'Recent'
history of $teve's advertising and efforts to stop this:
In fact the history seems to be repeating ... (sad but true)
All that is stated here ('old' history) is still valid but we sure hoped that $teve would learn....
Very recently (september 2009) he had the guts to 'offer' his PAYED help to write a 'how-to-use' document for the FE Updater that MVP Tony Toews offers to the community for FREE...
Do you really intend to do business with a person like this ??
'Old' history:
A lot of times the past years several people of these newsgroups have asked $teve to
stop the advertising or adjust his siglines. Almost always he gets really mad about this, and threads
end up in a flame war.
He refuses to stop the adds (we have asked him a thousand times) and he chooses
to continue with his sleazy schemes and his false accusations to people who ask
him to stop. We have had quite a few flaming threads in the (recent) past.
He went away until May 20, when he 'popped up' again as 'Access Resource'.
(Actually he is NOT a resource at all but that is not the real
issue here).
Apparently the new 'idea' was advertising and job-hunting as 'Access Resource'
and posting answers as PCDataSheet.
Also we have seen him that time as Tom (notmy@email.com)
He decided to start advertising and job-hunting as PCDataSheet again in June.
And he was really enjoying it: He even 'invited' Arno R to hunt him
because it would provide new projects for him: Check out: MDE
File Shareware? was a very flaming thread. One can get a good
idea of the kind of lunatic maniac $teve is.
In the thread 'To
All' one also can get a very good idea of $teve. This thread was
started by $teve himself (June 11-2005) with some very nasty accusations.
He has been asked to provide any evidence but he is only lying. In fact there are
a lot of unanswered questions.
A lot of us really thought that $teve was gone after the contribution of Neil
Ginsberg being ripped off by PCDataSheet , but $teve sure has balls indeed!
It
might be that he 'makes a habit' of not paying contractors he hires? Here is another
rip-off story by Danny Lesandrini.
July 8 $teve popped up a few times again as 'Access Resource' (job hunting …)
At the end of July it became clear that he was spamming
innocent people asking questions:
Well, to make a long story short: Arno R in fact started to hunt all the posts
of PCDataSheet.
Some people of the groups were not supporting this. The group was getting a bit
'tired' of all this banter and flame threads.
The group still considered $teve's contribution while not advertising
worthwhile.
So Arno R stopped the 'hunt all posts'. Only the 'Contact-me posts were
attacked.
BUT: Last summer $teve was behaving better in cdma. He was even asking
questions 'as' PCDataSheet.
He was playing the 'nicest of all guys' in this newsgroup
comp.databases.ms-access for a short period.
In the meantime he was advertising like hell in the microsoft.public.access.*
groups.
There have been a few flaming threads again about $teve's advertising. Read
for yourself
But $teve (in his wisdom?) decided to change his siglines (we have had a lot
of discussions in the past about this ...) and
apparently he still thinks he has the *right* to advertise only because he
also answers questions (sic).
