Measekite,
can you give me a list of moderators that was promoting after market
ink? At this point it appears that the only person I'm trusting is
Jan Alter. At least Jan alter has a email from a school district.
I'm going to call her tomorrow to verify she is real.
Stan
Yes - I am a moderator for the Nifty-Stuff Forum. I participated for a few
years and contributed any and all information that I felt was helpful to
others. I had purchased several items in bulk online at a very low cost and
shared them at no cost with other contributers in an effort to make their
refilling easier. Because I was a frequent contributer with assistance to
others, Rob, the original moderator asked me to help him while he was on
vacation. I then was asked to continue as a co-moderator with several other
participants. In all that time (almost four years) I have only deleted one
advertisement and asked one participant to be more civil and not attack
other participants personally.
Measekite "discovered" my participation and took great glee in thinking he
had blown my cover. In fact, I wasn't hiding my participation from anyone.
Since I didn't know what the tone of the forum might be, I signed in with
the name, Fotofreek, to shield myself from the likes of Measekite. Anyone
who was on this NG up until about a year ago will remember the attacks from
MK on several people with snide sexual comments about someones mother and
other really obnoxious, defamatory posts. Now that he has moderated his
tone somewhat, he tends to appear more convincing with his posts, even
though most are the same old inexperience-based bias.
It is a pleasure to participate in the nifty forum, a moderated group that
keeps the discourse civil. That forum has more information on aftermarket
inks and printer maintenance, primarily for Canon, all in one place, than
any other I have seen. It is an ideal forum to learn the tips, tricks, and
traps of refilling. It epitomizes the coming together of people who share
their own experience and innovation in this area for the benefit of others.
There are no trolls who take pleasure in shooting down people with whom they
disagree. Advertisers are kindly discouraged, and if they persist, their
posts and their participation are cancelled.
So, Stan - if you can't trust that kind of attitude and approach to sharing
knowledge, you are truly paranoid.
