Yes... I do know that Just In could sue my ass...
But lets see just what he would get from my ass...
The State Attorney General for New York has been filing papers on me for
years for not paying my hospital bill... And every summer since 1995 they
have been sending me the Summons To Appear In State Court to answer
the charge of not payment to my hospital bill... I simply toss that CR*P
into the trash can and never bother to attend. And then i have a few
dozen bill collectors that have summoned me to court... I do likewise...
Toss their summones into the trash heap. By now 06/04/2001 i could
really wallpaper every inch of where i live and then some...
BUT Just In would want to get some money from me...
OK... This is what Just In would get from me...
The courts can't even get it from me... So i suppose Just In would have
a little better luck...
In NEW YORK STATE at least this happens....
My income is less than 15,000 per year... And my income is SSD
To someone NOT in the USA that means Social Security Dissability Income.
So now this is what Just In would get in a court of law...
And most likely i wouldn't bother to attend it... $0.00
WHY... Any income that you get from Welfare, Workmans Comp, SSD, SSI,
Social Security up to $15,000 per year can not be touched [pay creditors or
being SUED]
SO Just In would pay big money... And in Australia that is about DOUBLE
what us USA people pay for a lawyer... ONLY to end up with $0.00
Is not exactly what i would call very smart. What would be smarter thing
would be for me to send Just In ohhhhh..... $2.00 USA = about $1.00 Australian
money and he could bet the horses or the kangaroos or something... And if
it comes out the winner... Keep the cash.

Ohhh.... I forgot to mention here... Everytime i get these notices...
I've called up the lawyers that want to put me on BANKRUPCY...
And i ask them... And in the USA you can get a FREE 1st consoltation...
Well... That is what all of them have told me right along...
My income is too low for the state or the creditors or anyone [included
people sueing my butt] to collect anything.
SO yes... I'll be nice and very kind and give Just In some $$ and he can
wager it or invest it in Stocks or something... If he makes a killing...
HE gets to keep the cash. The most i could possibly help him out with is
about $10.00 = about $5.00 Australian money.

Some of you might not believe this..
But there are a few programs that do just what you are asking for in here.
A few of them are SHAREWARE and most of them are FREEWARE.
And my best source for these types of offbeat programs that may be anything
from today =new to about 7 years ago has been http://www.zdnet.com
as they have the largest of all programs in existance next to
http://www.simtel.net
NOTE = Both of these 2 have been in existance since at least 1990 or longer.
BUT ZDNET used to be known in the oldie days as
Ziff Davis Publishing and on the internet they are known as ZDNET...

Well... That You-Know-Who part... Ok... I'm going to make it
official... I'm ADAPTING Just In AS MY INTERNET BROTHER...
And you know how some brothers are... FIGHT Like Cats And Dogs...
Will... I'll Fight Just In & He will Fight me... and together we can all
have one hell of a good laugh seeing all the other DUMBASSES have a tiff
over us INTERNET BROTHERS having a good go at each other.
That should make for some interesting reading in here... Right...
So if you are ready BROTHER Just In... Say your first naughty word
to me and please make it something sort of nice... Don't want to
shock the hell out of everyone here just yet.
Ohhhh..... and so i don't have some IDIOT say that this is completely
off topic of pertaining to AW... Lets fight over what object it should
be... I'll choose the SIGN5.RWX one & you choose something else...
At least it'll be something about AW and EEP can't scream OFF TOPIC lol

Youmean i can't post as crappy as all of you people can post? The CAPS
do draw attention to certain parts of that thing.
And as for a spell checker... Hmmmm.... Tried that and after
several days of teaching it not to give me the entire dictionary for a name
like GKIEFFER [best spell checked answer go, goto, goop, gasp, great...etc]
for the first letter of GKIEFFER i turned the blasted thing off.
It's stayed off ever since.

Hey Goober... For once you are very smart... That is the same feelings
i have when people try to filter & block me... BUT at least now it's
your turn to see how it is.... Really funny isn't it...
Heheheheeee!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!! lol!!!!!!!

I don't really care either.
And so i keep right on going & going & going & going [like that little

Jun 6, 2001, 3:39am

While Chucks Party prefers to BLOCK & FILTER people here...
I don't block & filter anyone here...
WHY you might ask? Because even an IDIOT can say someething good
sometimes... And i do love to see what that might be if & when it ever
occurs... For most people here... Well...
For a few people here... They have had the most consistancy of saying
something halfway decent and meaningful most of the times...
STRANGE as this might be... But the people that have the best to say...
ACCORDING TO MY IDEAS & OPINIONS... ARE:::
JFK2 [i must be one in there], Chucks Party, Kellee, AND believe it or
not... THE FINAL ONE that has the most meaningful posts is...


JUST IN

Who died and made me god [This little thing my nextdoor neighbor keeps
telling me in my running bbs door game of Yankee-Traders... Who died
WEll... Everyone after i killed them oa off... That's who]
BUT in this Newsgroups... Who got fed up with the way things are running
and made me MODERATOR? Well... No one i think.
But this is COMMUNITY listing. And if my memmory serves me well from
doing all the past bbsing & i was System Admin of my own [TINY BBS} and
co-system admin of many... In their messages forums COMMUNITY was just
another word for GENERAL DISCUSSIONS... And since this is about AW...
All the GENERAL DISCUSSIONS [COMMUNITY DISCUSSIONS] should at least
have some revelance to AW in some way. So posting something about
BOTS like my Xylgot bot i use sometimes & my Build Bot i use too And
my Preston MUSIC PLAYING BOT that some people in this newsgroup
have seen recently in AW...is the correct post for this COMMUNITY DISCUSSION
if it pertains to AW in some way. That is what a COMMUNITY or GENERAL
DISCUSSION area is all about. To discuss everything and even the off topic
stuff if part of that in some way pertains to AW. True there is a BOT thing
and the question should be asked in there... BUT the COMMUNITY or GENERAL
DISCUSSION area is for ANYTHING that PERTAINS TO AW IN SOME WAY.

So if the COMMUNITY or GENERAL DISCUSSION in here turns into
How to tell Australian Times as compared to USA times... But has no value
to AW... [PS... Please email me that answer Kellee or Just In as i have
many friends who live in Australia]
SNEAKY WAY TO GET THAT IN THERE lol
Then it should not be discussed in the community areas of AW newsgroups.
Now if that was How to tell Australian time & USA time as compared to
VRT time [VRT Time IS AW stuff] Then that would be allowed.

SEE... I'm not even an AW STAFF person & i understand what should be &
what should not be in here better than 95% of the idiots that are in here.

Look.... If i was some 10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17, yr old kid looking for
SMUT... I certainly would NOT go looking for it in AW.
It's too hard to find in here. Yes there are a few places you can
find SMUT... But my interpretation of SMUT is nude sexually pleasing
PICTURES of ladies or men... And AW or for that matter ANY OF THE
UNIVERSES ARE THE WRONG PLACE TO LOOK...

I would use mommy's or daddy's newsgroups server provider ad do a serch
for MALE NUDES or FEMALE NUDES and see what pops up.
Or maybe this FREE NEWS SERVERS = FREE NEWSGROUPS
and look for alt.binaries.pictires.erotica.[i would go for the males &
someone else the ladies after this part] and download all the SMUT
i ever want. Well.... To my way of thinking... It's NOT SMUT unless it
is about nude women... THEN IT IS THE WORST SMUT ON THIS WORLD
but anything about NUDE GUYS... Ahhhhh... Such wonderful works of
grand mastered art it is.

n a y R... Where are you?... You are wanted to show people how to do a
town. You have lots of experiance. AND if you need to... Please send
us all your pictures you have of your OCEAN CITY in Alpha World...
Ohhh... He can also help you with worlds... He has his own world
called ORYAN on Dreamland Park Universe... I'll pop in there
soon And GRAM n a y R to pop back in here and help teach everyone at
the university. He has lots of experiance & LOTS OF PICTURES TOO...

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

OK... To be really serious here... I'll forget n a y R... BUT as far
as setting up a world & running a world... As much as i would like to
say my friend Chucks Party... I would have to let that honors go to a
teacher here who would have a better understanding on how to set up a
world & running it & world paths...
That TEACHER here in my opinion is
JUST IN = Broadway World
And i trust you won't need a ZILLION pictures to proove it either...
Remember n a y R any one? And all of his pic's?

Goober... I see your good intentions... But they might be a waste
as you did give everyone a chance to TWEAK THEM...
And when people start to see what they once had was pretty much freedom
to say & do anything they wanted & now they are starting to see something
in real black & withe saying these are the new rules BUT please
TWEAK them a little... They [the people] here just might TWEAK it
right out the door to where we have the rules we have now.

Most messages forums tend to be somewhat moderated and that is why you
don't see SPAM OR JUNK in them. But i've been with NGS since 1987 and all
the general ones are far more off the wall than this will ever become.
YES there is off topic posts there... BUT since it is the wide open
GENERAL [COMMUNITY] discuss thing...
It is wide open & NO MODERATOR OF ANY KIND... you will see everything
including SPAM, JUNK, ADVERTISEMENTS, NUDES PICTURES of everything, A
ZILLION This Is A Test and a few zillion more with some type of attachment
& you will find the 50k lines of post that is nothing more than
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I 80 characters wide & 50k lines long & at the very end of that mess...
It might either be a IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HATE YOU
or IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Love You thing...
or the all to common
Message #1
I
message #2
Love
message #3
You
mess...that people love in the wide open NGS...
HERE... you don't see that as it is losely moderated to the slightest
degree and that is why you haven't seen all that stuff here. Besides the
fact that this one is more AW community related rather than GENERAL FREE
FOR ALL stuff in a regular NGS postings.
And if you ever decide to remove any filters in the regular NGS and you
get all 40,000 or more topics in the regular NGS...
You will certainly see a bunch of stupid topics follow a pattern there...
Dumb
Dumb.Dumb
Dumb.Dumb.Dumb
Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb
Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb
Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb
Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.Dumb.ASS

Must be all the DUMB ASSes post in those types. lol
I still haven't seen any DUMB ASSes post here YET!!! lol

In the next few days we will be opening a new newsgroup called "General
Discussion". This will be for Activeworlds community members to use to
discuss things not supported by the other available newsgroups.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
If i take this correct... Chuck & I & everyone else that want to
BASH each other over the heads with words of LOVE, HATE, SAW, etc...
Will have to move our BUTTS out of here and into the new one or have
our posts deleted OR US DELETED AS WELL...

I still have to say that the GOReans are not as sick as some people might
think they are. I remember a time that i told someone that i wished
they could create some laying down avatars and some sequences to go
along with the laying down avatars...
So you would hop into bet... BOY & GIRL or Girl & Girl...
Or in the case of us two nice people... Guy & Guy hit the bed...
And as soon as we are in bed... We switch to the avas that are laying down
in bed or on top of the bed... BUT we would be laing on the bed...
And we could click on the movements for the avs that were laying down...
Love, Sex, Bedplay1, Bedplay2, Roll, Beddance1, Beddance2, Bedhappy...etc.
And create a red light district in both NewYork world & Broadway world...
Not to mention all the GOReans would simply DIE for something like that...
BUT it was one of my hopes that someday some smart person could create
something like that for most everyone to use if you jump, pop, move,
teleport to one of those worlds that had those avatars...
Now if i can say that here in the open NGS... I should be able to say
that the GOReans are NOT all that sick. To me they make perfect sense...
The only thing that is missing though... Is that there should be
more guys that are slaves as well & Masters over the slaves guys....
Then i would have no problem in finding a HOMESTONE in one of the GORean
worlds in a flash.
SO... {To show some people that i have gained certain info...]
I Bid All of you A nice day or night and Farewall...
[The GORean way of saying bye].
