Where's ratbags.com?
Peter Bowditch
I apologise if you see it more than once.
The ISP hosting the ratbags.com domain vanished at 17:00 on Monday 29
July leaving me and many other people both siteless and emailless. My
highest priority since then has been to assist commercial clients of
the ISP to get back into business by getting their sites running again
at another hosting service.
The ratbags.com site and email should be working again within 24
hours.
I apologise for any inconvenience.

John's Whale site has a lot of information on it.The Ratbag
site is just a lot of name-calling.
The Ratbag site is down. Mark, don't you think that Peter
is dishonestly hiding his site, because of criticism of it? <g>

The whale site has about as much good information as a garbage dump.

Nope. I think that Bolen, et al, have done it in.

RAOFL!
Funny how skeptical inquiry is always skeptical of non-industry sources, eg
HIV skeptics, vaccine skeptics, drug skeptics isn't it? Methinks skeptic
mags etc are just industry fronts.

Bolen's credo is on his site:
"The great mass of people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a
small one." Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, 1925
It is applicable to your site, too.

Probably because people who read the site are more intelligent than Bolen or
Adolf assumed and can see his site for what it is, a pile of whale poop.

No, not O'Neill. Not Bolen.
The hosting ISP went broke. Well, actually they just went. As I said
in my first post, my priority had to be my business site (you know,
the one that never gets mentioned in these non-commercial newsgroups)
and some clients before I could do anything about a money-sink, hobby
site.
The ratbags.com site has a new home and Network Solutions have advised
me that the redelegation is filtering across the 'net even as we type,
so everything should be almost back to normal shortly. In the
meantime, everyone should remain calm and stay in their homes.

The fact is Connect.com.au pulled the plug on Bowditch's ISP,
Netaus.com (Webmail.com.au) because they failed to provide a complaint
mechanism as per ABA regulation. Bowditch wouldn't admit this, because
Bowditch is a pathological liar.
In the unfortunate event Bowditch finds another portal for his
audience to watch him masturbate in front of his dog, he will find
himself, once again, without a home. What a pity!

Perchance you can provide evidence to back this assertion?
HCN
Some of use who WERE customers of Excite@Home can relate to an ISP going out
of business and pulling the plug.

Do not hold your breath. Annie is a sock puppet of a guy who has stalked
Peter for years. Visit Peter's site and look up Bill O'Neill.
Peter Bowditch
I would like to welcome Mr William P O'Neill of the Canadian Cancer
Research Group back to Usenet. Mr O'Neill has not been heard of since
25 May, when he futilely attempted to cause trouble at the Australian
Computer Society by making some baseless claim about me. The claim
was, of course and as usual, ignored.

The fact is that Netaus/Webmail was taken over by Platypus Internet in
April 2002, and a traceroute to the IP address of the relevant web
server has not shown any mention of Connect.com for some time. Also,
Mr O'Neill would gain some credibility (although not much) if he were
to show at least some knowledge of the domain name used by my former
host.
As Mr O'Neill has been told on many occasions, complaints about the
content of web sites in Australia can be made at
http://www.aba.gov.au/internet/complaints/complaints.htm
Again I invite Mr O'Neill to provide copies of the correspondence he
has received on this matter. I am frankly sceptical that he would be
included on the cc list when people like Connect.com, and the
Australian Broadcasting Authority are talking about me or my
activities, but I remain, as always, open to evidence.

I don't really understand this, as it seems to suggest that if I find
another host for my site I will not have a host. I do not have a dog,
but I do have a web site at http://www.ratbags.com, where, among other
useful and entertaining information, you can find the history of Mr
O'Neill's dealings with me at http://www.ratbags.com/rsoles/onews.

Looks like Telstra Bigpond still likes me as a customer. My sites have
never been hosted at Telstra.
>Netaus,
The ratbags.com domain was hosted by Netaus from March 1999 up until
29 July, 2002, when the company that had taken over Netaus went broke.
Mr O'Neill's first attempt to get Netaus to close my site was made on
February 8, 2000. He received a reply which can be summarised in two
words, one starting with "f" and the other with "o". That attitude
never changed.
>Connect
Connect.com is a wholesale bandwidth supplier and has no ability to
act on the content of sites hosted by its customers. My sites have
never been hosted on any Connect.com servers.

How does Mr O'Neill know that any ISPs are paedophiles? He seems to
think that some have shoe fetishes as well, it seems. Does he have
personal knowledge of the sexual habits of ISPs?
