Tea Talk service has been shutdown

it's not even up on the site anymore. wow.

Mydnight

-------------------- thus then i turn me from my countries light, to dwell in the solemn shades of an endless night.

A shame, too. I'm sure a lot of time and effort when into developing the service. And I think it had the potential to be something better than what it started out as. Oh, well. Such is life, I guess.

Interesting.

Thanks.

One down one to go.

Give it a rest.

You have yet to point to anything Mike "purloined" from this newsgroup, or anything that he could have gotten from no other place.

Where did you see the word you mentioned in this post? You need to get more sleep.

"Purloined" comes from one of your previous posts, Jim. There's no rule in USENET that says I can't take a quote from one of your older posts.

As for my need to get more sleep, that fact (which does happen to be true) has nothing to do with your attempt to evade the issue.

You're having flashbacks. If I was going anywhere in this thread it wouldn't be as you suggest. A late night cup of puerh calms my stomach and puts me to sleep like a baby. I pick and choose my battles. I follow the Bush Doctrine of International Relations. All I have to do is declare I'm right. You're the group historian so when you're taking a trip down memory lane of my previous posts ask the webmaster for another version when he came up with the term Rosetta because he was an active poster for a whole year prior to when I first used it in July

2003. In his latest version and I quote verbatim "I didn't even participate in RFDT back then! Do you really expect me to search the archives for all of your babble before I work on my own research?". I've proved means, motive and opportunity from my aggregate posts on the subject. The guy is a flim flam artist pure and simple. My favorite current running flim flam ad is the one for the Buick LaCrosse where the black woman in an evening dress is doing her impression of Randy Moss in the endzone suggesting a desire to impale herself on the hood ornament. How come the FCC doesn't fine every station running the GM spot 10 grand? Hey Howard if you're free from the FCC clutches on satellite radio find a satellite video channel and get rid of that lame E! pixelization. You would pay for the tsunami recovery yourself and have enough spare change to die 10 times richer than you are.

If you were telling the truth, you would not be misrepresenting a quote that Mike made about what he was doing in 1995 as being about his behavior in 2003.

I've followed this ordeal with only moderate interest, and for the sake of full disclosure i am bound to say that your agenda against mike is ill-founded, mean-spirited, and most important, wrong. on a website as comprehensive as mike's, one could find any number of things which have been discussed on a newsgroup. your blanket dismissal of him as a fraud is as incomprehensible as it is disgusting. see ya.

rec.food.drink.tea is an unmoderated newsgroup which passed its vote for creation by 376:38 as reported in news.announce.newgroups on 5 Apr 1995.

The charter, culled from the call for votes:

Discussion relating to tea, the world's second most consumed beverage (after water), made by infusing or boiling the leaves of the tea plant (C. sinensis or close relatives) in water. Discussions of herbal teas (e.g. chamomile, sassafras, etc.) are also approved, but this newsgroup should NOT be used for advertising herbal tea products or discussing tea as anything other than a beverage. Tea-as-medicine discussions should take place in misc.health.alternative.

He said he didn't read archives back to 95. He hung himself not me. I don't even think the date is important which is the reason I didn't include it. He was an active poster a year before I mentioned my Rosetta reference. He didn't need to read an archive to purloin my intellectual copyright protected material. He saw my post and instantaneously hit the PRINT button and stapled it too his cheatsheet. I corrected a statement about using a cheatsheet in 95 which s/b 99. However I just had a dejavu experience while posting this and it was nothing more than a typo. Even if we allow his cheatsheet as evidence which he never mentioned in the group he specifically didn't mention a single instance of it ever containing a transliterated term. The way he described it, it was a memory jogger which today would be replaced by a PDA.

2003, I see. That's three posts in a row.

He never said he didn't see what you wrote in 2003. He said he didn't see what you wrote in 1995.

And you're still trying to claim copyright infringement for items that do not fall under the protection of copyright law.
