Just a little bump for those who may have not had a chance yet to laugh at complete buffoons.

Yep "Cassie"... you're quite a man.

edit -

BTW... as promised, the goons have now been banned.

Hey Thurbie,
Kinda pisses you off doesn't it?
how about we settle the issue man to man? Ooops. forgot. Man to man indicates TWO men have to be involved.

Oh Zuni, could we please have a "finger" emoticon?
 
DanC,
That is the most profound and inspiring piece of work I have seen in ------------ Hmmm, I've never seen anything like it.

OUTSTANDING JOB!

Merry Christmas to you and your team,(all of them) and may Gods good Grace bless Dave McOwen and his family and all their needs be met.


(I just can't get the grin off my face.😀)
 

Humm, outside of here, I have not heard much about the case. So how to get the word out?

Quite a number of folks know what newsgroups are. How about we go and get the word out?

Dunno if something like this would work, or if taking another tack might work better:

Any of you that are running distributed computing projects,
such as SETI, beware that you may be prosectuted if you install it in certain machines.

Opinions or bad idea?
 
Very nice Job guys! I love it when a plan comes together. I can not wait untill I see this on the news. this is gonna look great! The Online comunity comes together to help oneof it's own, and in the process totaly embarrass the state of Georgia!
 


<< If you'd like to help, feel free to provide the link to your favorite news station, AP, UPI, CNN, etc. >>

It's funny you say that! When this issue first came up I sent an email to Fox News. And continued to do so every time information on this matter was posted. I did so again after reading your first post. Then I read what you said (my quote above).

I'm not sure it will mean anything to them (Fox News etc.), but who knows right? Maybe O`Reilly will air something someday!

I believe the issue of installing software, using school computers, RC5 etc. has been overshadowed at what has turned into a personal vendetta (for only God knows what reason?). No one has to endure so much pain just because a bunch of bureaucrats want to push some uncertain law on to a group of people (in this case one man and his family), in the process causing so much emotional pain.
 
I got a reply from John C. Dvorak.

"!!!! I'll be doing something with this for sure..thanks

"oh and someone needs to get me McOwens phone number...any help?"
