for my life after the entire
thread started by David Cox: "Passing oneself off as an MVP?"
Again, please accept my sincere apology.
I WAS WRONG
Bill Mosca, MS Access MVP
You certainly have not made any friends here. In fact, your posts have
become targetted for removal. That may very well be just a first step.
Many MVPs including myself, have tried to guide you, answer your *real*
questions, and truth be known, have also tried to keep things professional
when it has been very tempting to be malicious towards you.
I don't understand why you picked a forum such as these to act in a very
immature way, but you have. I hope from now on you use this forum for what
it was intended and not as a personal "look at me" site.
Now let's start afresh.

address as the posting to which I am responding now. Some of these were
posted *after* you posted this one, and do not reflect in any way that you
are sorry about anything. Your "apology" is meaningless at best, and seems
more likely an attempt to be manipulative.

Take him out behind the woodshed. Microsoft should grant the MVP's the
right to bann people of this sort to keep the disussions on topics dealing
with Access. This type of behaviour should not be tolerated however, Some
kids, if you still ignore them don't have the common since to go away. Well,
at least the kid is improving his typing skills on a positive note. Take Care
Bill Mosca, MS Access MVP
I came to the same conclusion. This "apology" was posted to every
cotton-pickin' newsgroup. Then came more trolling 20 minutes later.
This troll's posts are a waste of electrons.

Since you posted so many offensive messages as "bad man" and Trey Davis this
morning *after* you posted this one, your sincerity is doubtful. I'm very
pleased to inform you that this can easily be fixed by doing all of the
following:
1) Open Outlook Explorer and right click on a message from "bad man" or Trey
Davis. Select Properties | Details and look at the message header:
From: "bad man" <bad...@hotmail.com>
References: <6205F978-9B2B-4F8D...@microsoft.com>

2) Copy the IP address for the NNTP-Posting-Host, 216.253.202.174, and paste
it into the text box on this web page:
http://www.melissadata.com/Lookups/iplocation.asp
3) Copy the ISP name and Google for it to find the company's web page.
Follow the link to the company's web site. Click on the city named as the IP
location to find the company's local office phone number and then scroll down
to find the "Contact Us" email address.
4) Send the following email and then call the company to let them know you
sent it:
Please forward this message to your company's HR office. One of your company
employees in the Oklahoma City/Broken Arrow area appears to be intoxicated at
work today, and appears to have been intoxicated on Monday and Thursday, too.
He has been busy every day this week harassing people, sending spam,
providing misinformation while impersonating a Microsoft-designated expert,
and using foul, offensive language, all by transmitting messages from your
company's network to thousands of news servers and web sites worldwide. Your
employee has gotten so carried away that one person suspects your employee
may be cyber-stalking him, mistaking him for some enemy. Since your company
is responsible for the actions of its employees, including his impersonation
of multiple officially-designated Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals, but
especially since his intoxication at work may pose a danger to himself or
others, I know you'll want to address this as soon as possible.
Your employee didn't give his full name, but he gave several clues as to his
identity. The young man's first name is probably Steve. He's been
broadcasting his hundreds of offensive and misleading messages from your
company's proxy server in the Oklahoma City area and started doing most of
his disruptive behavior beginning at about 2:30 PM Central Time on Monday and
Tuesday, which is probably after his boss had gone home for the day or was in
meetings and couldn't closely supervise 'Steve.' Since Wednesday, 'Steve'
has been broadcasting his offensive and disruptive messages from your
company's network all day during business hours, indicating that his boss has
probably been out of town on business or on vacation since Wednesday.
'Steve' was working on a Microsoft Access database last Friday and Monday of
this week, attempting to prevent the graphics filter message from displaying
(like "importing imageName.jpg") whenever loading images into a subform. He
was also trying to determine how to tell whenever a user on another computer
was accessing a particular record in the database.
Anyone can easily trace the originator of these messages and discover that
they are coming from your company's network by Googling any of the messages,
like this one:
Click on "show options" on the second message in the thread, the one from
"bad man." Click on "Show original." A new window opens, showing the
message with its headers, including this line:
NNTP-Posting-Host: 216.253.202.174
Or you can check the first offensive message from Steve:
Click on "show options" on the third message in the thread, the one from
"Steve." If you check this message's headers, it includes this line:
NNTP-Posting-Host: 216.253.202.174
The NNTP-Posting-Host is the IP address of the computer used to post that
message. Anyone can find which company this computer uses to connect to the
Internet by checking the public records for Internet Service Providers (ISP).
One such URL for these public records is
http://www.melissadata.com/Lookups/iplocation.asp and I think you'll find
familiar the name of the company it reveals.
'Steve' has been posting his messages as "bad man," Trey Davis, David
Pawloski, Armando Blanco, and George Bateman, and he'll undoubtedly keep
changing the name he posts under as each name is blocked by readers. You can
look at these messages and verify that they've been posted by the same
computer on your company's network:
******************************
Did I actually send this message to your employer? Of course not. I'm
willing to give you a second chance to mend your ways, Steve. But the
question is this: "Are you sure that everyone else is just as willing?"

Very impressive, Granny. Thank you.

Thanks. I gathered from his posts he clearly knew what he was doing was
wrong, and he clearly believed noone could do anything about it. I haven't
seen any more of his posts since a few minutes after my message was posted,
so I think he clearly *got the message.* : )

> Very impressive, Granny. Thank you.
You're welcome. I think his degree of sincerity in his apologies increased
exponentially after he read my message. : )

Don't worry! People with class never present themselves with the opportunity
to get on my bad side. Most of the people who post in these newsgroups are
ladies and gentlemen, and I very much enjoy reading all their posts. So
thank you, John, and everyone else for taking the time to help others and
teach us a thing or two! : )
