Moving from Spadina to Bathurst:

Riviera: Cheap!, nonethnic, TV! (you can watch star trek while having supper:-)
Asklepeion: Greek, spaceous, wholesome food, relaxed
L'Europe: Hungarian, upscale, romantic?, old-fashioned
Blue Cellar Room: Same kitchen as Europe, cheap, very dark
Future: Wholesome, exclectic, friendly, not intimate, open till after 2
Korona: Hungarian, wholesome, cheap, ample, most eclectic music, closes early
Renaissance Cafe: Vegetarian, simple, friendly
Foodworks: Mutilated cow carcases, large selection of beers, yuppie food
There are many more (Hungarian, Italian, Indian, Mideastern, Mexican, Pubfare)

However, you may wish to venture a bit further south - my suggestion:
Kensington Kitchen, Harbord/Major: Mid-east, good food & atmosphere.  If you
	want quiet, check out upstairs.
Boulevard Cafe, Harbord/Lippincott: Peruvian, serene, atmosphere.
Poretta, Harbord/Robert: Italian, excellent, family run, not cheap.

I am a student at McMaster in Hamilton and also have a phone line at my
parent's home (and my own off-and-on-home) in Thornhill.  I have an
answering machine at this number and call from Hamilton to Thornhill to
remotely receive messages which are often from people who don't know
my current Hamilton number or from companies looking at my resume, etc...

I get REALLY annoyed when I am wasting time and money listening long distance
to stupid computerized messages from equally stupid companies record on
my answering machine!  They drive me crazy!  I have received so many from
so many different companies.  Some want to clean my carpets!  Some want
to offer me an income of $10,000 a month without any work or experience.

I would love to know what I can do to help stop this incredibly annoying
practice!  I don't mind receiving all the junk mail that I do.  But I
HATE these stupid calls!

My two cents:

It is my impression that under the system we had until recently, by 
which I mean that evil monopoly, Bell Canada, being the only phone
service available, the paying Canadian public was overcharged for
long distance services.

This is what some people would have us believe.

Now they come along and say that any company is allowed to apply and 
deal in long distance services.  They do so and up spring more than
a few companies offering seemingly impossibly cheap rates which could 
save you, the comsumer, up to 50% on your phone bill.

How can they do this?  you might ask.  Is this not proof that Bell
has been ripping us off for years.

For me the answer is a resounding no. 

I lived for 1 year in England and 1 year in Germany, and have seen how
their phone systems work.  My particular beef is the idea of paying
for every local call from a private telephone.  Bell Canada, on the
other hand charges a low monthly rate for unlimited use, and subsidizes 
this rate by using revenues generated by long distance telephone calls.

Canadians have come to see a telephone as a natural convenience.  Multiple
phone lines and people casually making long local calls are commonplace
in my experience.  This could change if nothing is done to stop it.

To my knowledge, the fledgling long distance companies are not required
to subsidize local calls - after all, it's none of their business - and
in fact they are at the moment given huge breaks on the use of Bell
owned hardware; all this because someone thinks it unfair to allow one
company to exclusively offer a service.  Even if it is one of the
best and most affordable systems in the world.

I have never had problems with Bell Canada myself, including multiple
residence lines, setting up new accounts, moving telephone numbers
to new residences, or servicing problems on the lines.

For these reasons, I plan to support Bell Canada, and continue with
my current services.

Soon I hope.  Seeing the same innapropriate post over and over probably

No argument.  CRS just happens to be in our own back yard.

It seems to be rising.  Do you remember how CRS people were using the
newsgroups to send personal messages to each other a few years ago?  
It seemed like it didn't stop until there was some complaining on the
net about it.  A little embarassment never killed anyone.  (I should
know :-)  )

>management at CRS has been very responsive when i sent messages saying "this
>user is cutting real close to the ettiquete rules", or "this user is
>subscribing to ftp-mail services".

That's great.  Perhaps they should post once in a while letting the rest
of us know that they aren't ignoring the misuses of the net.  Those of
us not connected to them just get to see the abuse.

>BS commercial posts come from all over.

Which is no excuse.

 Hello All - and powers that govern:

 I would like to learn what is allowed here in the way of advertising
 anything for sale or trade.

 - Does it have to be one's own possession, or can it be commercial ?

 - Can there be UUENCODED GIF's sent by Email thru here ?

 - If so, would/should there be a size limit on # of messages per GIF?

 - Would there be sufficient interest for Email GIF's ?

 - Or is there sufficient interest in access to downloading GIF's ?

 Many thanks for your responses of enlightenment.

 Please reply, including where you saw this message,
