"Retic Postings and SPAM"

There have been multiple accusations that the postings of H.E. Retic
are SPAM. The writer's postings are carefully constructed so as remain
within the commonly accepted rules concerning SPAM, to wit:

1. Postings of essentially identical material shall not be made to more
than eight Newsgroups. The writer has limited his postings to seven
Newsgroups.

2. Postings of essentially identical material shall not be made more
frequently than every 14 days. The writer's posting are separated by a
longer time span.

3. Postings shall be reasonably close to the topic to which the
Newsgroups is dedicated. My postings are closer to being on topic for each
Newsgroup than are most of the postings within that group.

4. The postings shall not be used for commercial purposes. They are
not.

5. There shall be no alteration of the header material of the
postings. While the postings are made under many different E-mail names,
however my ISP provides for multiple user names and permits them to be
altered at will.

None of the writer's actions constitute SPAM as it is currently
defined. The accusations that the writer is a SPAMMER can reasonably
considered to be the slanderous behavior of sick minds. My postings are to
de facto public newsgroups which, as such, cannot limit their postings to
material that agrees with the majority viewpoint and still retain their
legitimacy. That type of censorship is legitimate only when done by
moderated groups. To avoid this censorship, the writer has made use of his
ISP's useful capability of allowing E-mail name changes. (It has been
alleged that such changes are the characteristic of a "crank". They are not,
they are the response of any reasonable individual whose ideas are being
suppressed.)

The writer concludes that the strident protest against the writer's
postings can only result from fear, otherwise why wouldn't they just be
ignored if the content were thought not to be valid. After all, there are
many more foolish postings than mine made to these Newsgroups without
evoking complaint. The only reason for the complaints would seem to be that
the complainer is not upset by the fact the posted material is "wrong", he
is upset by the idea that they challenge what he has been taught and he may
be forced to "go back to the drawing board" and relearn his physics.

Even more sinister is the possibility that the complainers know that
their science is defective and wish to shield it from question from students
of the subject. Such questions make it much more difficult to indoctrinate
students with the "one true faith" which must not be questioned. It should
be noted that the complainers have not attempted to answer any of the basic
questions which have been raised, instead they have resorted to
vilification.

The material at the Website has been posted continuously for over 8
years. In that time THERE HAVE BEEN NO OBJECTIVE REBUTTALS OF ANY OF THE

objectively answered, the material at the Website will be withdrawn.
Challenges to date have revealed only the responder's inadequacy with one
