Dial-up is the only choice for anyone in this area (& in DW> many others). And here. I have a static IP address on a dialup ISDN. I have been running my own mail server for my own domain (silverstones.com) for nearly 8 years now. I have been a computer communications professional for 18 years. Suddenly I'm being told "If you don't like our rules, then go find your own Internet. We were here before you." and "You are just another bozo clueless home hobbist among a veritable sea of them. Why don't you just go away now and leave the running of the Internet to the professionals. (You clearly aren't one of us.)". This is Ron Guilmette's way of explaining why the blacklists can do as they please and why he considers that there is no possibility that I know what I am doing, his evidence being that I only have a dialup connection. This was an argument about a proxy server that was open for a couple of days before I correctly re-configured it. Without any help from him or anyone else. These extracts from his last couple of communications were the clean bits. He takes "rude" into a whole new dimension! There really should be some way of letting him know that, no, actually this is *our* Internet and if he wants to play god he will have to find somewhere else to do it. But more and more ISPs use blacklists and even SpamCop uses his Monkeys.com open relay blacklist :-(((. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/7 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+Y0JxOeQkq5KdzaARArIlAKCKxQK+7hAkNmXZLmsDtU4JA20AkgCfX3yF IJThXMc0GJO8BqF/XtmPan4= =F/6n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
