He isn't mentally ill, just a sociopath with a nasty vindictive streak.

And does that make it ok to ridicule and berate him? The point of this
thread is that he alone can't do any real harm to this group. But all
the people who respond to him or post repeatedly about him do as much if
not more harm to the group.

Instead of rec.radio.amateur.antenna we should call it
rec.radio.amateur.Gareth to make more of the conversations on topic.

If you want to host a web site and can construct a web page, I can offer
you free hosting. I have an unlimited hosting account and provide
hosting service for several of my friends. Check out
coldwatersafety.org and wintercrestsearch.com. It costs me nothing
extra. You have to buy a domain name and I set up the hosting account
for you. The rest is in your hands. Just don't bring down the server
or they get ****ed at me.


That's a really nice offer, but I think you're on US soil, no? As far as I
know, if I want to sell code, I'll be undr UK law, and things like physical
sources matter a great deal in law, which I barely understand details of
anyway, so I need to reduce as many complications as possible. At the very
least, if I have to pay for legal service, it's bound to cost more if I need
extra help to manage US law for web based sales. Even if it may not matter at
one moment, I have heard of people finding that it can at another, and the
consistent advice I picked up was always host geographically under the same
law that you live under, until you need to do bulk trade that is served
better under another nation's law. I doubt I'll ever trade in bulk.

Ok. Then look around for low cost hosting. It really is not very
expensive these days. I think I'm paying around $50 a year and like I
said, the account is unlimited until you have bandwidth or storage that
would bring down the server.

They did once draw the line at a 2.5 TB map data base I was considering
hosting, lol.

As the above is just guesswork and there is no official diagnosis, at

Perhaps if enough people pour onto him, he will take advantage of that
free health care in the UK and get himself checked out.

The advanced EM texts all describe the mechanism by which short
antennae are poor radiators.

How the once-technical Yankland descends into the abyss of
rednecked abusive ignorance!

Perhaps those legislators who tried to pass a law defining PI as
3 are now the cadre of those holding Ham licences in Yankland?

And yet again the gas bag of gas bags posts pure nonsense.

The tale of a legislature trying to pass a law to make pi 3 was
an April Fool's parody in 1998.

It is not surprising the gas bag believes April Fool's parodies, old
wive's tales, urban legands, and other such nonsense.

I bet they did. Even Google might give the look askance.

I've been reading a page on server location, and maybe it's not the issue I
thought it was. On the other hand that page had nothign to say about
encryption, for example a download of OpenBSD from US to US was (maybe still
is) not very legal, but is safe fetched from Canada. Who was at greatest risk
I don't know, but the OpenBSD people were careful to remind people of it for
many years.

What I'll do is look for a UK host with direct access to the link that goes
to satellite through Gonnhilly Downs in Cornwall, or the Lynx router in
London, failing that I may be ok with a US server, if I can find a good UK
software seller's precedent for similar use to guide me on any issues I
should know about.

Untrue.

This is something he has done to different people on several previous
occasions. All they have done is call him out on his trolling, or have
the temerity to disagree with him, or more often, disprove his wild
theories that pay no heed to the laws of physics (cf. short antennas,
polarised resistors, etc. etc. etc.)

Untrue

Not to the group, no, but he can, has, and will, attempt to do real harm
to those with whom he takes issue. And like most trolls, he is thin-
skinned and takes offence very easily. Almost any criticism, however
mild, is classed as 'abuse' in his alternate universe.

Untrue

If you like. The man's a complete **** and is beneath contempt. He's
been trolling usenet since at least 1997. He's the sole reason we need
uk.radio.amateur.moderated, since he has destroyed uk.radio.amateur with
his machinations and is hell bent on doing the same here in rr.aa.

Untrue. The unpleasantness consistently comes from you, and is never
originated by me.

In uk.r.a a campaign called Project Shun is running, whereby Evans is
ignored. It's having a remarkable effect, which is why he's reduced to
trolling other groups since no one responds directly to him in uk.r.a
any more, depriving him of the attention he desperately craves. If
people just ignored him he'd **** off and infest some other blameless
group.

Untrue.

I don't know what you are talking about. What is illegal about OpenBSD?
I'm pretty sure that if you are in the US, the legality of a download
has nothing to do with the location of the server. Heck, there are some
acts that even if you commit them in a foreign country open you to being
arrested when you return to the US (mostly sex crimes such as juvenile
offenses).

What the heck are you planning to post that you are worried about
governments? You are aware that all governments have a great many
things they wish to look at on the Internet, but only a very, very tiny
fraction that they feel the need to do anything about? The latter are
usually things that threaten national security or are heinous crimes in
virtually every country.

Discussing aspects of antennae that interest me does NOT soil this NG,
