A while back, when Vince first started advertizing his site, I asked him a few hypothetical questions, and he said roughly this: If client X posts something to Usenet from Vince's site, and if Y dislikes X's article so much that he mailbombs X, then Vince would pull X's plug. (I have the exact quote saved.) I lost interest right then. I'm not surprised that Vince acted dishonorably by pulling a client's plug with no warning for a very flimsy reason.
That question was about commercial ads, and I said "As long as I am not mailbombed I don't care about how you post.". I did *not* say I would pull the plug (full exchange below). From your other questions it looked like there was no chance of you being a customer so I did not fully explain. I have been mailbombed around a dozen times in the last year and never cut anyone off. Details below (I too have the exact quote)... Dimitri:
e) to spam usenet with commercial ads.
Vince:
e) I think you would have to spam more than 100 groups to get my system mail bombed. As long as I am not mailbombed I don't care about how you post.
First, yes, that 100 groups is off the wall. What I meant was you can send out commercial ads and I don't care at all. If you get mailbombed, that is another issue. If mailbombed then it goes toward your traffic. You get 100 MB/month of traffic with a domain name, and if you go over that amount of traffic the cost is $1/MB. If you have prepaid by check, and I don't know who you are, and your account goes below $0, I would cut you off till more money came in. Sorry for not explaining that. -- Vince ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Vincent Cate vince@offshore.com.ai http://www.offshore.com.ai/vince/ Offshore Information Services http://www.offshore.com.ai/
