First off, thanks to those who wrote and extended their support!

Regarding the subject of trading episodes in this forum I'm glad many people agree with me. But watch your self, as you know there are a couple losers in alt.tv.seinfeld who feel the need to control others and dictate what others post.

Also as stated, perhaps these few individuals need to go open up their own yahoo club so they can control and monitor to their hearts content. These hypocritical losers are the very same people who download mp3's from Napster and other sources. And they'll say, "At least we're not distributing it, and or trading it". Well guess what, you are trading mp3's via the Napster's database, and or other similar sources. Am I right or wrong? When you download anything from the Internet, you are in a sense trading media with others, especially when sources like Napster for example allow other people to download media that you possess on your hard drive. Many pictures, music, words, are copyrighted just as episodes are.

But NO WAY, these couple netcops in here never engage in such activities, right? *lol*

Bottom line, the yahoo club that these netcops made for the sole purpose of trading episodes is terrible. The forum is S-L-O-W and no one even knows about it. And when I tried to utilize it, I got no response. All 180 seinfeld episodes I have now I've received from people at alt.tv.seinfeld, and a couple at episodes4all.

For the people who scream see you in court, tell it to the judge and or Sony's lawyers, remember, as the old saying goes, before you try and take the splinter out of my eye, try working on that 2x4 in yours.

P/S If you are trying to financially profit from episodes, I agree it is WRONG!

The whole purpose of that site sam is that people won't post selling/trading eps in here. That site was just made a little under a month ago. People DO view it and HAVE been getting results. Maybe you just don't know how to treat people nice and that's why no one has responded to you. Ever think of that? No one in here is a "net cop" and like we said before and will say again, WE DON'T GIVE A CRAP IF YOU SELL OR TRADE TAPES!!! Who gives a crap if it's illegal, which it is, we just don't like day after day after day after day seeing these messages in the rooms. That's all!

Being that you sent me this to my e-mail, I'll address my response to both e-mail and forum.

Your accusation of me not knowing how to treat anyone is totally inaccurate. If you would take the time to read my messages in the beginning, I posted with courtesy and respect. It was "Ratboyy" who made the initial smart-ass comment to my thread. That in turn started a chain reaction with the two others idiots, and yourself.

By you accusing me of not knowing how to treat people tells me that you obviously are reaching for anything negative and controversial to send my way. I have dealt with numerous people over the Internet forums and have conducted myself in a mature and responsible manner. It is only when I come across losers that try to control forums is when I react.

Once again your yahoo club for selling and or trading episodes is no good. Hardly anyone knows about it, and as I stated multiple times before, it was unsuccessful for me. Also, you should be ashamed of yourself for creating a club for people to "SELL" episodes. Trying to "profit" with copyrighted media is in a whole different category then "trading". (my opinion)

I will request from you right now that if you have anything else to say to me, please post it in the forum. I do not desire you to use my e-mail address. If you do, I will take whatever action I feel is considered necessary.

Lastly, as you make the comment that you are getting sick of people posting "every day" in alt.tv.seinfeld regarding the selling or trading of episodes, you cannot accuse me of flooding the group with those messages. I post every now and then and if you do not like what I post, please utilize your killfile on my address. It can't get any simpler then that, can it?

Really? Perhaps you'd like to comment on "Aaron", an individual who sometimes uses QuickSilver, an anonymous remailing program, to post malicious crossposted messages. (For those of you who haven't noticed, "Aaron" is the one encouraging people to post binaries in this non-binary forum.) But I suppose you wouldn't know anything about that, would you Sam?

For those interested in learning more about "Aaron" and Sam, simply do a Google search for Aaron's email address, [email]. It'll only take five minutes, since there are very few such posts. But among them, look for messages which are from Earthlink, Sam's ISP. Look for messages which discuss 180 Seinfeld episodes on CD, the same product Sam is peddling. Look for messages which ask for help on posting anonymously to alt.tv.seinfeld. And most importantly, look for the message which is signed "Sam"!

And given that "Aaron" is so upset about Sam being rebuked for posting binary messages and trading episodes, does anyone believe these are *not* the same person, simply covering his tracks by posting anonymously?

I wasn't going to air all this publicly, but you've given us little choice, eh?

Sam?

I have not seen any messages of quicksilver posted in here, have you? You're Columbo allegations are once again inaccurate.

Perhaps it is hard for you to comprehend that there are "OTHERS" who view the subject as I do.

look

My ISP? Earthlink provides service for people throughout the Unites States, and probably other countries (not sure) but I do know throughout the U.S.

Peddling? does that sound sexy to you? I only trade, and contribute to the betterment of this forum!

Sam isn't even my name einstein. I use it because it's a "common" name. You need to brush up on your ivestigation skills. This evidence will be thrown out of court in a heartbeat.

Once again, is it so hard for you to comprehend that others feel as I do on this subject? People don't like netcops like you. Your a control freak and that compadre, is not an appealing characteristic.

choice,

Air all you want, I rather enjoy control freaks who think they are Perry Mason. The sad part is, 95% of the people in here do not give a rats @ss who I, You, Aaron, or anyone else is for that matter.

This is the off-topic bullshit that needs to be destroyed, yet you feel like it is justified, but trading episodes isn't?

Control freaks like you often times begin cyber stalking/harassment (as you are doing towards me), just like this. They spend time doing research over the Internet trying to obtain as much knowledge as they can about their subject. I am beginning to become their center force in their (your) life.

Let me warn you though before you continue, I have advanced knowledge and skills when it comes to the Internet. I treat people as they do I. If you're becoming fixated on me, you will in the end feel my wrath by means of litigation, and or whatever I feel considered necessary. My ISP has already been giving your information and will monitor it if they continue to receive cyber stalking/harassment claims against you. Haven't you received a warning yet?

So be aware and take this how ever way you desire. I believe this is a group for Seinfeld, not cyber stalking and harassment. You cannot tie me to anyone other then me. I don't post anonymously, even when asking for trades. Those other people are from different countries. Try using your advanced Perry Mason skills to do searches on those people you dimwit.

I would have gone with Mannix here, but yours was ok. No style points though.

And in your hometown. And even *gasp* in your house!

Betterment??? BWAAAAHAHAHAHAAA!! Yeah, look how much better it is here since you arrived!! God bless our savior Aaron Sammy!!

Might not hold up in court, but it's holding up in this newsgroup.

You lash out with puerile insults when things don't go smoothly in your opinion. If you're 14 years old, that's acceptable. If you're any older, then shame on you.

Aw hell, in case anyone's just plum lazy,

http://groups.google.com/groups?as_uauthors=gotti_y2k%40yahoo.com&as_scoring=d

They all came from the same address, the ones at the bottom discuss how to create an anonymous sock puppet, Aaron, and the ones at the top are the flames and crosspost requests he posted to this group.

There arewn't many of us here, but whether we care or not, now around 100% of us know exactly what you did. Tsk. All that trouble. And John nailed you like a bug collector nails a buttefly to a piece of cardboard. I can see your wings flailing, Sammy.

This isn't off-topic bullshit, this is John shredding you to bits like nothing I've ever seen in my 7+ years on Usenet.

Control freak!! BWAAAHAHAHA!! You're unraveling in front of us.

How long do you think it took him? 5 minutes? 7 maybe? You need to do something abou tthat hyperinflated ego. You're not as important as you think you are.

Ah grasshappa, you can snatch the packet without making a ripple.

I'm actually laughing out loud right now. At you Sam Aaron.

Hey, get them to send me one to, huh? Please? Be a pal? I'll still think you're a shit, but not quite a lame one. Whatayasay?

Or illegal bootlegging. :-)

Who are you, James Cagney?

LOL!!! When you catch the biggest fish of all, you don't cut your line and try to hook a smaller one.

You're so silly.

Dave (loving watching sammy get his comeuppance, not unlike how Kramer became so amused when Jerry's Sendrax stock kept dropping.)

"Sam" wrote in message news:...

You spammed the group four or five times with your extensive list of copyrighted TV episodes and pirated software. Who were you showing courtesy and respect to?

You said you accepted trades for "educational purposes" and when I asked what that meant you got nasty with me. Then homerr mentioned jail time and you argued with him for a while, then Doug pointed out a punctuation error amongst your "childish taunting" and you argued with him for a while. Then Simon piped in to support your opinions and when I responded to him, you responded by insulting my screen name. When I then tried clearing the air and ending the thread you antagonized me yet again. Then to top it off, you violated one of the most basic Usenet rules by posting a binary to a non-binary newsgroup and John and I called you on it so you argued with us for a while, almost as though we made up this rule. It was only then that I unleashed myself on you.

Sensing a pattern? Don't play the victim card, you're the instigator here.

And you seem to be doing your level best to insure the "chain reaction" continues. Quick question: Are you pissed that your crosspost didn't cause the flood of garbage in a.t.s that you fully expected? Your intention was essentially to make this newsgroup unreadable just because some regulars called you out for doing something you shouldn't have done in the first place. All it would have taken to diffuse everything was a simple, "I'm sorry, I was unaware that this breached Usenet etiquette, I won't do it again." but you chose the other route instead.

Dave, you're an absolute liar. You never simply asked (in the beginning) "what that meant", you maliciously commented and said, "educational purposes is suppose to make you morally above everyone else".

Now please tell me if I'm lying on that? That comment you made was totally confrontational, and inappropriate. I don't know you, and you don't know me, so why would you feel the need to become confrontational in the beginning as you did?

If you would have posted and said, "what educational purposes are those?) I would have respectfully answered your question. But when you automatically attack someone, you'll in turn become attacked.

Now lets see how confrontational you'll respond to this thread.

katieSam

john there are others who share in sams opinion about this issue. I dont agree with aarons tactics i just wanted voice my opnion and say please stop this harassment. the majority of the people in here do not care about trading seinfeld, what is the big deal? please stop.
