Congratulations, you have just described the 14-17 year old demographic from
40 years ago. And guess where they are now? Running the world! Yup, you
have indeed lived to see the day that you hate so much. Welcome!

Underestimation is a potent weapon, zeo toxion. :) If bodhitah wishes to
underestimate you, then so be it. All the more advantage for you in a
battle of wits.

I think this was directed at my post....


RE: AWLD has filtered me... By that I meant that AWLD management have
indicated publicly for the past 3 years or so that they don't read the
newsgroups. They have also indicated that they are overwhelmed by email
and tgrams. I prefer to complain publicly, so that it is "on the
record". It also spurs other users to think. Thinking, like physical
exercise, is good for you. Another advantage is that when AWLD and or
it's users finally realize that they have screwed up again, I can point
back at my 6 month old posts and say: "See I TOLD you so!!". I of
course take a risk of being publicly proven wrong. But that's pretty
rare of course. And I don't really mind :)

I continue to point out that they don't read the newsgroups, because
that in fact is one of my complaints. I think they SHOULD read them,
and respond regularly (That was a suggestion!). Their claims that they
don't read them are childish IMNSHO.

RE: What the Bot did... I don't really care what the bot did (some
other people may though). My complaint is that they have an
undocumented backdoor to user owned worlds (and universes). If anyone
wants to claim that is *IS* documented, please provide a URL. (And by
documented...I mean documented with complete capabilities of the
backdoor spelled out).

I don't think such backdoors should exist (documented or not). I
suggest they get rid of them. (That was a suggestion!).

Thanks for pointing out the lack of clarity in my previous post.

PS: My complaints are ALWAYS well thought out, if not always well
explained. Tee Hee.

PPS: Not my intent to pick on any individual for defending AWLD. Like
I said, I've done it before, and I'll do it again if I think its
necessary. Anyone who says the complaints are "stupid" should, as you
have advised me, point out specifics... and make suggestions as to why
the complaints are not valid. What I have heard thus far: comparing the
spy bot to Web Search engine bots, is not a valid comparison! A VALID
comparison would be if Internet Explorer were sending information about
my PC back to Microsoft. They (Microsoft) have gotten in trouble about
that in the past and have always bowed to public pressure and removed
the offending backdoor code. Microsoft gets embarrassed when their
screw-ups are publicly pointed out. I'm not sure its possible to
embarrass AWLD.
