I tell you why you should "trust" Peter.

Because Peter Foldes *IS* trustworthy and I back what he has written in this thread.

As do I, but David doesn't trust me either. He has in the past accused me of
being a terrorist. His posts are best ignored. If he gets you in his sites
he will follow you around Usenet and web forums casting aspersions on your
character. In my case he was suspicious because I use the nickname TechB in
some online web forums and my real name on Usenet. In his twisted, paranoid
logic somehow this equated to me being linked to terrorism.

That's quite a distortion of the facts, KB/TechB.

As you are aware, 'jen' on Annexcafe User2User has also spotted that Peter
Foldes has the same IP number as Derek Feldman. Peter Foldes used to post
there - now he doesn't. Interesting, that!

It may or may not be coincidental that you (and your partner K.Dee) reside
in Canada, just as Peter Foldes does. IS there any connection between you
all? Rhetorical question really ......... I would not expect you to tell the
truth here.

Regardless of the need to raise funds for terrorism purposes, the
exponential rise in Cybercrime cannot be denied. You are quite correct when
you say that I'll try to do my bit to help reduce same ............ and will
do so tenatiously.

David

No, not Mableton, GA USA, but Mableton is in the same metropolitan area of ~
6,000,000. You can't always trust the accuracy of an 'IP Address Locator'.
Such a tool may be close in one case, and quite a miss in another. At least
one locates your post header IP address in Edison, NJ.

B^) is my smiley-face. The spelling reference is to your UK usage. What
would BD stand in for?

I hear you, David.

Perhaps you have met him face-to-face and/or have some other way of being
/certain/ that THIS Peter Foldes is a completely separate persona to the
'individual' who was providing help and advice on
annexcafe.general.user2user and annexcafe.uk.general.user2user - until
'Registration' was required there a few months ago.

My own experience tells me, simply by his style of writing and attitude,
that it is one and the same person. I cannot ask further questions at
Annexcafe as I have been asked to leave what I'm told is a private server
(they tell me that it's a much safer environment there!). The style and
attitude of Derek Feldman is remarkably similar!

There really is no way of knowing who one can really trust on-line, is there
David?

David.

Hi Phil, thanks for responding again.

When you said " ... I hadn't picked up on your spelling B^)" I had
suspected that you had meant "I hadn't picked up on your spelling Boater
Dave".
Now that really /was/ just a simple misinterpretation on my part -
understandable, I trust!
I''ve never seen anyone use a 'smiley' face like yours - quite original <g>
Did you know that it takes over a hundred muscles to frown, yet only 4 to
smile!

If you haven't yet taken a peek at the link I posted earlier, please do so
before you make judgements on the other posts appearing here. Thanks.

David

That's good to know, David. Phil appears genuine and I have no reason to
think otherwise.

OTOH - Peter Foldes has been tracked by me for well over 18 months.

As I've said many times Peter, "The Truth Will Out". I concede that I 'may'
be mistaken about you - but /my/ conscience is absolutely clear is yours?

My computer problem? That certainly had you perplexed last year, didn't it?
I trashed it - and now have another. Do you remember telling me (and others,
that FDISK would destroy /all/ data on a hard disk - do you still stand by
that?

Hello David

This will be the last time I will involve myself with this delusional query
of yours. I was born as Peter Foldes and I stay as such and post as such
across the newsgroups. If you have any doubts about this person on another
newsgroup server who is named Derek Feldman then may I suggest that you go
and ask this person there why his name is Derek and why is he\she\is posting
using his\her name as Derek Feldman.

I have nothing to do with this person and I do not wish to either. Also I do
not know who she\he is.
As far as not trusting me for the answers that I post to you on your issues
, then that is your prerogative and either you take it or you do not.

This is the last time I will involve myself with you on this name changing
subject which you keep on bringing up and waiting bandwidth here for no
reason..

Now, may I ask you , did you solve your issues as far as what you have
posted concerning your computer.

Thanks David and have a nice day and weekend

That is truly unfortunate. :-(

| I hear you, David.

| annexcafe.general.user2user and annexcafe.uk.general.user2user - until
| 'Registration' was required there a few months ago.
|
| My own experience tells me, simply by his style of writing and attitude,

| Annexcafe as I have been asked to leave what I'm told is a private server
| (they tell me that it's a much safer environment there!). The style and

|

There are many levels of trust and they relate to context.
Compartmentize your trust based upon context.

Really...WHO CARES? This is a newsgroup about .security.virus, not who you
can trust on usenet. Simple, short answer, don't trust anyone. If you've
been "tracking" someone for 18 months then you are fixated on them. Life's
too short for that crap and this thread is too long for this crap. Case
closed.

Hello Peter.

I have posted below a relatively recent post you made (or should I stress
'apparently' by you?) in which you state that you have a T3 connection
(perhaps for valid reasons - but I don't know what they may be). I should
like to know if you confirm or deny that *you* posted this message - others
may possibly be interested too. The posting style seems /remarkably/ similar
to your posts on the MS newsgroups.

'Peter Foldes' was a regular 'adviser' on both Annexcafe U2U groups - but
isn't posting there nowadays - instead it is a persona called Derek Feldman
(who's IP address is, coincidently (?) exactly the same as yours!). My take
is that someone here is telling Porkie Pies.

David
_________________________________________________


Here's a comparison table http://www.dslreports.com/archive

Your T3 figures appeared absolutely outstanding, Peter.
I had no idea what T3 was so went to Google. This is what I found

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/T/T_3_carrier.html

In essence it said:-
T-3 lines are used mainly by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connecting to
the Internet backbone and for the backbone itself.

[Dave H]

I see what you are driving at, David.
Maybe they are educated, and making educated guesses?
Or maybe you should look into reasons why they stretch to doing this.
Are you being a nuisance, making ridiculous claims, defaming or following
people onto other groups or servers? Those sort of things would do it.

BTW, when you enter a server like this, or another private nntp server, you
are dipping into their computer, they are allowing you to that.
Now I know what you are thinking, can the give you a virus or infection via
a download or link. No doubt it is possible, but then again many people
would also have done the same thing as you, and would be howling for blood.
Maybe if you don't understand the nature of things like this, you should
leave well alone?

Now I run a private nntp server myself, done for just for the pleasure of
sharing, and knowing I can run a safe (as any can be) place, and would find
it insulting that you would consider myself, or any visitors, were tricking
you to install something. I would have to ban you for such thoughts, or make
it so you can't post such disruptive/paranoid things to upset a community. I
would also ban anyone that harmed another's computer, or at least prevent
them from posting.

[Dave H]

David,
Occasionally I have to look for people who might cause me bother.
The tool I use for identifying such persons is freeware, called My Nose.
I would steer away from that newsgroup, they obviously have found something
about you that has rubbed them up the wrong way.

Kerry, without knowing you, I trust you also. I see on Communities MS has
bestowed you with an MVP icon, that's good enough for me.
Also Peter Foldes and Derek Feldman I would consider trustworthy.
Incidentally, someone, also called Boater Dave, is spouting paranoid things
on my own private server.

this is the same BD that has thrown his accusations into my own very small
group on DogAgent?
the same who was reduced to only posting to a Moderated group?
the same who has now been effectively beamed away from DogAgent entirely?
/me chuckles.
thanks for all you do, Dave!
HUGS!

That is the very same guy, not quite banned but has a small posting window.
(for the moment)
To do this, I can search massive log files in seconds, then My Nose comes
into play.
