Bzzzzt. Wrong again, Kenny Padgett. Oooops, sorry, silly me, I meant
"Red E Kilowatt". He, and anyone else, has the right to post whatever
they damn well want. It doesn't have to fit in with *your* definition
of spamming to be spam. It doesn't have to fit with your definition of
stalking to be stalking. And, forgive me if I'm wrong, but last time I
heard laws were *regional*, so just who's laws are you going to put up
as being the criteria?

But Kenny, that was your position in this group for *years*. Remember,
buddy, Google is your friend. I know you've been frantically cancelling
posts in an attempt to rewrite history, but that doesn't work for
people *quoting* your posts, old boy! Even as far back as 2000 you were
lording it in here, telling everyone what your definition of spamming
was and woe betide anyone who breaks the rules!

Okay, I'll leave it at this. Its entirely accurate that you're a
hypocritical twat, since everything you're complaining of here is
exactly the conduct you engage in yourself. Hmmm, yeah, I'm completely
confident of the accuracy of that )
