    sure there is enough empty space in your head to park a few cars, you should get on to Brian about a business deal..

    To Copacetic,

    Thank you for your email. I find it difficult to make any substance of the matter which appears in the form of your posting.
    However, I will try to endeavor to address your specific point in question as follows.

    I think it is a swell.

    Regards
    David J. Mikelov.

    Dear Mr. Mikelov,

    I appreciate your telex of 14th November. I will be at the general post office at 10am tomorrow morning the 15th of November. It you have access to a 'telephone' system please call the operator there and ask for Professor B.J Copacetic to discuss further. If you are agreeable I will take the steam train directly to meet and discuss the situation with you. Perhaps luncheon at the Grand?

    Regards etc.

    Prof Copacetic.

    Oddly enough, I'm in a hotel at the moment and they still offer a "telefax" service.

    Whatever the hell that is.

    It's like a hotel that has a lot of rooms.

    In each room, there are groups of people. Each group is huddled around a fax machine. You tell the group what you want to fax and they do it for you.

    Or something.

    Brian Nolan, there's a lot of tolerance here on the classic cars forum. That's why I'm leaving your post here alone. It is spam, but it is on topic. I've deleted your other post which was just spam. Do that again and you will post here no more!
    Brian, the above post is about a post in a thread about car storage, thus it was left alone.

    =-=

    Now, you joined in November 2007. Three months previous to that, there was a car show, which was advertised at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=54394876 and you spammed with your crap two f**king months after the show was held.

    And this is what it comes down to.

    Posting thread about your storage space in a thread about storage space = good.

    Posting about your storage space in a completely unrelated thread = spam.

    It'd be like posting an ad about where you get your thong in a thread about... oh, lets say... t-shirts(?).

    I thought this thread was an interesting example of 'how not to use the internet' until I reached posts number 33 and 34.

    Then it because a perfect example of precisely how to use the internet.

    I lolled so hard I made a lollersnort.

    <--- See that nickname there Brian, believe it or not, Beruthiel is not my real life name. That's because I don't want everyone in the world to know who I really am.

    it is my name that still has not been cleared

    If you had taken a second before registering on this site, you might also not have used your real name, thus making sure nobody knew you unless you wished them to.

    Now everyone has given you a pretty good explaination on how this site works and you just don't seem to be getting it or understanding it.

    As seamus put so simply, we have rules here and a certain way of running this place.
    You should have looked into that and read up a bit before just wading in without giving it a second thought.
    I put it to you that you have nobody but yourself to blame for this perceived mess of yours.


    David Michael and copacetic, thanks for that early morning laugh :D

    Beruthiel (apparently not you real name!)

    With reference to your post I wish to make it clear that I deliberately placed my name with my post, my office number and my mobile number.

    I did wish people to know my name as I was genuinely offering classic cars storage to fellow enthusiasts. This was based on a level of trust between myself and the people who would rent the space, and I would expect them to be honourable.
    No need for false names, mobile numbers only, etc. I do realise that this concept might be hard for you to grasp.

    However, I am now withdrawing this service.

    I would suggest we now leave it at that.

    Brian you exposed your phone numbers to the gods only know how many people not only those on this site but also anyone who can use google.

    If this was deliberate the you should have taken an ad out with boards.ie for your business and the add could have targeted the motor forum.

    If this was not deliberate and you had no idea that your number would be both on this site and saved in google for anyone to access for what ever reason then you have a bit to learn about the internet and people.

    As nice as it would be to think that all people are honorable and that no one would abuse your phone numbers this can happen.

    As nice as it would be to think that everyone pops by to offers services to a community here on boards are honorable most are not. Many people just sign up to use this site for free advertising. This is not acceptable to us and we have rules about this.

    No, what I cannot grasp is the naivety and shortsightedness of doing such a thing.
    I cannot understand how someone would not have the foresight to know how dangerous it is to put up personal details on the world wide web where all and sundry can read them.
    You only need one lunatic to make your life miserable by crank calling you at all times of the day and night.
    If you think that everyone on the planet is trustworthy then you cannot have left your house ever, or read a paper or seen the news.

    Brian
    Brian, you are failing to see the workings on the internet. Discussion forums (like boards.ie) allow people to choose aliases. This is the way they have always worked and long may it last. Its the same idea as choosing an email address. Freud might say that it has somehting to do with an inner child or something - did you never want to be superman or whoever? The internet allows this. And forget about legal matters as everyone can be tracked if needs be.
    Anyhow, it is foolish to publish a phone number on the internet as there are too many nutters out there. Do you really want some headcase ringing you at 4am? Do you really want every scumbag who can read knowing your address so they can call round and see what you have?
    With regard to your offers, kind as they were, they were still business offers which under the terms of agreement on boards.ie are not permitted. However, unkel felt that he would leave one as it was in tune with the particular thread.
    However, as for your feelings of harassment and defamation. It is only you who can see these. No harassment or defamation was used. There was some friendly banter within this thread but it was friendly. If the moderators/admins felt bad enough about your case they would have just used their ability (which under the sign-up terms you agree to) to lock your account (commonly referred to as using the banning stick).
    Now as someone who felt personally angered by your last PM to me, I'm willing to offer the hand of friendship and say bygones. Lets move on Brian.
