As most intelligent users of these newsgroups are aware, these newsgroups
are for free support. Stevie has a track record of preying on unsuspecting
users. If he was any good, his repeat business should pre-empt any
requirement to solicit in these newsgroups.
As to slander, stevie needs to find a new dictionary. The word he is
attempting to use is libel, but since nothing that anyone has written about
him is false or malicious, that word does not apply. Of course, the same can
not be said about stevie. His libellous accusations could keep a lawyer in
business for a lifetime, but most of the users of these newsgroups are too
mature to be bothered by stevie's childish rants.
As to not making any helpful suggestions, you only have to go back as far as
yesterday and see a post in this newsgroup where stevie gave the OP the
wrong solution and I had to supply a correct solution. (stevie, this is what
is called libel, you have written something you know to be untrue)
