Re: Winlogon accessing the internet

WTF man you are just like all the other trolls. Did you read where I said
that I am an "Official Mirror" do you know what means or do you just chose
not to believe it? I have been dealing with these trolls for over a year
now. I became a mirror because I got tired of reading posts and log files
from people using out dated software. My software is always up to date as I
get it from the vendors along with the new betas for testing. I have the
licenses to prove it. I will not post it here because it has private
information contained in it and quite frankly I have nothing to prove to you
or anyone. As far as my site being listed in that mvps host file he is just
another idiot who tried to shut me down by complaining to my ISP. He tried
real hard and even tried to use his "MVP" status to get it done. He is just
another in a long line of failed kooks who believed the trolls and hate it
when they are wrong. I can care less if I'm in his hosts file. AS far as
http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/ that page is supposed to be blank, it is
by design.

Glad you got it working.

I haven't posted much here lately, but I have been lurking. I'll provide
my take on things
anyway, with the hope you'll listen to what I consider an objective point
of view.

Unless you are specifically authorized to mirror a specific package, you
should only
provide links to the original distributors' site, not copies that may be
out of date, or may
have been altered. Please note, that I'm not saying you have altered any
of the packages
you've chosen to mirror, just that you could, if you wanted to, and a
newbie wouldn't know
the difference.

The primary complaint of your articles, that I've read, have been
regarding encouraging
newbies to trust you to have current, unaltered packages available for
download,
on your website. Again, I'm not saying you don't. I'm simply agreeing
with others here,
that you are not encouraging safe-hex, by suggesting newbies should trust
you to have
up-to-date, unaltered copies of others software, on your website, when
they have no
way of knowing, who you are.

Upon my first attempt to see what you do have on your website, I found
that
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.txt
includes
127.0.0.1 www.pcbutts1.com #[Unauthorized Downloads]
so I couldn't even see your site without modifying my hosts file. After
altering
my hosts file, to allow access, http://www.pcbutts1.com/downloads/ only
shows
a blank page, as
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pcbutts1.com%2Fdownloads%2F
shows the site does not follow html, or xhtml standards.

I hope that you really are trying to help people, and have just run into
some personality
conflicts here, that have made you choose to ignore the advice given here.

Please make your website w3c compliant, so non-windows users can see it.

Please use links to the vendors websites, unless you have specific
permission to
act as a mirror, and in that case, make sure the vendor states that
somewhere on
their website.

Please do not encourage newbies to download software from sites that have
not
been authorized by the author's vendors.

While I agree with you that HGT logs are on topic here, as I expressed a
year and
a half ago, in
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.virus/msg/f4fb7eeefca675ff?dmode=source
posting hgt logs in the newsgroups clutters search results. In my
opinion, the logs
should only be posted to one (or more) of the many forums specifically
designated
for them.

Again, while I won't be surprised if you choose to interpret the above as
being overly
critical, I hope you will consider it as an objective viewpoint. It would
also probably
help if you would drop the profanity from your articles, and learn to read
what you're
about to post, trying to imagine it from other peoples point of view.

Regards, Dave Hodgins
