If we were in any doubt - despite his attempts to suggest otherwise -
that the poster hiding behind the "Dom1234" & "RedAspect" pseudonyms
is, in fact, the RMT activist David Knight responsible for the
laughably reprehensible zoneonelondon website, I offer the following:
RedAspect has posted this on uk.adverts.other:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk....030837a73006a2
This contained a link to an eBay auction:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...ME:L:LCA:UK:31
The seller's trading name is **www.computerbitz.co.uk** and according
to the Nominet Whois, this domain is registered to... David Knight.
Come on Dave, why are you too scared to use your own name?
Thank you for publicising my eBay auction. I wouldn't do that on this group
because it is off topic.
Not when it's evidence it isn't.
You are of course correct in saying that I am an activist member of the RMT
and that I have the web site www.computerbitz.co.uk.
So what?
However you are quite wrong to link me with the "pseudonym" (the correct
name for this on newsgroups and forums is by the way 'Nick' or 'Nickname')
dom1234.
Hair-splitting irrelevancies aside, that might just be plausible had
you always posted as RedAspect using Usenet.com, but unfortunately for
your credibility, your first such posting was through Tiscali at 02:58
on 09/01/06. We note, of course, that "Dom1234" posted only through
Tiscali, and comparing the relevant message headers reveals too many
similarities than can be dismissed by mere coincidence.
It is also notable that "Dom1234" posted between 30 & 31/12/05, and
"RedAspect" from 09/01/06 onwards. Both have touted your
www.zoneonelondon.co.uk, and are in fact the only posters to Usenet to
have done so. Are we seriously expected to believe that "Dom1234"
appeared out of nowhere as the only source of Usenet publicity for
your site for a couple of days, only to vanish into thin air before
"RedAspect" took up that role a week later?
It is usual for members of newsgroups and forums to use a Nick so what's the
big deal. I have never denied that the Nick 'RedAspect' is indeed me. In
fact all I have done is to remain silent until now when you and others have
indulged in speculation.
The issue is one of honest transparency. Your failure to acknowledge
authorship of
www.zoneonelondon.co.uk at the same time as you are
publicising the site under unrelated pseudonyms is fundamentally as
dishonest as if someone was publicising
www.iraqwarisright.co.uk, and
it turned out that both were a Mr T Blair of SW1.
While we on the subject and before your rather childish imagination runs
wild I am also the Webmaster for www.acrossthetracks.co.uk. This web site is
not owned by me but I did design it and I host it free for the ATT editorial
team. The editorial team comprise RMT, ASLEF and TSSA members. All UK
railways are represented and we invite contributions from anyone who works
on these railways. (Proof will be required)
Yes, well God forbid that you could accept anything from the ordinary
scum punters who have to actually use them, eh?
Now if everybody would like to line up and undress the interrogation and
intimate searches start at 6pm. By order,Nick Cooper.
Whoever he is.
I'm someone who doesn't change their posting name for dishonest
reasons; someone who - obvious anti-spam measures notwithstanding -
has a clearly obvious history of over Usenet 10,000 postings over the
last 9 or so years. I also have to balls to use my real name, both on
Usenet and on my web-sites. I also manage to run the latter out of my
own pocket and without having to rely on advertising (a contradiction
for you, eh, "comrade"?).
