You are either *pretending* to be stupid Li, or you really are - which is
it? :)
I'd like to apologise for my spelling of 'great' in my original post. Sorry
about that.

when i was strictly dial up, using a modem, i would get disconnected quite
often.
i soon learned to keep temp files cleaned, because i would get
disconnected
trying to open a web page.
reconnect, open another page, disconnected again.
then, of course, isp's will disconnect you at any time if they feel you've
been 'inactive' or don't reply to their ping. (firewall)
you being disconnected while reading a news group would be a coincidence,
not a malicious attack.

"he had his identity stolen" ............ that is TRUE.
'Trojan.Java.ByteVer.R' was identified as the culprit.
"and rather than blame his own inexperience on line, he insists 'we' did
it
and he's going to prove it." ........... that is NOT true!
Recognising my inexperience, I set out to determine more about 'malware'
and
try to discover just *how* I may have got a Trojan on my PC. I thought
that
I had been careful, using Zone Alarm, AVG anti-virus, Ad-Aware and Spybot
amongst others. Oh yes, and a new facility then called Prevx. Insufficient
protection as it turned out!
Few stones have been left unturned (just google for BoaterDave and you'll
find many hundreds of my posts - I didn't ever think to do that less than
two years ago - how naive was that! <g>).
A suspicious email invited me to A/C U2U. I went simply out of curiosity.
I
asked many questions. Although I learnt a grate deal from many helpful
people, some questions drew a blank and some folk became irritated. A
person
or persons unknown was later able, somehow, to disable my PC whilst I was
connected to U2U through a modem and OE6. Not once, but on a number of
occasions. My quest is to determine just *how* it was done. By whom is
another matter, probably best left to the police.
Any help will be much appreciated. :)

newsgroups & chat. private server. registration needed.
www.dogagent.com
newsgroups on a private server, open to the public.
both servers friendly to each other, both carry groups for the other in
case
one is down for whatever reason. both will honor each others bans.
this is suspicious to BD.
he is even more suspicious because he doesn't understand how i can be
staff
for both servers.
he had his identity stolen and rather than blame his own inexperience on
line, he insists 'we' did it and he's going to prove it.
