J.P.

Oh my.... is that spam? From Supernews? How can it be?

It can't possibly be posted each week, and not related to the messages in
the newsgroup can it?

I don't understand how Supernews can let such a spammer go unchecked and
unfiltered and unblocked?

They must be getting money as a kickback!


For shame!

Yes, you are correct, Mike. Ron has that Amazon icon linked to the book
he and Sally co-wrote. Also, the icon to LVS Online is helpful to drum
up business, since he teaches there. Obviously, Supernews does support
this type of spam.

He (Ron) and his brother (Dave) takes turns posting it. Supernews, in my
mind, doesn't have issues with spam. They only act when others complain
about it, even if it's not spam.

I don't believe they get a kickback. That would not look good for
Critical Path.

Uni

You're probably right... no kickback... but it sure likes they are getting
something out of the deal.

So selective enforcement of an arbitrary rule, based upon whim?

Hmmm, sounds like what I have been writing about for a few days now.

What is an outsourcing account like that worth? Couple thousand a month?

And the spammer is who exactly?

The only deal they get, is the ISP Ron uses, outsources Supernews news.
Unfortunately, I just heard Supernews lost an outsourcing account to
Giganews. Not sure why, but, obviously, someone wasn't too happy with them.

Regards,
Uni

I guess the cost would depend on the size of the ISP that they were
outsourcing to. Say a small local ISP in a 100,000 population city...with
many ISP's in town... I wonder what that would cost.

Maybe it depends on the number of subscribers that the ISP has. Maybe they
give price breaks for large ISPs and not so good a price for smaller ISPs.

Or does it run the other direction? Maybe the more subscribers the ISP has
the more it costs to get a news subscriber? Larger ISPs eat up more of the
resources of the news provider.

You?

Actually, I missed this link on Ron's site to:
http://www.friendsofed.com/books//

I no longer see a link to Jasc software, though. Maybe it's because, as
Ron said himself, the Paint Shop Pro community is dying.

Regards,
Uni

Actually, Ron said this:

Actually, when an outsourcer sells news from their source cheaper than
the source, it goes to show you how much they, the source, marks-up
their prices.

Personally, I would never buy news from an ISP who offers outsourced
news. You'll end up within a ping pong game, one service pointing
fingers at another, like John experienced:

John wrote:

Ouch. Sort of a "price leader" item to get people to sign up with the ISP.

Making fun of the dead is alway fun.

By the way...I'm dead.

Now, now, Mike, let's not make fun.

Actually, Paint Shop Pro 7 did pretty well:
http://community.webshots.com/photo/38859810/118879751QdfdDW

However, ever since Jasc hired Kris, their software has gone to pot. I
have read enough people claim they won't be upgrading to Paint Shop Pro
8, because it's very difficult to learn, offers little new features and
no one likes the out of the box interface. And, what a deal you get, a 5
year old version of Animation Shop, included.

Regards,
Uni

The bad part is, the ISP (reseller) can limit access, limit throughput,
limit connections and even provide additional filtering. So, as you can
see, why and how ISPs offer the lower prices. With an ISP usenet
reseller, you're getting secondhand usenet news.

Regards,
Uni

It depends on the burden the ISP places on the NSP. The greater the
burden, the higher the cost. I'm certain deals are made where, if you,
the ISP, lessens the burden on the NSP, the NSP will drop their prices.
Typically business deals, nothing new.

Uni

One last word. I do not believe Easynews outsources their service. This
may be why I get a faster, more dependable connection with them, as I do
with Supernews.

Uni

huh?

Artist Mike said he was blocked

There's no way for anyone but Artist Mike to know if he's blocked or not.
If he says he's blocked, I'll believe him.

I'll have a look to see why he might be blocked. Have a look at this
URL...

<URL:http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?q=+%22hire+an+artist
%22+author:mike%40artistmike.com&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>

.... which clearly shows that Artist Mkie made very many posts with
nothing but the words "Hire an artist to do it for you" plus his
commercial sig.

So, I think that's good enough for a user to be tossed, and I know that
even Altopia would have TOSsed him for that. So far I have no reason to
think that Artist Mike isn't blocked, that's what he says after all.

Turns out that maybe *he* isn't blocked, but his spammy URl is filtered,
and that Artist Mike is either too fucking dumb to know the difference,
or not interested and just wants to spread FUD.

Now we've got that cleared up, let's talk about the forgeries. Artist
Mike says he wans't spamming and he wwasn't trolling and a whole bunch of
posts were made with his URL in and those forgeries are why he was
blocked.


If someone posts a forgery their account is blocked. Not the account
that was forged. This has been stated many times. What don't you
understand about this?

So, if Artist Mike got blocked it is because Artist Mike posted
something.

If Bob(a made up name) posted a bunch of forgeries, Bob would be blocked,
not Artist Mike.

This is easy to understand. Your continued vociferous defence of a long
running Usenet spammer *stinks*.

Artist Mike is clearly a spamming trolling nymshift lying fuckwit.
AFAIAC SN can do what they like to Artist Mike. If you don't like it
don't use SN and try to persuade your ISP to not use SN. (Be careful
what you wish for, the Demon.uk newsserver is known for being bad.)

Ha, the silly spammer believes a silly little runt like Turd.

ha what a classic. Turd says something, and Silly Spammer
believes him. You two deserve each other. You are so silly
little runt buddies.

btw. a complain is needed, but they need a basis to block
someone. It is done impersonally, acting on legit complaints.

Christy btw. evidence of your spam is everywhere. Even up
Turd's arse.

So you expect no problems with abuse departments acting to
block your messages? ha!

Spammers like you are like rats needing to keep running from one
temporary haven to another.

You forgot to use the word moron. Willem really likes that word. He
mentions it all the time. But he is a moron apologist for a spammer named
ArtistMike. Isn't he Mikey.

LMFAO

Like that is not another lie. You couldn't shut up if they superglued your
mouth shut.

4:30 in the morning luzer and still posting lies. Pathetic.

Post edit this one. I am telling you to post edit now. You cannot help
yourself.

I believe the answer to that question is ArtistMike. ArtistMike is a
spamming luzer fuckwit who has been filtered and then blocked by
Supernews (way to go Supernews). But then simple google of ArtistMike
provides a plethora of examples of the spammer tactics used by
ArtistMike.

Keith.

If you think that I've given something away, or lost something, or anything
like that, then fine, I have no problem with that, since no one of
consequence will agree with you (I don't even understand what you think
I've been "busted" about). So, can we agree to just drop it now?

It's fun to see him dance.

Uni

Yes you have.

You need people "of consequence" to back you up against an
ordinary poster with a question? Very funny, considering the
quality of the posts of those you surround yourself with in
this group and who "agree" with you.

Yes I had already dropped it yesterday for the time being so
you are free to drop it too. Wait, am I of enough
"consequence" to set you free? Haha.

I thank Supernews for your professional and courteous
attitude while all the name calling like "Liar" was going
on. Who was that again? Never mind. Everyone can tell that
YOU are a person "of consequence"! ;-)

WJ

No, just spam

And as the 'Tard sinks slowly into the sunrise, thus ends another day
of its obsession with the Olsen twins. I am guessing that obsession is
waning now that they are no longer prepubescent.

It seems a more than a little wound up trying to refute you there DE,
resorting to its lame frogging again. Wonder why that is? Wonder why
the 'Tard is so afraid to frog anyone with its Supernews account?
Probably because it is afraid to lose ANOTHER Supernews account. Hee
Hee.

John Henry forwarded your UniCoward=ArtistMike the Spammer message
into sn.general for all of them to laugh at also. Yesterday was a
really bad day for the 'Tard. Everyday for people who deal in "Pretty
Little Girl Pictures" should be rough.

I guess that explains a lot about its reactions to the UFFs posts
about Mike Horwath. Wonder how the UFF feels about the 'Tard now, you
think they appreciate its support of them? They seem to take a very
dim view of people who traffic in material about children. I guess
only time will tell.

Now let's have some LAME post edits 'Tard or maybe some LAME snip and
run? Why not a whole new bunch of frogs based on people who slap you
around in the paint shop pro group. Just about everyone of its LAME
nym shifts are frogs of people who beat it mercilessly in
news:alt.binaries.paint-shop-pro. Wonder if they appreciate their nyms
being used to disrupt other newsgroups. Just in case they did not know
what UniTard/ArtistMike were doing with their nyms, all the following
nyms have been used by UniTard/ArtistMike for disruption of other
newsgroups:

Continued applause DE for your fine sleuth job. You have the 'Tard
spinning in circles. I see serious kooking on its horizon as it tries
to perform damage control. I also see mass quanities of post edited
sock and frog screed.

They'll be 18 and therefore "legal" in a couple of months, thus losing
their attraction for the likes of the 'Tard. They also make way more
money in a year than 'Tard will ever see in a lifetime.

Just so you are up to date. Prices have actually gone up a little.

The samples do the job just fine. There is no need to update the samples
that often.

People get an idea of the style, and the level of quality and they make
their decision. Some people like them, some don't.

It has been that way since 1999 when I started.

Mark, sounds like your client is trying to get around buying a call list,
but I think he would end up losing time and money taking this route. Seems
to me he'd end up with tons of pure junk data; and completely unqualified
at that; and his telesales person would spend hours on bad information and
calling people who have absolutely no interest, unless he has something that
every man, woman and child can use and afford.

He's probably better off finding a reputable list seller.

inez

You are a living example of exactly that.

Oh, did you just discover the cheap IKYABWIA lame, or is it an old habit
that only impresses the noobies who aren't aware of your failed wannabe
troll movements(*) in the PSP groups, mr Mike "ARTIST" :-)))
