A year ago I wrote:
"It's as if he's terrified that when (and if) the Cingular name is
dropped, that Usenet readers and posters will migrate to the old
alt.cellular.attws, a group that doesn't have a charter written by him.
So he's desperately trying to extend the alt.cellular.cingular charter
onto alt.cellular.attws (at least that's the only explanation anyone's
come up with for why he's posting a charter into a group that it doesn't
apply to)."
Now the migration is happening, and he's increased his spamming.

away, and alt.cellular.attws is the proper venue for posts regarding
AT&T's Wireless Service.]

Wrong on both counts.
What's increasing is your attempts to disrupt these newsgroups and to
run down AT&T/Cingular, increasingly desperate as more and more of your
forecasts are shown to be nonsense.

I think that now that the migration is actually occurring, he's trying
to figure out what to do about it. If he'd gone and created an
"alt.cellular.att" group last year, it might have had some chance of
becoming viable. But look at alt.cellular.t-mobile. While it's carried
by most Usenet servers, and it's now more popular than the old
Voicestream group that it replaced, it's still not on Google Groups,
which is widely used. I don't understand why Google Groups won't add it.
Remember how Navas was so desperately against alt.cellular.t-mobile? It
was because he didn't like the idea of a company name change resulting
in a new group, because in this case he knew the "new" group would
actually be an existing group, one that he didn't write the charter for.
In any case, you only encourage him by responding to him. Remember the
adage, "The problem with arguing with a crazy person is that onlookers
will have trouble telling which is the nut."
Even Google Groups now has kill files. Use them sparingly, but wisely.

How silly. I couldn't care less.

How bogus. I couldn't have cared less.
