The Portal can't be held responsible for what goes out of their system, but they're responsible for how they followup when one of their users, er, uh, f-x up. I think they've done fine, considering the circumstances. Hopefully ncoast will handle the situation appropriately, and will post a proper net map entry (with an electronic tip of my hat to Mr. Eric Fair :-). Now, as for JJ, I hope the IRS catches up to you, for starters. They're always *real* interested in people who suddenly accumulate money. Perhaps the (fictional?) school you go to should get wind of this mess you have made for yourself, as well - it doesn't reflect well on them. I have my own long drawn out college student story, complete with a really serious student loan payback situation that I need to take care of. I'm taking time off of school to work, and am learning all kinds of things at Island that I'd never learn at school, bla bla bla. The point is that there are *thousands* of us on the net that have to put of our "official" college education for a while, in order to deal with "real life" (food, rent, and so on). You sure didn't present your cause effectively, or to the right audience!

Well, it is a whole lot easier than that. Just put an ad in the classifieds of Soldier of Fortune. That ought to generate some persons interested in the "rmuser" procedure. Of course it will cost.. so if you just all send a dollar to this p.o. box..... ;-) --Don't even reply..it is not worth it! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- + uop!todd@uunet.uu.net + + cogent!uop!todd@lll-winken.arpa + + {backbone}!ucbvax!ucdavis!uop!todd + -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Do everybody a favor and, if you absolutely HAVE TO post on subjects you know nothing about, read up on them first. The legal concept of trust may be based on the concept of trusting someone, but that's about all. You can't sue someone for breach of trust because you can't trust him. Sheesh!

He/She might have an account on M-Net, or Igloo or ddsw1, or any number of systems. That's what *PUBLIC* access is all about.
