Cancel Watch Web Site
Cancel Watch exists due to various hackers who remove other people's
Usenet articles at their whim. If you are a victim of such hackers it is our hope that you
will find information here that will enable you to defend yourself. The little Castro
wannabe in Florida and his flunkies have no authority whatsoever to dominate and censor
public newsgroups.

meg0724.txt Updated 7/24/97 More recent cancels by the
megalith net trash. Most of these cancels are from the trash at gil.net or fdma.com. This
batch even includes one of a Florida resident's post being canceled because he happened to
post from his work account. UU.NET continues to support the hacker trash with their
canceling of other peoples' articles.
meg0714.txt Updated 7/14/97 More recent cancels by net
trash. Most of these cancels are from the trash at gil.net or fdma.com. Scheidell is
running his cancelbot with his bbnplanet access. UU.NET should be considered an accessory
with the trash at gil.net.
meg0705.txt Updated 7/05/97 More recent cancels by net
trash. Most of these cancels are from fdma.com. Scheidell is running his cancelbot with
his bbnplanet access. These include the July 4 cancels from fdma.com
mega97c.zip Updated 7/02/97 More recent cancels by net
trash. Most of these cancels are from fdma.com. Scheidell is running his cancelbot with
his bbnplanet access.
fdmanew.txt It appears that fdma.com now has access via
bbnplanet and is no longer with Netcom. Did Netcom finally decide to enforce their terms
of service in regards to hackers using their service to run cancelbots on public groups?
mega0697.txt Here are a few recent cancels by the hacker
trash in Florida. Most of these are from fdma.
Update 4/22/97: A handful of net trash have convinced malicious and/or
incompetent/gullible individuals at gte.net usenet dept. (webmaster@gte.net,
MsgAdmin@gte.net and security@gte.net) to cancel my gte.net account on their behalf. I was
using the gte.net account in monitoring the cancel messages from the hacker trash in
Florida. My account was canceled due to alleged news abuse. I hope this malicious action
by GTE.NET will now make them legally responsible for their blatant and ongoing publishing
of hard core child pornography from their usenet servers. See http://www.prime.org/legal

regarding GTE.NET publishing hard core child pornography.
flgn0412.txt Here is a short thread from fl.general showing
the dishonesty of the hacker trash running megalith. Notice that a cancel.watch post was
canceled for being cross posted, but scheidell's buddy's out of state posting to the same
groups was not.
meg0412a.txt Here are a few recent cancels by the hacker
trash. Notice that this one contains cancels of school teachers looking for positions in
Florida. This is the reason that cancel.watch keeps fighting the malicious megalith trash.
Cancel.watch does not support or condone real spammers, but rather, individuals who
are censored by malicious hackers who set themselves up to dominate and control public
groups by censorship. The opinions expressed here should not be considered legal advice.
We recommend that you contact law enforcement or legal counsel if your articles are being
removed without your permission.
If you are a victim of the article cancelers you can use the path line in the cancel
article to trace to the source of the cancel. These path lines are sometimes faked, but
they still are accurate to some point in the path. We believe that various companies who
knowingly provide access to the rogue cancelers like Sprint, IAG.NET and UU.NET should be
considered legal accessories with the cancelers in any legal action that would be
undertaken by a cancel victim.
Various files and information have been appended to the front of this document as they
became available. The big news is that some of the lowest of the net trash on internet
were able to convince individuals at PSINet including Alyson Willsie, director of
technical support and one vice president, Mary-Ann Carolan to deliberately breach our
contract and block prime.org from accessing usenet on their behalf.
mary-ann.txt Click on file for an email sent to me along
with other harassing email by psi.net showing a PSINet vice president ordering the
prime.org access to usenet blocked on behalf of lying net trash. This will be a major
exhibit in the upcoming lawsuit against PSINet
Also, PSINet has been making fraudulent and unauthorized charges to the PreRapture
American Express Card while deliberately and maliciously continuing their breach of
contract. Legal action against PSINet is planned just as soon as we get set up with
another ISP. Also, PSINet atty. John LoBalbo, threatening further breach of contract,
extorted censorship of an email that was posted here where Mary-Ann Carolan ordered our
usenet access blocked on behalf of the net trash. That will be one of the main exhibits in
the lawsuit. The email came to me in the flow of harassing email that PSInet was
deliberately flooding me with on behalf of the net trash.
mega97b.zip Updated 4/16/97 This is a zip file of recent
cancels. It appears that iag.net, sprint and uu.net are again supporting these net trash
in Florida with their message canceling.
Some of the net trash attempting to dominate, control and censor public newsgroups are
now simply claiming that by simply having some of their friends change the so called
charter of a public group that they suddenly have the right to cancel other people's
articles that they disagree with. They call their newsgroup hijacking
"retro-moderation". The promisekeepers cultists attempted that with the
alt.org.promisekeepers newsgroup. They have a history of using hacker trash to censor
public newsgroups on their behalf.
The charter of a public, unmoderated newsgroup is nothing more than a wish list modifiable
at whim and is in no way contractual. A sample charter by hacker trash in Florida is
available below as a sample. The hacker trash in Florida have used that technique to
justify their domination and control of public newsgroups.
The net trash and their practice of modifying charters for public, unmoderated usenet
newsgroups in order to dominate, control and censor with apparent authority is on the same
human behaviour level of a street gang deciding to have an election and voting themselves
territorial owners of several alleys that they have grown comfortable inhabiting.
mega97.zip Updated 2/05/97 This is a zip file of cancels.
While psi.net continues their breach of contract by blocking prime.org from usenet on
behalf of net trash, net trash are continuing to issue cancels for public newsgroups in
Florida. The nature of the cancels including counterfeiting and removal of sender
information affirm my point regarding their being issued by net trash. This is just some
of the evidence that psi.net will face when I file suit. Here are some recent cancels by
hackers. UU.NET should be considered an accessory with the hackers.
mega97a.zip Updated 2/12/97 More recent cancels by net
trash. UU.NET should be considered an accessory with the hackers. It appears that at this
time US Sprint has cut the trash off from doing their dirty work via Sprint.
overlord.txt Update 2/15/97 It appears that uu.net has cut
off the hacker trash from issuing cancels. I have not noticed any cancels from the
megalith trash in the last couple of days. Now the hackers's strategy seems to be to
remove the public Florida newsgroups and replace them with their own private moderated
groups. This also includes an email from the trash. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE! But it does show
the level of human debris who are behind the cancels.
primforg.txt Update 1/18/97 While psi.net continues their
breach of contract by blocking prime.org from usenet on behalf of net trash, net trash are
even forging the prime.org domain to issue cancels. Here are some recent cancels by hacker
trash including recent forgeries of prime.org.
megabot.txt Here are some cancels by hacker trash before
during and after they convinced psi.net to breach their contract and block my news access
on their behalf.
megchart.txt Here is a bogus charter by hacker trash in
Florida used in their attempts to hijack public Florida newsgroups. This appears to be the
same net trash that convinced psi.net to breach their contract and block my news access on
their behalf. Notice the anon post and the path. Also keep in mind that retromoderation is
a farce used by hacker trash to hijack public newsgroups.
goldstei.txt Here are some Nocem cancels by mpcs.com at the
same time of the forged sprint cancels etc.
megfdma.txt Here are more cancels by net trash. Sprint
appears to be a knowing accessory for illegal cancels.
It seems prudent to publish information about the trash sites that are either the
source of malicious NoCem censorship and/or cancel articles AND the sites that are
supporting them. Here is the information about the trash sites:
If this seems rough, please consider what these net trash are doing. They are
attempting to censor me and others from publishing on public usenet newsgroups, or they
are supporting these activities knowingly. These trash sites that do not cease and desist
from their malicious activities can eventually expect to be co-defendants in a civil
action. It should be no surprise that trash like fdma.com, mpcs.com and Howard Goldstein
would be involved in something like this, but it is somewhat surprising that some of these
other sites would have such shabby, irresponsible management.
Trash sites that abuse usenet with malicious censorship:
flcan.txt
Just a few sample cancels from hacker trash in Florida.
(Notice how they were canceling articles by and for Floridians and job offers to
Floridians among other things.)
flex.txt Here are some cancels of cancel.watch articles that
appear to be forgeries of sprintlink.
frivcomp.txt
Here are some frivolous complaints to psi.net regarding my reposting
of illegally cancelled articles that appear to be connected to the forgeries of sprint.
These are from hgoldste@mpcs.com, scheidell@fdma.com and pavanas@nomina.ccia.com . I
believe that anyone can see the connection between these individuals and the so called
sprint cancels. Also notice how goldstein set Reply-To of his complaints to one of the
prime.org addresses as email harassment.
It is notable that all of the flexsmee cancels, if you remove the apparently forged
sprint information from the path are entering via one of the sites that has been
supporting mpcs.com with their malicious "Winterizer NoCem" articles. Also
notable are the common paths from similarly timed timed postings from the net trash
running the megabot on public Florida newsgroups.
Some sites supporting the Winterizer NoCems have been removed from this list as I am
proceeding with civil action against them. These include mpcs.com
Cancel Watch FAQ ver 1.3
This is an informal FAQ regarding cancel.watch, an informal community service of
prime.org.
It should be stated here at the beginning that it is not the purpose or intent of
cancel.watch to ever interfere with or in any way hinder legitimate, honest, spam
cancelers.
1. What does cancel.watch do?
Cancel Watch simply works against content based canceldogs (like scheidell@fdma.com)
and certain regional bully types that fancy public, unmoderated newsgroups to be their
personal kingdoms in which to cancel articles at whim (a la Isley), scheidell@fdma.com ,
AND the trash ISPs that support these canceldogs. (Isley has lost his Emory account(s) and
Emory is not involved in any of his net abuse.) It also appears that several of the
newsfeeds for fdma.com have wised up regarding scheidell's abuse and censorship.
Scheidell's net abuse and removal of other people's postings has decreased remarkably,
especially his canceling articles on behalf of the "promisekeepers" cult.
2. How does cancel.watch do it?
It is the primary practice of cancel.watch to simply notify the victims of
"illegal" cancels, so that these individuals can seek relief. If an ISP
continues after notification to support a known canceldog (like scheidell@fdma.com or the
trash at mpcs.com) then their information is also provided to the victim (and to the site
that is feeding them).
Cancel Watch simply brings abusive activities to light.
3. Why bother?
This originally came about as a direct result of seeing the rampant canceling of public
usenet articles by scheidell@fdma.com on behalf of various religious cult groups that he
is sympathetic with. Then it was noticed that he also fancied himself owner and censor of
the public, unmoderated, Florida groups. It was also noted that a Mr. Isley in Atlanta was
canceling articles at whim in public unmoderated newsgroups.
Once Cancel.Watch got started and the thank you emails came rolling in, it became
obvious that a good percentage of the cancel victims were not spammers, but just regular
people seeking employment and business people many even trying to do the right thing and
limit advertising to "for sale" groups, and job ads to "job" groups.
4. What about spammers?
Real spammers already know that they are being canceled, and those are handled by
several honest, recognized spam cancelers who are not regional bullies or religious
content based cancelers.
5. What about NoCem?
NoCem is itself a new form of article cancel that is openly abused for purposes of
personal vendetta and extortion. The "management" appears to be nothing more
than underground hackers. Net trash are running a "Winterizer" censorship
program which again shows the irresponsibility of the NoCem system.
Cancel Watch recommends that any victim of abuse of the NoCem system for personal
vendetta, contact the sites publishing the malicious harassment, defamation and
censorship. If that fails, then publicize their activities and consider availing yourself
of civil relief against the malicious trash and the trash ISPs that continue (after due
notice) to publish the NoCems for the trash sites. (such as primenet, mpcs.com,
uoregon.edu etc.)
If the NoCem situation was being run responsibly, it would be another matter, but there
is really no need for such a thing to begin with. The first good lawsuit should clean that
mess up.
6. Has cancel.watch ever failed in getting a cancelbot closed down?
No, not really, but since some people appear to have no life or identity beyond
exercising editorial control over portions of public usenet groups (a la isley,
scheidell@fdma.com etc), they keep coming back. It is another situation that will probably
require involving the courts to clean up permanently.
7. How can cancel.watch be so effective?
It is the strategy of cancel.watch to simply provide the cancel victim with information
so that first of all, the individual is aware that they are being illegally censored from
public newsgroups, and to provide them with information about who is doing it to them
should they choose to take any action to defend themselves.
8. Is cancel.watch aware of the content of any article that they notify about?
No, not unless the article title would provide that information. Again, it is the
desire of cancel.watch to stay out of the way of legitimate, honest, spam cancelers.
Cancel.watch attempts to "pass over" obvious cases of abuse and spam.
9. What do some of the thank you emails say?
Many are wanting more information about how and where to file a complaint. One was from
an individual who was trying to find employment for a friend who was getting ready to move
to Florida. Many are from honest business people who were trying to offer a product to
Florida or multiple states. Many are individuals who are really angry, shocked, confused,
and hurt to find out that they have been censored without cause.
10. How many are from daemons bouncing mail because the address was fake?
A good percentage, but in those cases, no one is notified and no harm done.
11. Do you notify ISPs?
Yes, if requested to. At least one has asked to be notified of any fdma.com scheidell
cancels via their system. Some ISPs dishonestly label the notification
"harassment" and they are just considered as accessories and their feeds are
notified and they are listed to the victims as accessories.
12. What does cancel.watch do in one short sentence?
Cancel.watch simply notifies the victims of cancel bullies of how to defend themselves.
