Don't you see anything wrong with publicizing pictures of a person,
who has been targeted by Armenian terrorists in quite recent past,
and endangering his life even more?

I am saving your admission to these activities by Zaphiris Christidis
and zoro.cis.temple's involvement, you can be sure about that.

I don't understand why you are complaining about ftp connections after
admitting that you yourself publicized zoro.cis.temple.edu. How about
the fact that zoro.cis.temple.edu is an educational site and shouldn't
have anything to do with your dirty tricks?

I don't need your fantasies Zaphiris, whatever you "thought" is
irrelevant. The only relevant thing is that you have been giving
out pictures of a person who has been subjected to terrorist attacks
by Armenian terrorists recently. When/if an Armenian terrorist is
caught with a copy of the material you have placed in zoro.cis.temple
illegally, you and zoro.cis.temple will be in deep trouble.

Let me see. You created a world writable FTP directory (which is a dumb
thing to do first of all), publicized the ftp address, zoro.cis.temple.edu,
put "gif" files into a directory and now you are complaining that despite
"warnings" in "cosar.txt" "some porno gifs" were moved in this very directory
that you have particularly created with world-writable access rights?

BTW, are these some samples of your "warnings?"

	"please deposit your *.gif picture in the directory"
	
	"In any case, you can try as many tricks as you like"

Oboy, you have some "warnings" there, don't you?

It is "watson.ibm.com", I guess you don't even know your e-mail
address, or are you someone forging Zaphiris' messages?

Look who is talking about "illegally?" You wanted to play games with
ftp/Usenet and ended up with a bleeding nose. Now you are crying "faul"
all over Usenet and asking for "apology", where is your "honesty" and
"responsibility?"

>But nothing illegal here. The logs just show that he is "dead guilty",
>and a public apology is in order.

On the other hand I strongly urge you to delete the directories you
have created on zoro.cis.temple.edu and hope that Armenian terrorists
don't have access to FTP. After that you can come forward like a decent
person and apologize from Mutlu for your tricks.

>Regards,

You shouldn't blame people for the results of a situation you have
brought upon yourself Zaphiris, which you did quite willingly and even
cheerfully.
