Thanks for the head's up, but I chose my NSP specifically
because Chris Caputo (the owner) doesn't cave in or scare
easily. Have you ever looked at Altopia's acceptable use
policy? At $6 per month its cheap insurance against
fjuckkkheaded netkkkops like the 'Captain'.

from https://www.altopia.com/polfaq.html :

Q: What if I don't like one of your customers or what they are
saying on Usenet? Will you delete them for me if I complain
enough?

A: No.

Q: One of your users is harassing me. What should I do?

A: You should probably ask them to stop or try to ignore them.

Q: What is your policy on off-topic postings?

A: We do not have a policy against off-topic postings

Most ISPs don't have a policy against off-topic postings and the like
because they do not consider themselves as editors of content. They
merely provide a connection and connectivity, much like the phone
company. You can sue an individual for what they say and do, but not
the carrier service. Once a carrier, be it an ISP or someone like the
phone company, starts regulating content, they then assume
responsibility for that content, and can be held liable for it. So
that's why they don't have policies concerning usage or content.


the Curmudgeon

Hi, Mr. Curmudgeon. Altopia would be better if it didn't give the
IP number in the
headers. Since they give the IP number (your post has it) it gives
snitches like Capt. JG an easy way to find and complain about you to
your ISP. The news server I'm using doesn't show my ISP number so it
makes it so netcops can only complain to the news server.
It's not so bad getting kicked off an news server because there's
lots of them. But in
some places there's only one ISP. If you get kicked off you're stuck
with no internet access. this gives people like Capt. JG orgasms. A
couple people who used to post to alt.sailing.asa lost their ISP
because of Capt. JG snitching on them. Because they kept calling him a
queer..... I guess it's a hate crime these days. It's sad when you
can't hate those sick immoral freaks. Even God hates them.
People like Capt. JG and Katy have this trick they do. They send
e-mails from multiple
computers using multiple names to complain directly to an ISP. Katy
sent dozens of these to databasics about one or more of their
subscribers but they caught on because they aren't a bunch of stupid
newbies.
When some ISPs gets flooded with complaints some of them figure
they must be legit.
Instead of spending lot's of their valuable time trying to find out if
the complaints are bogus it's easier for them to kick off a
subscriber. Then Jonathan Ganz puts some lawsuit threats in there and
they really think a customer isn't worth the trouble. Some ISP's don't
even have a clue what Usenet is. Some snitch says your spamming a
newsgroup and they figure you broke their spam rule....
It'd be nice if all ISPs weren't so stupid but some of them
definitely aren't too bright.
"So get one that is bright" people might say. That's all well and good
if there's more than one available but some places you got one and
that's it.
Oh, I got called dumb and got put on a dumb list. I answered some
post that my answer
went to some other newsgroup and they said it flooded it. Your doing
the same thing sending all the answers to your post just to soc.men.
But I checked the headers and found out what your doing so I changed
it to reply to all the news groups it was sent to. Fool me once shame
on you. Fool me twice shame on me. :-)

Cheers,
Ellen



Trust me Ellen, I know what I'm doing ;-) I've been on the Net for a
long time - I'm from the old school that believes that cross-posting to
unrelated newsgroups is net abuse and trolling - I guess not everyone
sees it that way. I purposely edited my headers before posting, as I am
reading and posting from soc.men. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that many
ISPs aren't too aware of Usenet anymore. I started out my online
"career" as an avid "BBS'er" back when dial-up BBS's were the big thing.
When I first discovered the Internet in about 1992, Usenet basically
*was* the Internet at that time. A little bit different place today....
the majority of Net users today likely use the World Wide Web only, and
don't have a clue as to what Usenet, IRC, Telnet, FTP, etc. are.

You really need to learn to read headers, Ellen. Mr C is /not/
posting thru Altopia, I am. And you won't find a valid posting
host IP in my poasts. The best way to determine which service
somebody posts thru is via the 'Path' header. In Mr C's case it
shows he's poasting thru highwinds-media.com, which IIRC is the
NSP that his ISP (Cox) has contracted with for news service.
Most ISPs have outsourced their nntp feeds these days...


You are correct sir - My ISP is actually Cox Cable.......

If'n JFK had done that with Cuba we wouldn't have half the

Duh, ya lost me....

During the Korean War, when the ChiComs started flooding south
to aid the North Koreans, General MacArthur wanted to use dirty
nukes to create a 10 mile wide radiation belt across the border.
The Chinese troops could still have crossed, but they would have
dropped dead from radiation poisoning with 72 hours.

Trust me Ellen, I know what I'm doing ;-) I've been on the Net for a
long time -

I took my first programming course in '67 at Dartmouth, and was
on DARPANet at MIT in '69

I'm from the old school that believes that cross-posting to
unrelated newsgroups is net abuse and trolling - I guess not everyone
sees it that way.

There is a difference between abuse 'of' the net, and abuse
'on' the net.

I purposely edited my headers before posting, as I am
reading and posting from soc.men.

froups line restored

Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that many
ISPs aren't too aware of Usenet anymore. I started out my online
"career" as an avid "BBS'er" back when dial-up BBS's were the big thing.

I've never run one, but Junior did on his old C-64 in the 80's

When I first discovered the Internet in about 1992, Usenet basically
*was* the Internet at that time. A little bit different place today....
the majority of Net users today likely use the World Wide Web only, and
don't have a clue as to what Usenet, IRC, Telnet, FTP, etc. are.

The last figures I saw credited (or blamed, depending on your
perspective) peer-to-peer file sharing for about 98% of the
global bandwidth usage.
