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.

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.

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.

You know. You should to me like your more jealous or even envious of Jeff's
fame.

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.

The complaint was dismissed by us as frivolous and vexatious since the
material facts of the allegations by Jeffery were true.

Jeff is famous. Jeff is a Star. Jeff is our legacy. A constant reminder to
one and all.

 If anyone is unfamiliar with how to block someone, email me privately.

Great stuff. Folks - take advantage of this if you have too. Free technical
support.

Yes - I agree - the censorship trolls are at it again and Milton is busy
feeding them. Not good.  I'm a strong supporter in your self censorship.

cheers and thanks for offering technical support. You should ask them for a
tax receipt. do you know how many people here can benefit from this service.

cheers
