schestowitzI have a new problem with techrights as of the past week. Thousands of Drupal accounts are being created by spammers every day, sending out vast amounts of email in the process and making my webhost concerned. Not sure how to stop these other than by blocking new signups.Nov 30 10:05

schestowitzHi,Nov 30 18:51
schestowitzI am not sure if it's related to this, but it seems correlated. About the same time that we had this exchange of emails my wife was no longer able to send email from her account, css@schestowitz.com. Any connection to SMTP times out, both from the phone and from the PC. POP works fine on both devices, with the same login credentials. Is it possible that the SMTP server blacklisted something? My wife and I are on the same router/IP addressNov 30 18:51
schestowitzand I have no issue connecting to SMTP from my own E-mail accounts with my own credentials. Maybe the log files can reveal what happens to sessions with css@schestowitz.com to send mail? This has been an issue for like 8 hours now and even devices other than the laptop result in the same behaviour.Nov 30 18:51

schestowitzDear Private Eye,Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzSeveral months ago you covered my story, which I broke in my site Techrights, using leaks from the European Patent Office (EPO).Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzAttached is a photo of your article from that time.Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzI would like to urgently notify you that there's a major new development in this story, as the EPO threatened me for revealing this gross abuse. This will be the subject of a BBC report today or tomorrow and it was covered by The Register less than a day ago, among other media (also outside the UK and outside Europe). See for instance:Dec 01 19:31

schestowitzI think it would be worthwhile for your readers to know about this as things are getting worse. Today there was a massive EPO staff protest in the Netherlands and this Friday there will be an even biggest protest in Munich, the EPO's main site (where perhaps a majority of the staff will protest against the management over abuses)Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzI will gladly provide any documents, information, links and so on to assist you in producing a report on this SLAPP action against EPO critics. My lawyer, David Allen Green, can provide input as well.Dec 01 19:32

schestowitz"12. In expressing his opinion regarding developments within the EPO to a member of parliament, the complainant seems to assume that it is the role of national parliaments to control the actions of international organisations. This betrays an attitude on the part of the complainant which undermines the independence of the international civil service of which he is part."Dec 02 03:23
schestowitzIt seems to me the ILOAT got this completely wrong. In the case of the EPO and most other international organisation, of course it is the role of national parliaments to control their actions...Dec 02 03:23
schestowitzThe delegates forming the Administrative Council control the EPO and who else controls the delegates than their national parliaments?Dec 02 03:23
schestowitzThe ILOAT mixed up the concepts of host state and member state. It is certainly not the role of the host state to control the international organisation (though there may be limits to that principle, as confirmed by art. 20 PPI). But member states, through their delegates, very obviously can and should keep check on the EPO. After all, the EPO does not exist for its own sake, but for the sake of the member states. Incredible how the ILOATDec 02 03:23
schestowitzcould overlook that.Dec 02 03:23
schestowitzOn the other hand, in my view an international civil servant does misunderstand his own position if he feels that he stands in a special relation to the delegate of his country of origin or to the national parliament of his country of origin. An international civil servant must serve the interests of the international organisation, not those of his country of origin. And the delegate serves the interests of his country and not those of Dec 02 03:23
schestowitzhis compatriots working for the organisation. (Obviously it is in the interests of each member state that staff of an international organisation is treated decently.) Dec 02 03:23

Other nations mimic oour worst in politics, life style, music...you name it. You can't sit in the audience. "Good Germans" sat in the audience and watched the freak show when the Nazis took the stage. It wasn't long before the audience took to the stage with the players.Dec 05 22:18

schestowitzHi,Nov 30 18:51
schestowitzI am not sure if it's related to this, but it seems correlated. About the same time that we had this exchange of emails my wife was no longer able to send email from her account, css@schestowitz.com. Any connection to SMTP times out, both from the phone and from the PC. POP works fine on both devices, with the same login credentials. Is it possible that the SMTP server blacklisted something? My wife and I are on the same router/IP addressNov 30 18:51
schestowitzand I have no issue connecting to SMTP from my own E-mail accounts with my own credentials. Maybe the log files can reveal what happens to sessions with css@schestowitz.com to send mail? This has been an issue for like 8 hours now and even devices other than the laptop result in the same behaviour.Nov 30 18:51

schestowitzDear Private Eye,Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzSeveral months ago you covered my story, which I broke in my site Techrights, using leaks from the European Patent Office (EPO).Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzAttached is a photo of your article from that time.Dec 01 19:31
schestowitzI would like to urgently notify you that there's a major new development in this story, as the EPO threatened me for revealing this gross abuse. This will be the subject of a BBC report today or tomorrow and it was covered by The Register less than a day ago, among other media (also outside the UK and outside Europe). See for instance:Dec 01 19:31

schestowitz> Long ago I read a book about the Clinton's which focused on the time he was governor of Arkansas. Since then, I have come to despise the evil couple. If she is elected president, Anita and I would be considering a move to Canada, except for the fact, after 44 years in Florida I can't tolerate cold weather. Haha! Dec 05 19:55

schestowitzThis is another example of why “liberating” people is wrong or at least futile. If those abused women prefer to obey Sharia courts instead of going to British courts, asking British police for help, or showing the finger to their communities and go elsewhere in the UK, then they really do not want to be free.Dec 05 20:03
