I called verizon. Answer was a recording referring the case to secur...@verizon.net from which I hav received no response (AFAIK, postmaster@ serves the same purpose at any other ISP). I also called Jeremy Hanson's phone number at 562-431-7852. Yet another answering machine. I left a message explaining that I want to talk to Jeremy Hanson about wikipedia edits that violate editorial policy, plus my phone number and e-mail address. I have not verified that police action follows from our definition of vandalism (which probably doesn't need definition, because it is never as careful as graffiti). When I checked the state laws of Virginia, vandalism was about archaeology. "Don't wreck the art. Don't break or advertize on the stalactites". I would follow up with a call to police, and I did, and I had to retract my statement, because I could not back up what Fran Rogers was saying with *links* to what is stale data on checkuser pages. I will keep digging after my beer. While verizon's terms of service forbid "unwanted communication", I hav gotten no response from them via any channel, and I hav tried all of those listed on a whois search. You might want to list verizon in a LONG-TERM ABUSE case for not enforcing their TOS or AUP. Let me know exactly when or where that is. _______ [[user_talk:brewh...@edmc.net|Is now open, thanks.]] [http://www.ecn.ab.ca/~brewhaha/Privileged%20Information%20for%20Newbies.HTM]
