'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....


update 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...

GO FIGURE... Check out this whole thread here

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.

The thread 'Stop $teve, the advertising machine' was started April 14 2005.
This thread was followed by 'Stop $teve, why ??? ' and 'Stop $teve, how ??? '
After a few days $teve was gone . . . He received hardly any support for his 'word-twisting'.

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).

A new thread was started: 'A question to the community'.

And the question is...

Do you really intend to do business with a person like this ??
