<sigh>, i thought we had disposed of this pinhead...

here we go again...  this is the pctv-1004 card available
at compusa and from DAMARK mailorder for $99.  this 
bozo has been posting this same friggin add for months.
i sent mail to the admins at his last site, and apparently
he got his wrists slapped, or his account yanked.  now he
has moved on to another institution willing to give out accounts
to college students.  he was automatically posting his
previous ad every three days or so into about 40 newsgroups.

while i don't mind students making a buck, i don't appreciate
them using college resources to run a retail business
over Usenet.  i admin and teach at two local colleges, 
and this abuse really gets my goat.  if he wants to 
post in the biz.* groups, that would be more appropriate.
i am also tired of paying to receive his articles from 
my feed site, alot of us pay by the minute to receive news.

is anyone needs the number for damark and the part # for
the pctv board, send me mail..  if you notice, he forwards
the follow-ups to test groups so we don't flame him...  i
know he has seen my follow-ups before...

asshole.

bill.
