Go **** yourself


I've reported this impersonater to hotmail, but who knows if they will do
anything about it.

Hopefully, anyone who has read my posts in the r.a.* newsgroups over the
years, knows that I don't use language like this.

You need to report him to Google as it looks like that is where he was
posting from.

Yes, I did that as well as soon as I looked at the full header. Thanks.

Looks like the fake MW is jeopardizing his dial-up Internet account. I
didn't think anyone in the US used dial-up anymore, what with cheap
broadband almost ubiquitous.

Not everybody lives in the city, even some that do prefer the cheaper
dialup vs the more expensive always on...

WiFi holds the most potential for broadband if you have line of sight...

Cheap? Not here!

Still, to use dial up, means that you don't get to use much of the Internet,
because of the speed. (or lack there of)

Yep. Just a harvesting spoof.

"Cheap" broadband costs twice what dial-up does. In addition, rural telcom
networks usually can't handle DSL and those same areas are likely to be outside
the cable service areas. That leaves satellite, which has it's own set of
problems (including the cost).

Verizon DSL just dropped their ~760 KB/sec download speed to $14.95/month.
For those dial-up customers, including the fake MW out of the Virginia/DC
metro area, who live in a DSL-served area, there is now no excuse to remain
with dial up.

Verizon FiOS (fiber optic broadband, to which I just started subscribing)
is being rolled out nationwide. When it is complete, expect to see cable
broadband come down to remain competitive, since they really cannot raise
download speeds tremendously to compete. There was also a rumor that
Verizon FiOS will offer a 1 MB/s download speed for $9.99/month to grab
local dial-up customers.

Yes, I am aware that there are many out in the boonies that will never see
cable, DSL, or fiber broadband. My original comments were actually meant
as a dig only to the fake MW who thought he was being totally anonymous,
but I see that I could have worded it a little better.
