I am aware of that, I was just trying to show that he lied. He stated in that article that my posts to the newsgroup were off-topic. There were enough people in the athomesvc group that saw my posts and they can attest to the fact that they were *very* relevant to the discussions at hand. That was what he lied about.
Now, I was only trying to point out that he lied once and that he was probably also lying about the notification.
Hello Chris..!
Wow, it's been a little while since I posted to the group using Goku.;-)
You are right though, I was accused on a few occasions of working for either @Home or an MSO, and just because I would help out where I could.
Oh well, looks like we're both gone from cable. To tell you the truth, the main thing I miss now that I don't have cable anymore, is the people from the athomesvc newsgroup. I don't miss the group itself, or even @Home, just the group of people that posted to that newsgroup. They were/are a great bunch of people.
I have the highest respect for many of them. Oh well, maybe I'll run into some of them now and again....:-)
This Sullivan lied about my posts to the newsgroup being off topic. They were athome service documents posted to an athome service newsgroup. It doesn't get any more on-topic.
That's why I think he's also lying about notifying me. Plus, they could have sent it to my @Home account knowing full well that when they terminated my account, I didn't have access anymore...!

Greetings, Yes, it's me. My name is Wesley and I am the subject in question here. I had my account terminated by AT&T@Home.
I am replying to this perticular comment because of something that this Sullivan character said in the article. He claimed that the articles I posted to the athomesvc newsgroup were not even relevant to the issues being discussed in the newsgroup. That is insane. The group is about the athome service and I posted @Home service documents. How much more on-topic could they have been..?
I am saying point blank that this Mr. Sullivan is blatantly lying. There are plenty of people in the athomesvc newsgroup that can backup what I'm saying about those DOCs I cut-n-pasted being on-topic. Not only that, when I called @Home's abuse policy management number initially about this, they told me that I was terminated because I made off-topic posts to the newsgroup. Now, other than the obvious here, the charters for the athome newsgroups have not been made available by @Home in over 3 years. I've asked for them many times myself. Now, my account was terminated on Thursday the 5th, and I was told that the charters were finally posted to the group by @Home the following Monday. They made them available 4 days *after* they killed me..!
Also, if this Sullivan is lying about how these documents were suposedly off-topic, can he be trusted about my being notified..?
Plus, @Home couldn't send me an email, could they..? Where would they send it to..? My @Home email account..? They had killed my cable modem, how was I to receive it..?
They didn't have another email address to send anything to. They never called me asking for an alternate email address. Heck, they never called me about this other than that initial call on Thursday, the day I was terminated. My wife took the message and *all* it said was that I was to call a phone number (1-650-xxx - @Home's Policy Management) about my account and they gave a reference number. That's it. That's the only time they called me.
I would also like to add that I have never, ever, not even once, been warned about anything, ever, during my 3 or so years with the @Home service. I think that maybe a warning would have been nice.
I am starting to think that AT&T and @Home actually like the publicity they are getting. They have yet to ask me to stop. Yes, I typed that correctly... They have NOT asked me to stop.
That's got to tell you something...
Good Luck and Godspeed,
--Wesley
