Tough.  Read Shaw's terms of use - bet it allows them
to do that.  So, you just changed internet providers,
not volunarily, but you're still posting to wpg.general.
See you've already found anpther ISP and I bet there are 
others that'll be glad to take your money and give 
you an account.  I trust that if you had Shaw cable you 
cancelled.  Would be silly on your side to still keep 
Shaw cable after they turfed you from their ISP.

I know where you live.  Your detrcators have posted
your address often enough, and that's something no one
on this new group ought to have found out.  Anyways,
you're not that far from the law courts.  I'm surprized
that you haven't grazed in the files there.  3 of your
detractors are in those files.
