Yeah, it appeared on my Earthlink server. I replied to it. It seems that
the fellow you're referring to retired from the business in 1998 and
sold 93% of his stake in the business to some company. I'm sure you can
find the thread in Google.

Now, whether the company he sold the business to is a fundy sort of
company, I don't know...

If you are going to post to Usenet and want to avoid looking like
an idiot you are going to have to learn how to check these things
out for yourself.

search, enter a phrase from your article that is likely to be
unique - "Lil help" will do - and search alt.atheism.

enough, your article shows up, proving it was propagated on
Usenet.

Moreover, you have the question of whether your article was censored
because a) you don't know how to use your newsreader,

a pitiful news service with so little disk space that articles in a
text group expire in only a day or two.

You should learn to use your newsreader, but it *is* somewhat
pointless to learn to use a web browser, which is what you have got,
to read news. It would be much better to get a real newsreader and
to learn to use it. The nearest thing to a real newsreader that is
available for MicroSoft operating systems is Agent.

Third, you need to learn a little something about Usenet culture
and how Usenet works.

simply isn't tolerated.

would be a great hue and cry and you would learn of by even
the most casual inspection of the newsgroup. There are moderated
groups in which articles are removed (or more usually rejected
before posting) because they are not germane to the group.
This is not one of those groups. Almost all moderated groups
have the word "moderated" in their title. Some dedicated individuals
attempt to remove articles which are posted many times with exactly
the same text (i.e. spam).

The threshold for being considered spam is high enough that you will
not cross it unintentionally. Allow the removal of spam is entirely
voluntary: some newsservers allow it and others do not. If you are
worried about missing spam, you should subscribe to a newsservice
that does not allow cancels. Sometimes there are attacks in which
articles are removed or replaced by nonsense. Almost all of these
seem to be random in nature and unrelated to the content of the
articles. Again, when such an attack is occurring, it should be
obvious to anyone reading the group what is happening. Now, of
course, you may be a very special person with some very special
insight in the sources of evil in the world who, for that reason, is
the particular target of powerful international organizations and so
forth. In that case, the solution is to get back on your meds.

Finally, you could have found the answer to your question by
entering "Dominos fundamentalist" (without the quotation marks)
in google in 0.06 seconds. That's what the people who answered
your question did. But their answers may not have been the
ones you wanted because none of them know what your particular
interest in the subject is or what use you had in mind for the
information. You have a web browser. You are using it to
post to Usenet. Yes, it is a lot of trouble to go through the
links that google returns. It doesn't seem like so much trouble
if you can get someone else to do it for you.

Since when has requesting legitimate information not allowed and
since when has alt.atheism been censored? We get dozens of false
and even threatening post every day from theist. Unfounded claims
and blatant lies and threats seem to be OK but for some reason I'm
not allowed to find out about a real scumbag.

Well, yes there is a reason. Two of them, in fact. Your own laziness
and your own ignorance.

I asked for information on the owner of Domino's Pizza and his
fundamentalist activities.

My advice to anyone is to dish the multinational pizza chains and go
for a small locally owned joint instead. Why bankroll the activities
of multinational corporations?
