Oh, this is good. You have, of course, gotten a copy of my password file, ignored the other entries in it, and have decided that this is a single user node. This is really rich. Either that, or you have been so blinded by your tremendous responsibility of running a hub that you no longer think that any other activity can be considered 'admin'. > >> the uucp community of Ontario is about to suffer a very large hit on their > >> connectivity. > > > > The entire UUCP community just has, too. > > they have not had a hit on their connectivity. > > they have just had their greed checked. Well, then, the same thing applies to the UUCP community of Ontario. By the way, I find it quite interesting that you, who is the strongest voice claiming that transfer of files via email, even to a user who has asked for those files, is WRONG and is an abuse of the net, would start transferring files to this site, by mail, without request. That you, who has the central hub for Ontario, with multiple links and multimegabyte spool space, and who wants nobody to transfer files through HIS system, would start trying to send them to a small site with one link and limited space. Does this fall under your definition of cooperation, Mr. Mercer? Mail bombing a site you don't like is your idea of consideration? Your actions speak louder than your words. You are abusing the mail system at this site, Mr. Mercer. This is not some generic claim that all file transfers are an abuse, it is a specific one based on your direct actions and this site in particular.
