Re:I was denied from even using OSS
I can't discuss with you the technical information because I in-deed and in-word honored the fellow that hired me. What I can discuss with you is that, in summary, the determination to use the in-house software was after-the-fact and incapable of peforming the function they wanted.
Hello. It's like they have a square nail that needs to be hammered into a round hole. It's not going to happen. Someone is puting too much confidence in the legal department as if they are natural law: they are not, and deal completely in a fictitious world to which they are the cause of the imbalance. Part of being payed to do somthing is that I am granted use of the property to improve upon it to another's satisfaction or I revert it back to the prior state or character. In matters that reversion does not allow, sadly that could forfeit the verry bond measured to the property's value that had been tendered conditionally to whomever hired me. And trust my attitude to the cross and dot, I distinguish people looking to blame an impossible fix to collect their bond versus honest work needing to be done.
The imaginary La La Land brought on by attorneys is like that of Steve Balmer, but from a Quatloos.com forum standpoint like these freakish people think they are protecting anyone else but to hide their own insecurities and illogical skepticisms.

Re:Is this the lawsuit application?
I receive quite a few Nigerian email messages every month, I must be on their mailing list. There is actually an online Museum of Nigerian Scam Letters with almost 5,000 examples. Perhaps I should submit a few more examples to their museum. The website classifies those as an "advance fee fraud."

Don't believe any of that bunk. All those arguements are completely debunked here.

Re:Don't sue the spammer: sue the ADVERTIZER"The SPAM wouldn't be sent if they didn't order it."
That's not entirely true. Some spammers will send out fake spam, often as a means of retaliation against various anti-spam advocates. For example, here is one such case.
If it becomes standard practice to sue the advertisers in spam, spammers will just include more random, innocent third-parties in their spamming runs. The result will be enough doubt over guilt that it'd be impossible to figure out who was really responsible.

Re:death and taxes
On the off chance that you aren't an idiot or a troll and might actually be willing to learn something, try this FAQ. It goes to great lengths, more than these anti-tax bozos deserve, to explain just how our tinfoil-hat-wearing nutjob brethren have been misled. For even more good info, try this link, this link and this link.
And if you want it straight from the horses mouth, the be-all and end-all summary page explaining why these tax resistor folks are barking up the wrong tree, try this link.

Re:sounds like fun"While ruling that a tax upon income from real and personal property is invalid in the absence of apportionment, the Supreme Court explicitly stated that taxes on income from one's employment are not direct taxes and are not subject to the necessity of apportionment." (From www.quatloos.com.)
Actually, they have a huge volume of information that debunks a variety of wild and whacked-out theories that various naive individuals have been fooled into beleiving by scammers out to make a few bucks. (The usually pitch something like "Send me $15, and I'll send you information that will allow you to legally avoid federal income taxes for the rest of your life!")

Re:Sigh.But
... the IRS isn't a branch of the gov't. Its a civilian company contracted to handle the collection of the Federal Income Tax.You figured it out! Also, you don't have to pay your income tax because the "United States" consists only of the D.C. and other federal territories, so as long as you don't live in any of those places...
Moron.
In case you're even remotely serious and not just a troll, you might want to check out this list of tax scams. The one you referred to is covered here, and the one I mentioned is here.
These IRS scams are the next best thing to Nigerian 419's - and likely to be more dangerous to your financial health, if you try to follow through on them.
