Hi Errol, Hi All,

First, Nick has only received 15 responses/samples from the more
than 30 original volunteers. We'll give the 'lazy bones' two
more weeks to submit them so we can complete the analysis.
Please, if you volunteered, submit your samples ASAP. Thank you.

Next: I've been electronically 'hustled!'

Fellow list members and especially website masters should pay
close attention to the following. I'm sure many already know
about this kind of thing, but it was 'new' to me and I figure
maybe there are others on the list who may get caught with
their knickers down if they are not aware of it.

My website has been, for all intents and purposes, 'ripped off' by
the kind people over at the "SilverMoon" website! What they do is,
they ask you if they can put up a "link" to your site. If you give
your consent, your entire website then becomes a 'linked feature'
(within) their (SilverMoon) website!

In other words, they don't 'send' visitors over to your website.
Instead, they _internally_ link to it and play it on _their_
server - within _their_ website. It is not _your_ URLs that
appear in the browser header at the top of _your_ pages... it
is theirs! They literally (and barefaced) _capture_ your entire
website wholesale and simply 'play it' for visitors on theirs.

21st Century "cattle rustling!" No more, no less. The worst part
is, they don't _tell_ you that that is what they are doing to
you. These low life's simply survive by ripping off the hard
work of others. The way they assure 'hits' for their own website
is by (incorporating/corralling) existing popular sites and
fixing it so that if anyone tries to bookmark one of _your_
pages, they end up back at SilverMoon _not_ the website you
yourself sweated over and have to pay for out of pocket! It's
not just a theft of your creative work, you're paying for the
bandwidth that they are taking/using. Some cohones eh?

This is the URL for these jerks:

http://www.SilverUFO.cjb.net

I have _demanded_ that they remove any and all links to A.I.C.
If _your_ website is listed with them, I strongly suggest that
you look into this yourself and take whatever action you choose
on your own behalf. At the least, as a webmaster, you should let
them know what you think of such practices. You should check to
make sure it hasn't already been done to you!


To the website masters at SilverMoon:

Hi Greg,

If you're going to rob me... you better be holding a gun to my
head! Plagiarizing people is no way to make new friends and
gain respect.

Lose the links to A.I.C. immediately!

Seriously pissed off at having been ripped off for my hard work
and fooled.


Please, be sure to let these dolts know what _you_ think. In the
name of exposing crap like this so it doesn't happen to you or a
friend, send all e-mail to: Greg White at SilverMoon.

Regards to All,

John Velez, Website master, A.I.C.
