I suspect that the Internet has been used and is being used to spread false statements about me. If you see any news messages that make any statements about me, please forward a copy of the message to me, or let me know where to find it. I think I have the right to know.. For the last two years, I have been subjected to constant harassment due to slander. My reputation and my life have been destroyed. Please help me put an end to the slander.

[this is a good discussion, but we should move this out of general]
Sorry, Mr. Kaye, but you may be the one being naive. You don't have
to be well-known to have problems because of this type of garbage.
Several years back, as an undergrad, a hack here managed to break into
several people's accounts, including mine, and sent rude and insulting
messages from them. One guy I knew asked me what was up with the
insults I was sending. I didn't know what he was talking about and
didn't think about a security problem. It wasn't until a couple of
years later that I ran into someone else who told me several people he
knew (whom I didn't know) never really found out about the break-in
but thought I was a jerk because they had gotten ugly messages.
I don't know what other people think, but I consider myself someone
who intends to have a career on these machines, a "computing
professional" if you will. As such, I spend more time on the net than
most of the population (even most tech. professionals), and I expect
my colleagues and associates in my field to do the same.
Consequently, if I want a higher "hit ratio" for topics I want to
discuss with others, I go to net instead of U.S. mail or the
telephone. So, for me, my net.personality is a non-trivial part of my
reputation since it's highly likely many people I have to deal with
are here.

I have found that the commercial heavy foil that is gold in color
on one side is best for keeping out the harmful Xanthaxian beans and
rays. The amazing thing is that of you keep the gold on the outside,
you'll receive the radio signals from Trantor.
Elvis was doing a duet with Marilyn last night, and they were
simply DIVINE!
WOOF.
