JL> Dear Moderator,

Or you could realise that there is more than one approach
possible, and you can choose between the approaches taken.

So tell us, just what are you selling or buying Paul ?
Are you another one of those hypocrite who doesnt see
that his own pontifications apply to himself ?

PS> Seeing as how you have been around the BBS sceene for quite

PS> companies be served by a policy complaint against the SysOp of
PS> the BBS that is allowing these people to post these messages.

Nope, you clearly know bugger all about how the system works Paul.
Only sysops can raise policy complaints. Its hard to see how one
could be sustained about whats in a echo which was deliberately
designed to be completely open slather, SPECIFICALLY because that
doesnt get any sysop or moderator involved in ruling on whats posted.

It actually makes a LOT more sense to point out scams when scams
are posted, because some people appear to be sucked in by them.
It even looks rather like John Chan himself has been sucked in.
He believes the line of bull that he has been fed that its not an
illegal pyramid marketing scheme. Since no actual product is being
moved in return for the money the suckers put up, thats precisely
what it is, and explicitly illegal pyramid marketing scheme.

Shows all the signs of being a Ponzi scheme as well.

And as you can see from the John Rich saga, it sounds easy, its
a lot harder to actually do something about someone who willfully
flouts even the rules of a moderated echo than you might think.
