With this and the previous response to Mr. Sternlight from Netom, this matter is for now laid to rest.

I mailed a complaint to netcom support. At the suggestion of the netcom support person I spoke to on the phone, I sent a copy to the user in question as well.

That user posted a copy of the complaint to a newsgroup without my permission. This is, of course, a violation of my copoyright. Thus he has compounded his violation of RSADSI's patent in PGP with a violation of my copyright in my e-mail.

By trying to make what should be a private matter between the user and netcom support, and myself and netcom support into a public cause celebre, and generate pressure mail on netcom support such as that below, I believe the user in question has further violated his agreement, and request netcom to take appropriate action. This time I have a personal interest in seeing this resolved.

Postng another person's email, while annoying, is not necessarily a violation of copyright in our eyes. Again, we have no intention of taking action at this time; if you want to pursue the matter legally, then have your lawyer talk to him. ___________________________________________________________________________ Support support@netcom.com Technical Support Staff NETCOM On-line Communication Services
