I would have this suggestion to you: Stop seeing RAO as your turf or
whatever it is you may see it as that leads you to think you should (or
could, for that matter) restrict a given persons right to express this or
that opinion, no matter how obnoxious that set of opinions might be to
you. That kind of position is against the whole logic of usenet.


Fella,
I respectfully disagree with you. This thread was started by the
person I believe to be Dr. Richard Graham, not me.

I am not talking about this particular thread but the whole conflict.


If usenet can tolerate an
anonymous shill, then it can certainly tolerate me.

Usenet is not an entity, just this distributed tool kind of a thing, it
doesn't tolerate to begin with (of course you know this, couldn't
resist). My position is that *you two* don't have to tolerate each other.

I don't believe in
surrendering a public resource to bad guys. To me, the issue is not about
"tweaks." The issue is that I believe this person is trying to cheat the
public, by habituating readers of r.a.o. to an identity that hides his
financial relationship with PWB Electronics.

If SHP really was Richard Graham what you say might have some legitimacy
but since I beleive he is not I see no problem with him talking about
the cream, foil, whatever.

And for the record, I see anonimity as a legitimate choice one has a
right to make, especially in the usenet. I think that these discussion
groups are a ground for the exchange of POV's, info, etc, between given
personalities, characters, etc, and *they* stay the same, *they* make up
the identity, regardless of what the handle claims about the identity.
So a persons first last names are, for me, secondary and even
unnecessary info.


I would like to evaluate the information you have mentioned, but I would
appreciate a link.


Robert, you are going to have to do your own work on that. You know the
link to the PWB site. From that site there is a link to the PWB yahoo
group and in that group you can search them messages and find your dude.
I did not bookmark that particular message anyways...
