A warning for these groups

A person who posts to these groups, namely Paul Cummins, is currently
issuing rogue, third-party message cancellations over in the
uk.radio.amateur newsgroup.

Mr Cummins isn't issuing these cancels against spam, he's issuing them
because he wishes to censor.

He may be doing the same in these groups too.

So, if any of you notice your messages disappearing in these groups, I
suggest you look in the direction of Mr Paul Cummins.

False. Spam from a single user was disrupting the group and was being
cancelled. The BI of the spam postings had reached 41 over a 45 day
rolling period.

False. Spam was being cancelled in the group, unfortunately this used
used the same posting address and 2 of his posts were mistakenly
cancelled today - for which an apology was made several hours ago.

False. Notice the lack of evidence of his allegations.

With 4 spam weblinks in your .sig? I don't think anyone would take you
seriously. I certainly won't be.

..sig files are not considered spam. ONly where the content of the
posting has not value, are entires in a sig considered to be spamming.

Did you start using Usenet one September?

But, and much more importantly, I could point out that you have
cancelled messages from people which were definitely NOT spam - they
were messages that made people aware of your censorship.
