CHA CHING, CHA CHING, CHA CHING!!!! Guys,
I'm going to retire from all the money I've been making on this! If
they only knew that each of their posts put another nickel in my
pocket. ...

We do know, and now NEFF knows.

Advertisers on NEFF expect that their ads are seen by the
subscribers of NEFF. What Dennis Cabarle is doing is cheating
and lying to his advertisers because the vast majority of the
traffic on NEFF forums comes from Usenet users who have never
seen a NEFF advertisement. This is the work of a despicable
creep, folks. It is dishonest and sleazy.

Think of the Usenet fly fishing groups roff and rofft as the
corner bars of cyberspace where anyone can stop by to talk
about fly fishing. Along comes a group of Japanese tourists
who stop by to listen in and participate. The trouble is they
all understand English but they speak amongst themselves only
in Japanese. And they're loud and rude. On top of which their
tour guide put a microphone in the bar, claimed the conversation
was all his doing and charged people money to advertise to the
fly fishermen.

I honestly don't know how the subscribers to NEFF can remain
subscribed to such a sleazy outfit. The whole thing reeks.
