You'd be hosting them for other people, not for me.

There's no bandwidth issue, though there is very rarely an issue with
someone trying to make hundreds of concurrent connections. My host had
to put a lid on that at the time of the release of the 2007 ISO (I
think it was); for a little while, there were tens of thousands of
connections per minute, which was giving their routing software
trouble. I declined the other option they gave me, which was to pay a
lot more money for a dedicated server.

I've moved the PL CD stuff to the top, so people don't have to scroll
through all the stuff about hummingbird's trouble with filtering.

Oh, well.

You've said you banned them -- were they connecting to your computer to
investigate you?

Did they find anything interesting on your computer?

That redirects to <http://toucano.plus.com:8080/>. I'm surprised
you've identified toucano.plus.com as the source of something
unlawful.

[snip a lot more links to <http://downloads.remarqs.net/pl/>]

If you're really that scared, you should probably recheck the links
you're using.

I haven't tried to prevent you from doing anything, just asked you to
be a decent netizen.

You wouldn't stop being an asshat even if I did all your searching for
you, so I'll continue to decline to help you out with it.

You certainly seem scared of it.

And, as hummingbird rolls around on the floor, we switch to his Hamster
problems:

I was expressing concern about continuing inability to filter my posts.

Some of them are.

I can't recall the last time I posted to a thread here without you
replying -- can you?

You read every one.

It's true, but you'll have trouble searching for the post in which you
made the claim because you use XNA. Shorty after you made the
killfiling claim, you switched to saying you filter my posts, yet you
continue to read all my posts.

You've explained that you filter the posts then pore through the filter
logs to find them all so you can read them. I've pointed out what an
inefficient and silly system you're using, but you don't seem to
understand that Hamster can help you do things in a sensible way.

You spend a lot of time rolling around on the floor.

Agreed, but it is however IMO a very generous offer. Storage
and bandwidth generally cost money. You deserve credit for
your contribution. Bear deserves credit if he does the same.

He, of course, doesn't need anyone's "okay" if he wants to
host the CDs as well. It would probably benefit ACF readers
if you both provided the downloads.


Regards, John.
