Therein lies the difference between you and me.
My photos have a story to tell. Those in tune with my awareness (both
of them it seems sometimes) could recite the story in the picture
without being prompted. Quintessentially summer on an Australian bush
beach.
I think natural features to remind us that life is a (re)cycle of
birth and death whilst showing the beauty of the in between time we
live in, is entirely appropriate to the story this picture tells.
My theory about pictures with stories to tell, creating motivation and
emotion in viewers is confirmed every time someone buys one of my
pictures.
If I were to alter my pictures every time someone passed a comment
like yours Doug, I'd have no original images. It reminds me of the guy
who carefully inspected all 40 of the canvas prints on exhibition at
the opening of my new gallery. His comment? Why couldn't you have done
it properly and put them under glass with nice picture frames? LOL.

The missus actually said it looks fake cos frangipani's
don't grow like that. As for me - I wouldn't know - it
looked like a nice photo, but that dead leaf just jumped out
at me and drew my eye.

not plastic.

I never said anything of the kind.
Frangipannis, sand, sea and grass photos are perennial sellers at
dozens of private galleries all over Queensland. I own a gallery and
feed several others so it's relatively logical I would have popular
photos on sale... Or does that not computer for a mathematician?
I'll give you a tip.
If you think you have ever had an original idea for a photo... You are
wrong. There is nothing that you can photograph that someone else
hasn't photographed before, no pose, no subject and no object. Your
macro photos might seem to you to be unique... They're not and if you
ever reached a point where you took that one in a million shot that
had value, 500 wannabe photographers would shoot identical shots the
next day and drag the value down to gutter they dwell in.
Go find some originality yourself. Good luck keeping it to yourself
too.
The idiots in these groups criticize me for producing "fake" (to use
Annika1980's words) photos by adding and altering in Photoshop. Your
mate Mark (the real fake) seemed to think by folding a rather bland
beach picture out and making a feature of part of it, that was
"cheating". I'll happily be called a cheat with record breaking
sellers like that keeping me in fine style.
One of my bridal portraits ("bridezilla", the jackass called it), was
made the way it was because that's my style. To be different than all
you wannabes. The Tennessee jackass and a few of the Aussie wannabes
who worship him reckon that's a good laugh. Keep thinking like that
and you just become one of the mob bleating at me whenever you don't
get your ego massaged for posting some everyday happy snap you took at
lunch time.
And here you come up with the "so much for originality" shit. Get a
life mate. Nothing you've produced so far shows any originality. All
you've demonstrated in the short time you've been here is a copy cat
mentality of sameness. Looks like you've found you niche, Troy. Enjoy
it.

Frangipanni trees grow on the edge of the beach at several Gold Coast
locations. Those people rich enough to have beach front property,
planted them many years ago. I've seen them beach side at Bundaburg
too. The Singapore variety is supposed to be salt resistant. I
wouldn't know myself I just photograph them.
Some dude on the Gold Coast arranges shells, frangipannis, leaves and
flowers on the beach and takes photos he sell glued on post cards for
$3.60 each. That's like my calendars mate... It's what we do for a
quid. You lot can rattle your chompers all you like, I've never been
hungry, never had nowhere to sleep and always found enough for myself
and family. Now I've got enough to live comfortable in retirement... I
got it taking the sort of photographs you all love to criticize.
All 2000 of my calendars were sold out in December but you can still
see Steve Parrish's stuff cramming the shelves of Post Offices around
Australia... Unsold, waiting for the muncher. A total wast of valuable
resources. Is this what we're chopping down the rain forests for? To
recycle unsold calendars printed in Asia? I guess that's what having a
5 year contract to supply this shit to Aus Post will get you. SFA but
everyone knows his name!
While you have been bleating out your criticism, I sold 2 of those
frangipanni prints today. Either there's a lot of people who like my
photos or you lot get it wrong most of the time. I'll go with the
latter.

That's a low blow, Doug, and a rather sad one, too.
All 2000 of your calendars sold out, huh? What sort of print run do you
imagine Parish would produce annually? What difference do you think 2000
would make to his print run?
If your photos are so much better than his, then how did he manage to get
that 5 year contract you mentioned? (and you didn't, that is)
If his work is so poor, why is it carried by so many well-known bookshop
franchises? Dymocks, A&R, Collins and others. In Australia and overseas.
If he was no good, no-one would know him name, 5-year contracts
notwithstanding.
Where can I buy your work off-the-shelf, Doug? I admit I haven't been
looking, but I don't recall ever seeing one of your calendars/ artprints/
whatever in any of the many bookshops I've browsed through.
I can understand your jealousy of Parish, Doug, but you belittle yourself
even further when you express it in public in such immoderate terms.
Obviously he is an adequate (!) photographer and a brilliant
marketer/businessman. Why the need to disparage him?

Yeah... 2000 calendars wouldn't put a dent in Steve's stock. They sure
as hell helped employ a few locals where he sold none when mine were
in the store.
Nothing to do with better or worse photos and I'm sure as hell not
jealous of him mate. I retired to part time work last year. My
daughter runs our business now. When I sell 2 prints of the one image
in the one day to 2 different people out of the one gallery, that is
quite significant considering how you and your cohorts attack me for
posting them.
If I recall it wasn't me who brought up Steve's name. It was some
cretin who tried to use it as a means to insult me. I've never
criticized Steve Parrish's work. I'm pissed off he beat me to the last
GWS Fuji Photo continental had a few years ago but he probably did me
a favour when I bought one in New York and saved a couple of grand.
Steve Parrish has a marketing machine of awesome capabilities. I make
my primary living from wedding photography. It's a highly personal
business. I originally made regional calendars as a community service
and a way to advertise my print centre. It has grown into more than
that now. If you look on the back of one it has an advertisement for
my wedding and portrait business. It is MY way of contributing to MY
community which also gets me wedding photography and portrait sittings
from the people who know me.
We also publish a couple of magazines. That doesn't make me jealous of
James Packer just because he owns more magazines than I have pages in
mine.
Jeff... I don't know where you got the idea I have any anger, jealousy
or whatever for other businesses. I do my thing and something it comes
in conflict with what someone else does. Big deal. I know there are
way better photographers out there than me. Big Deal. I also know
there are plenty of wannabes who try to imitate me and copy my popular
photos. Big Deal too. By the time they get to market, I'll have a
different one.
It might interest you to learn that Steve Parrish doesn't actually
sell his products up front and I do. He buys racks and stands which he
puts in the stores and fills with stock. He only gets paid when the
stock is replenished. I have a totally different business model to
him. Why would I be jealous of him? I probably make as much money as
he does, I just do it differently. And don't think for a single moment
he took all those photos. He just owns them.
You really ought to study a few business models and realize very few
people who have continuously been in business for as long as me (over
40 years), hold any jealousy towards other businesses that operate
ethically. I'll tell you too that I've never met anyone so vocally
outspoken as the idiots who frequent this group, who have ever been
successful in business.

Here's where you had a go at insect macros in case you have

"...
Is there a hidden agenda here somewhere or have digital cameras

abundance of ego and an under supply of imagination?"
So you are allowed to criticise others for having no imagination,
yet when your lack of imagination is proven it's fine? You can't
even sit on the fence, you keep jumping from side to side.
I agree with you. I don't think I'll ever take a photo that
doesn't resemble something that some other photographer has
taken. I don't care. I would love to be able to mimic some of
the awesome photos I've seen. And I don't really care that your
shots have all been taken before either.
Just don't criticise me or anyone else for it. That's all I was

Just so I'm following correctly, if I do contrast enhancement to my
photos in Photoshop then that's bad ("plastic looking" as the other
idiot troll calls it), but if you use fake plastic flowers arranged on
a beach setting where they don't even grow then that's OK.
Yeah, that makes perfect sense, especially coming from the guy who
tries to sell large prints of sunsets where half of the pic is a
mirror image of the other half.
Remember this gem? I'm sure it was a huge seller.

No jealousy at all that I can see, mate.
Douglas
Absolutely... It's like all my other photos you stole and try to poke
me with. I don't have to try to sell them, people buy them.
AOL it seems is only accessible by AOL customers outside the USA.
The connection has timed out
The server at members.aol.com is taking too long to respond.
That must piss you right off, all those people missing out on the
slide show of the century. Go on, show us you have balls. Put 'em up
on pbase and let's have some fun. I'm sure by now you've had your last
warning from them.
I'll have a guess... It's one of the Nth Stradbroke Island collection
with my grand daughters holding it so buyers can gain a idea of it's
size. This is most likely from the eBay sale you tried to sabotage.
Guess what? Your pathetic attempt at cracking my eBay seller's account
so you could sabotage my sales didn't work. http://www.annika1980.com/cracking.htm
is the evidence of your dirty deed. What a total loser you are. Not
content with half a dozen socks gushing praise of your pathetic
plastic crap, you reckon the only time what you do is illegal is when
you get caught.
Those 2 year old pictures still sell too. Right alongside the 24 other
photos I published in the Minjerribah calendars of 2007 and 2008.
The thing you haven't yet grasped fool, is that your jealousy of me is
destroying your soul ... Any dumb dick (as several have since) can
take a snap of that beach and crop the shit out it trying to copy
me... But don't forget, I'm the one they try to copy. You really do
have to ask yourself why, if I'm as bad as you make out, so many
people buy my work and try to imitate it with their own snaps.
The gallery of trolls, thieves and jackasses is the name of it and
it's managed by that idiot in Chattanooga: "The Tennessee Jackass" at
rec.photo.equipment.35mm. You'll easily spot him. He has half a dozen
socks doing his dirty work and a huge gallery of my photos he stole
from my web sites. You can read all about his disgusting behavior and
criminal activity at: http://www.annika1980.com... For at least
another five years! LOL.

It's probably worth reminding Douglas of the "honest john" promise he
made when he sold his calendar 'business' on Ebay (170077195281, Feb
07). He said this:
> I will not be doing any more calendars and if I get a request for

Let's repeat that. "I'll not be doing any more calendars".
So, about those calendars for 2007 and 2008....? I wonder if his
buyer reads usenet?
Carry on as usual Doug.
Douglas
I passed the order on. He had given up on his ideal of being a
"calendar king" satisfied he got the binding equipment for a song. So
I started printing them again. What's wrong with that? You have way
too much shit from brains. It's made you dreams fertile.
Your problem is you are so obsessed with me, you try find crooked
dealings in everything I do and can't. When that happens you start to
invent fictitious scenarios like when you "THOUGHT" the EPA couldn't
possibly be issuing commercial permits to photograph in National
Parks. Instead of asking, you slandered me with your despicable lies.
When I posted the evidence, complete with EPA letterhead, you tried to
worm you way out of it instead of apologize to me.
The you tried to belittle me with more lies that just because you
couldn't figure out the name of my print centres. They don't exist,
you cried. When I posted the evidence to prove at least one of them
existed, right along with the list of other business I owned on the
window, instead of apologizing for your smear campaign, you went off
looking for a bunch of aliases I'd used in an attempt to shake off
your bullying. That actually back fired when you demonstrated some
rare intelligence and figured out if the post was about my
enlargements, it had to come from me... Missing altogether the IP that
identified me remained constant.
I thought eventually you'd be exposed for the lying swine you are.
Certainly plenty of people recognize it but like the weeds in my
garden, whatever you do without killing off the whole garden, sees
twice as many grow. You've already been warned by your ISP to stop
bullying me and decided to ignore it. Why is something you'll no doubt
explain with more lies and defamation. I didn't bother to pursue a
legal solution against you because the possibility of recovering costs
from you simply didn't make it worthwhile me spending $5000 to get you
into court.
The real issue with Usenet and the idiots like you and that jackass
from Tennessee who thrive on it, ensuring in the process it will self
destruct, is you think you can say and do whatever you like, knowing
you have nothing to lose if you get sued because you have nothing in
the first place. How's it feel to be worthless?
That makes you and the jackass real life losers. Unable to cope with
the truth and the possibility someone you attack might just be an
honest, upstanding community member, you attack them here banding
together with a bunch of childish fools hiding their identity, lets
their mother finds out and kicks their ass.
All along knowing you don't have the spine for a personal
confrontation. That's why you sneaked around Margie's craft stall
without identifying yourself. Good for you Mark. It must have make you
feel rewarded that you got to see rejects from my gallery experimental
enlargements - still good enough to sell at a market but not quite
gallery quality. Then like a hunter returned from the field, proudly
criticize them here, knowing you got away without needing to face the
people you defame. You are absolutely the scum of the earth mate.
What's worse is you think you aren't.

Hey speaking of galleries, where exactly did you say that your gallery
is located? I must have missed your reply to my earlier query. Oh
yeah, and where are some of those galleries that you "feed?"
See if you can answer without mentioning park permits or your website
that you obsessively dedicated to me. And while you're at it, how
about disclosing the super-secret location of all those digital print
centers you have so cleverly hid all across Brisbane. That one you
showed a pic of has been closed down for years. BTW, is that the one
where you were given free space by some other business and chose to
leave when the owner tried to feel Margie up? Yeah, we all believe
that story.

Douglas, this is a public forum. There are many people who would like
to examine your work up close and try out your printing services - I
mean there must be, given what you say about baiting folk to get
hits.... Or isn't that true?
You never reply, your website says nothing, they aren't in the phone
book under any of your webnames. They simply don't seem to exist.
So that means one of two things:
1. It's all a fantasy.
2. You are a coward who won't face his critics.
Or both. Maybe we should start a thread asking for a vote on whether
Douglas should post the names/addresses of his franchises?

I've often thought that surely he must be a troll, and that this was
all a clever (?) intricate hoax. And indeed, some of it seems to be
just that, eg the printing franchises and his 'valuable' enlarging
algorithm (sold to Samsung, doncha know).
But I have actually witnessed his market stall at Cleveland!! It was
singularly uninspiring, and attracted interest in line with that
although admittedly he said he was selling his rejects there (grin, as
you would)... Sadly that stall is now defunct, I gather, although
there were two *decent* photographers there last time I visited.
The time I saw his stand is also the time that Douglas has FALSELY
stated that:
- I took photos of his images, presumably to resell at enormous profit
(umm, I didn't have a camera that day...)
- I waited until the attendant left the stand, and then stole stuff
(obviously I didn't do that, and he has *retreated* from that
defamatory claim now)
- I 'sneaked' around
(*why* would I do that, when Douglas doesn't have a clue what I
look like?)
He states he has footage of me on security tape, but when I have asked
him to prove that by simply describing me, he goes competely quiet.
Again, that claim begs an obvious question - how would he know *who*
was on the security tape? Was I perhaps wearing a name badge? (O:
(I *am* very easy to spot in a crowd, for a reason that Douglas isn't
aware of - that's a bit of a problem for him as he doesn't have a clue
how to describe me, despite his 'tape'..)
As further evidence he is not entirely trolling, he did send a few
large prints out to garner support for his enlarging claims. But
those prints were carefully selected ones, he refused to supply any
original files to verify his claims, and in fact the comments (that he
frequently misrepresents) from folk like Gordon Moat, Alan Browne,
Colin D and 'Avery' all indicate they were 'nice', but showed no
evidence of an enlarging breakthrough of any kind. In fact, in most
of those cases the prints showed quite the reverse - indeed Douglas
was recently busted when he admitted one of the prints was actually a
stitched panorama! Then there's the challenge issued by Gisle
Hannemyr (http://hannemyr.com/photo/interpolation.html) that Douglas
ran away from, and of course just about every time Douglas has posted
'evidence' of his abilities on the web he has been quickly busted for
false claims and has had to remove the pages in embarrassment. Call
me obsessive, but I've kept them all, neatly cached. They may come in
handy...
If anyone can find his many business addresses in a phone book, let us
all know. And has *anyone* at all used his services and wish to
comment?
...Hello???
...Is this thing on??
(Now's probably the time to up the ante with some more sockpuppets,
Doug.)

of all of them... And a little present from the Queensland
magistrate's court.
Couldn't be fairer than that,eh? You show me yours and I'll show you
mine! Come out from under your rock, fanboi and let's get this show on
the road.You've been spreading lies and defamation about me for long
enough.
You changed you name when you escaped from South Australia and never
bothered to be recorded on the Electoral Roll in Queensland or take
out a Queensland drivers license... At least not in the name(s) you
use to identify yourself here. Maybe it's you who don't exist?
Silly me. I pay my taxes (ABN number highly visible) I'm listed on
the Electoral Roll, my driver's license and all my vehicles are
listed with Qld Transport as is my boat registered with maritime
services and Lloyds, along with both my addresses. My phone number is
in the white pages. My print labs are advertised in the yellow pages
and you can't find any of them? Gimme a break. No one is that
stupid... Hmm on the other hand... Maybe you've just proven me wrong!
As for Gisle? Instead of asking a controversial, part time
mathematician why I refused to share my math with him... Try
discovering what a real, prominent and highly respected professional
fine art and commercial photographer had to say about my enlargement
algorithm... Gordon Moat is his name. Quite a well known Photographer
who owns a commercial studio in San Diego. http://www.allgstudio.com/technology.html
Just click on "printing technology".
So who is right? The idiot hiding behind assumed names, who defamed me
from a SA Government workstation and who now hides out to Queensland
under an assumed nae after being reprimanded for it. The man who
claims to have been a "Professional Wedding Photographer" but can't
prove it "for family reasons" LOL. Or ...one of the United States'

Personal Entertainment?
Surely this is not Troy Piggins the guy who uses Aus.Photo for his own
personal entertainment writing this?
Some time ago, Google appointed themselves host of all things Usenet.
Some might call it a conflict of interests. You know, publishing
information from shonky sources whilst taking the high ground and
claiming to only publish existing data.
When they produce Usenet messages posted by the most despicable scum
on this earth who post through mail2news gateways that were long ago
banned by responsible newsgroup hosts when someone searches for
information about me (and a plethora of other people these childish
idiots target), and then spout their rhetoric whilst refusing to do
anything about removing the query replies without a (USA) court order
which would cost me about $7000 per message posted to have removed
plus $12,000 for a New York Lawyer to do the court action... I think
it's fair enough I use their inclusion of Usenet posts in search
results as a means to inflate my rankings for legitimate searches.
You might feel different but seeing as you stuck you nose into it,
What's you opinion about that?

Yes. You've joked several times about playing with Bret, Mark,
Pete etc. And to Rita you've said you were bored with playing
with them. And you've used me, by editing one of my photos. You
turned out a crap edit of it. We'll never know if it was by
intention or ability. Then after you were mocked, by others not
me, you said it was intentional to bait the crowd.

This is the Troy Piggins who is calling your bluff and calling
you a hypocrite. I post my photos here, as I've said I don't
know how many times to your deaf ears, to get critique and learn.
I'm not posting this conversation right now for my own personal
entertainment. I'm not enjoying it. I'm just sick of your hot
air, chest-puffing, hypocrasy, broken record "they're all picking
on me even though I antagonise them", pot/kettle/black and
general bullshit. I was happy to stay out of it until you
attacked me and every other macro or hobby/amateur photographer
that dares post on your USENET.

I don't know where that little tangent came from, but reel it
back in, Doug.
I think that was a combination of smoke-screen and twisted
justification of you using USENET to increase hit-counts? Not
sure. Still coughing from the smoke. Not convinced though.
Still pot/kettle/black.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with you doing what
you think will get you more sales than what your ability/talent
alone will get. Just don't lecture others about ethics, or say
that you're professional, or have a go at others for doing exactly
what you do.
> You might feel different but seeing as you stuck you nose into it,

My opinion is that you see something you don't like and you post
a rant about it. And that's fine. Only problem is that you do
many of the things you criticise others for. But in your head
you have some way of justifying what you do and convince yourself
that you are right, but everyone else is wrong.
Either that, or you must really hate yourself and be miserable
all the time. Which would also make sense...

Avoiding the question as always - but Douglas already has a completely
valid postal address for me. He refuses to use it, for he knows
anything in writing will backlash very quickly. Nor will he post his
solicitor's name, despite all the 'threats' (I'm not sure they deserve

that?
And of course that isn't how the Magistrate's Court works.

Oh, yes, perfectly fair. (O;
You run a (fantasy?) business, advertise it here, claim you have
several outlets and franchises.. but you REFUSE to give out a business

*I* don't run or advertise any business here, yet *you* want to have

- that there isn't one "Mark Thomas" (with a license) in the whole of

Anyone who has reading comprehension can see it VERY OBVIOUSLY wasn't

Thanks for the opportunity to repost that one as well. To be fair, he
said you made 'nice prints'.
But I particularly liked the answers he gave regarding your wilder
claims about your unique secret algorithm that could manufacture 'real
detail', and your claim that he wrote the article on the basis of your
prints. Gordon very gently and tactfully said:

Don't enter a battle of wits without arms, Douglas.

Ooops, I left out the link to the thread where Douglas lied about me
'stealing' from his market stall, and made a number of threats.

I guess you don't really want to know what it is after all?
Anyone from these groups who wants to do business with me can (as many have
done in the past) send me an Email. CRYPTOPIX@YAHOO>COM>AU and I'll reply
(as I've done many times in the past). What you are trying to do is discover
my addresses to heave a brick through the window - metaphorically speaking.
You've already been caught sneaking around behind my back, concealing who
you are. Take some timely advise and don't do it again. For all I know you
could be casing the place. With your history I wouldn't discount any
criminal act you are capable of.
As for contacting me? Pretty simple really. All except for the PC I'm using
right now, have my legitimate addy when you click the "reply to sender"
button. Shit mate, even the Chattanooga Jackass knows how to contact me.
Don't use bullshit while trying to make out you have a clue or for that
matter have a shred of human decency either. You haven't. You are just a
total and complete loser, incapable of minding your own business, doing your
utmost to interfere with mine. It isn't going to happen child. Sit, fool.
SIT.
You are a perfect example why contraception should have been a mandatory
subject for your parents.

Discovering your real address is a trivial matter in these days of the
internet and every Govt Dept. thinking its a good idea to put everything on
the web, the hard part here is not your home address (and to be honest, who
really cares) but to discover your "Many Business addresses." you won't
provide names of those Galleries you "feed" with your "Art" prints, you
won't even name a single Photo Kiosk.
For someone that uses the net to increase business you sure don't want THAT
particular info to get out, why is that So Douggie ??

I gain satisfaction from knowing idiots who use invented names and have
demonstrated a propensity for "dropping in" and attempting to cause me harm
and disrupt my legitimate business activities as they try to make up for
their own inadequacies... Haven't yet discovered the most prominent of them
all.
So what business is it of yours who I sell my art to and where I sell it?
What is it about me that so fascinates you?
That I'll play with you when no one else will, perhaps?
That I have a thriving business and you are jealous? LOL.
Maybe you are like Mark...
Just a broken down hack with a chip on your shoulder and a bent on anyone
who succeeds at doing what you can't?
I am amazed that someone like the Village idiot, long ago fun out of Port
Lincoln, who prides himself on his detective skills, who has investigator
"mates" in ASIC he can call up at the snap of his fingers to do my and my
companies over, hasn't discovered even one of those company's addresses!
ROTFL.
So much for that clueless dweeb. He must have spent 2 years looking for the
Health PCs and Techno Aussie shop. Not until I posted a photo of Margie's
damaged print sale at a Sunday market, did he discover what the whole of
Cleveland knew!
Even then I had to post a picture of my shop before he "discovered" 6 months
later, I'd out grown it and moved to larger premises. You of all people ...
A person who hides your identity so cleverly should have no need to ask why
I do it.
Why do you not identify yourself? Hmmm...
Maybe you already have and I just didn't consider you significant enough to
take notice.
The fact is Atheist, you are using this group for personal entertainment,
nothing more or less. You play with me the way I play with you. This is what
Usenet has degraded to in the hands of those who need to feel the power of
persecution pulsing through their fingers as they rattle of yet another list
of socks... Leaving out those they couldn't discover and adding some I never
used. Ha, ha, ha. Unbelievable stuff.
These are the dweebs and idiots who would inherit what we leave behind. God
help them all for they are unable to help themselves.
God hep them if they ever get caught helping themselves too!
God might even forgive you Atheist, if you just confess your sins. Shouldn't
take more than a day or two to write them down.
mark.t...@gmail.com
Yep, Douglas. The fact that you claim to own chains of stores but
refuse to post any name or address of even one of them is *REALLY*
making fools of everyone here.
By the way, why don't you have your full name on your websites any
more? Goodwill problem? Have you legally made the change to Douglas
St James? Or just Douglas James? Seems you can't decide...

To be honest Douggie I couldn't give a rat arse about your "Art" but then I
find it amusing that you studiously AVOID this subject and then try and turn
the argument away from it every time it is mentioned, why is that ??

You propensity for lying and when cornered your propensity for hurling
insults, threats and straw men

Actually I have quite a few real world friends, most of them wouldn't take
the time to piss on someone like you, I on the other hand am more charitable
and would endeavor to find the contents of a porta potty to pour on you, but
then I am also charitable to retards and people with obvious disabilities.
> That I have a thriving business and you are jealous? LOL.
I had a thriving business as well Douggie, something you didn't know, I
don't need it as a form of income any more as I am quite comfortable with
what I have and have no need to brag. I semi retired about 18 months ago.
> Maybe you are like Mark...
No, I'm nothing like mark, because if you were slandering ME around the net
like your are with Mark (and Brett) I would have a bunch of Lawyers (Did I
mention that I went to school with a couple of friends who are now quite
successful Solicitors, but then Private schools are like that) taking you
apart so completely that you will be doing car windows at some intersection
so you can afford to eat for the day.

Broken down hack, nope.
chip on my shoulder, nope.
from where I'm sitting Douggie, I have probably had more success than you
could ever imagine, I'm not fabulously wealthy, but I'm not going to be
hurting for a few years just yet :-)

You just can't help yourself can you Douggie, you have to get just one more
insult in, how does that particular bad habit help your "Thriving" business
??

I could of course reveal my true Identity, but then you would just use it to
make a defamatory web site in my honor and I would then have to call in the
dogs, you don't really want that Douggie. And anyway, your the one who hides
behind a plethora of sock puppets, do you see the hypocrisy ??

My first name begins with "G", your so smart, work it out for yourself :-)

Or maybe you are just as clueless as you claim others to be, because I know
for a fact if you had my real identity, you couldn't help yourself, you
would just have to create a slanderous web site, its like a disease with
you, maybe you should seek professional help.

Yes I am, and your using it to try and bolster your business, your point!!

And some use Usenet to try and bully the weak, threaten those that have
exposed your lies and then tried to intimidate those who still stand up to
your bully boy tactics with threats of AFP investigations and complaints to
their ISP's to try and silence the critics, who here is the more evil and
sinister poster Douggie??
BTW what's the case number for that AFP complaint you made about me in the
past, you know the one that I offered to assist with by going to the AFP and
handing myself in ??

not a dole bludged Douggie, if your comprehension skills were half as good
as your ablility to make up fake names for use on Usenet ,you would have
seen the *Semi* part of Semi Retired. It means I work when I want and for
who I want, I dont work to pay off a mortgage or put food on the table for
my family, or to put them through a private school. and I wouldnt call late
40's an old fart.

So tell me Oh bitter and twisted one, what's that like ??
I also noticed you have failed to address *all* of my questions.
its OK I will repeat them for you
Why do you avoid any questions about the names of your "kiosk's" when after
all, you have admitted that your main aim here is to promote your work??
and the question I have been asking for a while now, what's the case number
of the "official" complaint you have made to the AFP about me and others
here for cyber bullying, I want to assist by presenting myself to the
relevant Authorities and assist in their enquiries (and this is a genuine
offer Douglas)
Steve Brooks
There is no AFP case number as Doggy was laughed at when he called them.
Similar to my conversation this morning with Tanya from IInet.
Apparently Doug is on a list of regular complainers that they ignore.
Must be similar to the list State Transit has of the old people that
write in once a week to complain the driver of the 6.37am bus hadn't had
a shave. These complaints go straight in the bin.
