Are you sure, BD? I'll show you my hand, before you place your bet.
It's in the "Is MBAM is a 100% safe application. He's a small snippet
of your post: (I'm showing you my cards, so you know i'm not bluffing):

"Whilst I can (and have) registered again under another name, I'd
prefer to have my ban rescinded and revert to being BD."
"How would you feel about putting in a good word for me, Dustin?"

Don't play games with me ****stick, I play to win.

I'm waiting.

We all do. Not everyone is an admitted cybercriminal tho; all the while
pretending to be a "good guy". Laughable, and stupid of you.

Hackers are generally only very weakly motivated by conventional
rewards such as social approval or money. They tend to be attracted by
challenges and excited by interesting toys, and to judge the interest
of work or other activities in terms of the challenges offered and the
toys they get to play with.

Just in case my other post didn't make it. You said the following in
the message-id post I'm writing about..

"Whilst I can (and have) registered again under another name, I'd
prefer to have my ban rescinded and revert to being BD. How would you
feel about putting in a good word for me, Dustin?"

usenet's a double edged sword, ****head. Especially for those of us
running our own servers. *grin*. I tell you what, I'll even give you
the threads name; so you can go have a quick read at what you wrote;
as.. well, I've got you, ****er. <G>

"Is MBAM is a 100% safe application?"

> I will respond to you IDC, Dustin.

I'm looking forward to reading your excuse for commiting criminal
computer trespass and abuse of services. Surely you have a good and
noble reason to abuse malwarebytes in such a fashion?

100% correct! Here's a positive reference so there can be *no* dispute.

You obviously have the same problem as Foldes in getting a Message ID
from your personal server!

You 'forgot' to mention the other part of that post, in which I said ...

"I genuinely felt (still feel) that the picture I posted was in no way
pornographic and *was* meant simply in fun - *not* intended to be
offensive.

It was also in the Honorary Members group which is not, as far as I'm
aware, accessible by the general public or children."

Now Mr Cook, if you review recent correspondence between us, you will
determine that I had not denied I made that comment. You interpreted
things that way! When you eventually understand that I tell the truth,
we'll get on fine, I'm sure!

I happened across this item too, whilst searching for that message ID.

Thank you. What you say holds no surprises!

You sound much like the cyber-friend I made on the Kaspersky forums!
P2U is/was Dutch, Married to a Russian woman and lives(d) in Moscow. I
'met' him on the Kaspersky forums after I had bought KAV7 a few years
ago. Amongst other things he specialised in computer forensics and was
trying to help me investigate how 'bad guys' do things.

Here is a past PM conversation:

QUOTE (by me! BD)

If I type http://www.annex.com into IE7, my AOL browser or Firefox - it
works as expected (or should I say as I might expect?).
I wouldn't be surprised if you told me something was not quite right,
even at first base!

I understand that googlesyndication and google-analytics are there
asking to execute scripts and to drop cookies, but what the **** are
live.com and msn.com doing there?!?

OK. I'll register later today as p2u. I have to go and see a student
right now. I'll be back in an hour or three.

Hi, Dave!

Yes, I owe you an explanation, but I couldn't find the strength to write
you about it. At the end of last year, I was diagnosed with a swelling
in the pancreatic area. I've been through hell all this time. Life
expectancy is not much; at most 2 years. The problem is that the
swelling was benign, but is turning into a malignant one. An operation
means almost certain death. I'm not afraid of dying, not for myself - I
just wonder how my little son is going to take this.
I hope you understand, that in such a state of mind I'm not eager at all
to communicate with anyone. This is nothing personal. I hope you
understand that. That's also the reason why I rarely appear on this
forum - the 'how-are-you' stuff scares me. I don't know how I am and why
this is happening to me...
Kind regards,
Paul

refer. I seek only the truth.

I had hoped you would take the place of Paul, Dustin - simply check.

I've not heard from him since, btw. He had a two year old son.

Foldes reckons that it's my client that's at fault. He's such a ****ing
expert that he just *has* to be right,

If his posts aren't wrapping in your client, it must definitely be the
fault of this here Pan 0.133 I'm running here.

Don't blame Foldes, blame me.

PF posted in OE-specific QP which OE-QP is not compatible with much of
anything besides OE. If you look at his message source you can see the
structure.

OE's QP should not be used in 'mixed company' - that is it should not be
used in such as newsgroup conversations where various agents are being
used. Instead it should only be used where one OE user is conversing
with another OE user.

Dustin's newsreader was Xnews.

You damned Americans! ;-)

Aardy was being sarcastic, Mike!

You probably know that, really, eh?

Sarcasm, facetiousness, TIC tongueincheek - doesn't communicate
particularly well in this medium.

One strategy is to delimit with sarcasm/TIC on and sarcasm off markers.

I suspect that Aard and PF have conversed about this subject before, but
I wasn't an observer for that, or if I were, I don't recall it.

If they did converse, I'm sure it resulted in PF recommending that
everyone get a newsreader which works just like OE.

Hahaha!

Btw, I don't know about the 'markers' you mentioned.

There are switches to turn on and off a quote <q> </q> which can also be
used to turn on and off sarcasm or TIC tongueincheek <TIC> </TIC>.

Of course, I also believe that you can't just use TIC or even OMG omigod
on the assumption that everyone knows what that means.

I beieve that ambiguity and other lack of clarity and understanding are
a big big problem in this type of medium exchange, and so therefore
everyone should go to a little extra trouble to make themselves
perfectly clear.

It isn't that much trouble to spellout some quaint abbreviation, such as
IAWTP Iagreewiththispost
