For three good books to read look at...

http://www.quilljar.btinternet.co.uk/covers.htm
Buy all three books and get them post free to anywhere on the planet.

There's lots of great material for you to write
another book, all right here.

Well put Lloyd. Or as Jonathan so aptly stated a
few months ago... welcoming a newbie... "Welcome
to this sailing news group... which is the equivalent
of the old wild West of many years ago!"

Out of deference to Mr. Crantz... one could also say
that you have and will be baptized in the fires of lit-
erary Hell if you want to be a player with this bunch.

Poor Mr. Crantz got thrown off of his ISP, thanks to someone in this
newsgroup.

WHAT?!?!?!?! Bob Crantz never did anything to anyone!

Now that's too bad. He was lots of fun. I doubt it was from anyone here,
since he never did anything to warrant such an action.

Lloyd I'm sorry to hear that. Excuse my computer ignorance
but how does one get thrown off their internet service prov-
der.

Whatever his violation(s) may have been... I can't imagine
them having to do with his participation in this newsgroup
or for that matter that one of our participants was respons-
ible.

Wondering what's up????

Bill

Don't worry, Bob Crantz assures me he will return. He asked if I would step
in for him until he can return. He is very kind, especially to Korean War
Veterans. I'd fight my way off hold anytime for Bob Crantz!

Right you are Lloyd.

I've been fighting those demons from hell!

I shall return!

Amen!

Bill, your ISP would determine that you've done something that violates
their acceptable use policy (AUP) or terms of service (TOS), then they
remove priviledges from your account, e.g., not allow you to post to
newsgroups through their service, refuse to allow you to use email, remove
your website from their servers, or any and all of these things, including
not allowing you to be their customer. Of course, there are lots of ISPs, so
one can usually go to another.

I suspect that Lloyd doesn't know what he's talking about, because Crantz is
occasionally on topic, almost always interesting, and I can't remember
anything he's done that has come close to violating his AUP or TOS with
respect to this newsgroup.

You have to keep in mind that no one on this (or almost any) newsgroup can
be "responsible" for someone being booted. The person in question must do
something that their ISP finds objectionable and must be convinced that it
wasn't a one-time thing (usually, but not always.. depends on the ISP).

I have it on good word that Karl Rove got a hold of Bob Crantz's ISP
account. They tried to ship him off to Guantanamo be he used Ju Jitsu on
them. I'll report when I find out more.
