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 |

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 |

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... -- "Tis an ill wind that blows no minds" ....PK |

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. the Curmudgeon |

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....... the Curmudgeon |

@authen.yellow.readfreenews.net, Ellen MacArthur says... "CovvTseTung" wrote See, this is why I disagree with the Shrub. There is absolutely no reason to put America's sons and daughters in harms way. The oil in the Middle East is generally about two miles deep. Which means that there is no way it would be adversely affected by a little bit of radioactivity on the surface. Pull all our troops out, and turn the whole freaking place into a puddle of glass. Sounds good to me. Make an example outta them. They understand power. And if they're all dead the ones who're left someplace else won't wanna mess with us. If'n JFK had done that with Cuba we wouldn't have half the problems in the world that we're currently facing. I prefer the solution that got Doug MacArthur fired by Truman 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. -- "Tis an ill wind that blows no minds" ....PK |

"CovvTseTung" wrote He writes more like 5 than 55 I bet he snitches on you for saying that.... He's the most prolific netcop ever to disgrace this newsgroup or probably any newsgroup.... He's got it down to a science. Watch your step or he'll make legal threats against your ISP and they'll throw you overboard because it's easier to give customers the boot than defend against threatened lawsuits. Cheers, Ellen 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 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. -- "Tis an ill wind that blows no minds" ....PK |
