Please don't forget to mention that you want to > rip me off $300! First of all, again you are quoting my private messages. Second, the $300 has nothing to do with me, though I see no objection to people charging for work you ask them to do on your behalf. Third, can't you get it through your head that no threats are involved here, just some very basic statements of facts. You seem to be unaware of these facts as was clear from your initial post. This is certainly off-topic noise but on the other hand perhaps it is instructive to any others following this list who may be sharing the same misconceptions as Alexander. Anyway, I am killing this thread now, and apologies to anyone annoyed by these messages. In both the last two cases, I made the mistake of sending private advice to Alexander, clearly something that is not helpful in this situation. > > --- Robert Dewar wrote: > >> Alexander Verhaeghe wrote: >>> Quote Jan-Benedict Glaw "So please shut up now." >>> >>> Quite friendly I must say, it's the german way I >>> suppose of handling things? >>> >>> To Jan-Benedict Glaw I WON'T SHUT UP because of >> "Free >>> as in Freedom"! >> If I googled on your name and found this sort of >> absurd post, I would form conclusions right away. >> People will see these quotes for ever, they are >> not going away, they will follow you everywhere, >> is this what you want? >> >> Do you not understand that it is technically >> impossible >> to remove those posts, there are thousands of copies >> of >> this all over the net.
