I didn't get the overall count, but at least a few of those deleted were his posts. Generally when the mods come into a thread deleting, it's with a pretty broad brush. |

said by TKJunkMail :... and when switching ISPs, then there is no issue about forwarding at all. What we don't need is government getting in to the business of deciding how an ISP runs their business on a day to day basis and how they manage email access. I agree. If you're not capibile of migrating your personal e-mail from one ISP to another, then you really shouldn't be on the computer in the first place. We used to have e-mail from our ISP, but I grew tired of it, and several years ago, I switched everyone (mom, pops, brother, grandfather, myself) to e-mail accounts on my own domain.
I setup the accounts, configured them in Outlook, and gave them 3 months notice to tell family, friends, financial institutions, mailing lists, etc. of their new address. Everything worked great.
If you're a business - and you don't have your own domain name w/ your own email such as name@companyname.com , then I suggest you revaluate your business plan.
Getting the government in here to regulate e-mail like this is something I don't think we need.
What I would have liked is if my alma mater would have kept my school e-mail active for alumni just because, but I am not so lucky.

Nothing he said made him non-objective....he made a point about this entitlement attitude that alot of people carry nowadays. There was nothing in his response that should have been deleted or to make him look non-objective.
By censoring his position...who looks non-objective now?

Absolutely ridiculous, these people! Why do we need the government to step in and regulate for something people ought to bloody well do for themselves. There is already such a thing as email-forwarding. And as a so-called business executive she made the poor choice of not following up on her own work and insuring the necessary documents were sent/received, so she would lose money or profit or whatever she's bellyaching about. if something like that was important to me I'd double check, no, TRIPLE check to make sure it's working.. Or in having a back up email account/domain server or as many others have said.
Yes AOL may have screwed up....but you know what? So could ANY OTHER provider. I would really like to know what she does so I can stand over her shoulder and sue her whenever she messes up on the job. Absolutely ridiculous. |

said by S_engineer :Whats wrong with being pro-business? Because "pro-business" often turns into "anti-consumer". So much of what business wants is not good for the consumer. Supporting that means you would be supporting hurting the consumer.
Sometimes the interests of the consumer and the business are the same, most of the time they are not.
Of course, in the case of this article... The consumer is an idiot. ISPs have never forwarded mail and if the so called "business person" in the story had a clue, they would have purchased email hosting with a domain. |

said by kapil :... but the pendulum has swung too far in the favor of corporations and an urgent re-balancing of the power is needed in the consumer's favor. All because some woman is too stupid to have her own domain for her business email?
The FCC should send this woman a greeting card with the word "dumbass" printed in big, bold letters as a response to her request.

I did the same thing in early 2002 and never looked back. Having moved a few times myself, and having other family members change ISPs has really made the one time minor hassle well worth it.

As I've posted before, our dear friend is actually a virtual identity created and operated by the pro-government propaganda unit of the Department of Homeland Security. That's my explanation anyway...because I can't come up with any other way to explain away his oblique viewpoints.
