One individual in particular comes to mind. He has so many aliases that I am unable to keep up with all of them. He even goes so far as to post questions under an assumed name and then answers himself using one of his more popular assumed names. Take a lesson or two in reading message headers and you will soon learn his devious ways. And don't be fooled by messages that have their roots in foreign countries. He knows how to work that scam to death. I have posted this information in this newsgroup many times in the past. I don't really like to converse with someone who hides behind a cloak of deception. And I am sure others feel the same way. He's chased a lot of valuable posters away from this newsgroup, including some very knowledgeable posters from the "old country". Regards, Ted Saselli/

I openly oppose advertising on this news group (a subject I feel very strongly about); I attempt to explain the very real and important differences between a mailing list and a newsgroup, a concept which few of you seem interested in eventhough your all involved with those differences; I explain why it's not only dumb but why nobody is obliged to use a real address in their posts. Evidently I am the only participant here who is not allowed to speak what's on his mind. Several others, evidently, are well within the bounds of propriety when they call me all sorts of names, accuse me of decimating this newsgroup and of having all sorts of aliases among other things. To date I have accused no one of anything nor called nobody names. I simply disagreed with a woman who uses this forum to sell CDs. I read another newsgroup that has to do with a hobby. Because there are no other gateways to that group, there are no lost souls who've stumbled in having no idea where they are or what they are involved in. There are hundreds of participants there all using "nick names" and doctored email addresses. We all get along fine because there are no lost souls who think they've subscribed to a mailing list. Teddy, you don't know me from Adam. If you think you do, throw out a name. Lets see how far down your throat you can stick your own foot;-) Benny >
