Ärende: Re: AOL Censorship - have you
=====================================
Hey, Gary.

 EC>>> It would take more evidence than that to get me to believe it.  Do
 EC>>> you believe one way or the other?

 JH>> I know you follow computer stuff fairly close, so I know you are
 JH>> aware that AOL has been hauled into court several times in the
 JH>> past for censorship and various other transgressions.  Its
 JH>> been in the news - a
 JH>> lot - and I'm sure this moronic broad knows that as well as we do.
 JH>> She's just being a perverse ***** trying to give us a hard time.

 EC>> I've heard about Prodigy and others doing some snooping stuff.

 GM>  You've got to feel sorry for the students in Ed's summer course.
 GM>  He's either incredibly dense or he's forever involved in misleading
 GM>  people by way of a dunce act.  Either way, the students are to be
 GM>  pitied.  They deserve better than an idiot like this.

<g>  You do go on, Gary.  Of course you are entitled to your opinion.

 EC>> I've always resisted such organizations.  My ISP is SBC and
 EC>> they keep trying to get me to install software so that I am
 EC>> part of SBC/YAHOO.  It is supposed to do all sorts of
 EC>> wonderful things, yet I ignore them.  All I want is access
 EC>> to the Internet, and I will figure it out for myself,
 EC>> thank you very much.

 GM>  But he doesn't know what Back Orifice is.

You probably have javascript disabled.  My home page is

And it uses Mod-Python rather than PHP.

You will notice that the rest of us are open.  We don't try to hide
ourselves or our identity.  There are pictures on the web of most of us, and
we accept the good, the bad and the ugly.  But, we are real people.  On the
other hand, there are several "individuals" that have showed up here lately
who seem to be rather, shall we say, bashful.  All of these "individuals"
also have similar characteristics.  The most outstanding of these though is
a lack of authenticity.  It has led some to speculate and largely accept
that in several cases the same person is writing, using different names.

One characteristic that I note in several persons is a willingness to take
and state positions with little or no evidence.  You do that very thing
above and frankly it does not make you look good.  But that is not my
problem.

Another characteristic is an intense interest, almost an obsession with the
personal lives of other posters.  Perhaps that explains the reluctance of
these "individuals" including yourself.

Another characteristic is a kind of paranoid fear that others are somehow
breaking into computers other than their own.  For example, the first time
I'd ever seen a post from you, you ranted on and on about this very thing.
I still have no idea about what you were talking, and I'm beginning to
wonder if you do either.  You don't seem inclined to explain.

Oh, well.  Enjoy.
