<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Every so often I'll see someone new to the list
respond to a posting by a fellow I blocked several years ago - I can't recall
his name for the moment - and fell as if I should advise them as to the negative

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">But one does not want to discourage participation
by newbies and I just ignore. People seem to catch on fairly quickly. (Just
recalled his name and remember a fellow I respect in the industry asking me if I
read his posts. I said no, used to, but now I block him. He said he is amused
and gains some benefit from reading his posts. So Jeffrey, keep up the effort,
some people enjoy your posts.)</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>I agree. You can learn a lot from reading the Jeffrey posts - I certainly am a fan. But like all information on the Internet - one should do their research. One thing I do know about Jeffery is that he is good at stock market predictions vis a vis the subjects he follows. I tracked some of them.Very profitable.<br>
<br>My recommendation to people is to never filter Jeffery out. In fact - create a filter and read him at your leisure. Jeffery should be required reading.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">But for me he doesn't exist. </font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>But he does exist. You should call him and let him know just how many people enjoy Jeffery's posts. If you need his number - I'll provide it. Jeffery is an institution in and of himself. Of course he would be popular.<br>
<br>You know. You should to me like your more jealous or even envious of Jeff's fame.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div bgcolor="#ffffff"><div><font face="Arial" size="2">Milton blocked him. I
block him. And others on the list probably block him. He just doesn't exist as a
problem for me. (As I might not exist to others on this list.)</font></div></div></blockquote><div><br>Your missing a lot. Did you hear the one about the ICANN employee affiliated with the NAZIs that Jeffery uncovered. I had to moderate an ICANN complaint atthe GA with Garside and Dierker. ICANN with Garside tried to have him banned from the GA. But our investigation of the ICANN complaint confirmed that the ICANN employee did in fact work for a former NAZI prior to joining ICANN.<br>
<br>The complaint was dismissed by us as frivolous and vexatious since the material facts of the allegations by Jeffery were true.<br><br>Jeff is famous. Jeff is a Star. Jeff is our legacy. A constant reminder to one and all.<br>

<br>cheers and thanks for offering technical support.
