Dear Mr. Barna,


You seem to have some trouble understanding how the different services
of an Internet Service Provider are operated.

We at Ping do *not* censor any unfavourable messages posted in our
user-newsgroups nor anywhere else on our newsserver. I think that you
can find enough examples proving that by checking the different
postings made over the last days.

As your account has been blocked for the reasons we are all aware off,
this actually entails that with that account you temporarily have no
access to our services. This includes our POP-network, but also our
mailservers, and also our newsserver. That is the reason why you could
not post your messages, not because we are blocking any messages from
you personally.

Altough I understand that you are upset because of the viewpoint we
take in regard to our policy announcement, I would like to ask you to
verify your comments before you post them.

Sincerely,

Geert DeBecker
