Subject: advertizing on an .org

I was wondering. Does anyone know how much 'personal'
advertizing is allowed on an org domain? Someone has a
domain which is almost all advertizing for an internet
and telephone company and I thought this was not
allowed. Granted they do have links for the org/disease
BUT the advertizing seems to be more than fifty percent
on the opening page. Advertizing .." 5% of telephone
bill goes to this charity .." and then goes on to give
the rates of the internet company and telephone long
distance rates and the rest which goes with a internet
hookup.

As much as the site's owner wants to put up. Dot-orgs
have been available to anyone, regardless of charitable
or nonprofit status, for some time now (check out
http://www.google.org).

'Tis true. I registered (and DNS'd) bluefeathertech.net
and .org, just to keep the 'Common Three' in my servers.

.org .com & .net are really all the same.  Origionally
.org was intended to be non-profit orgs only, but there
were never any hard rules on it.

OK I am the person in question (didnt even know this
newsgroup existed but one of the ladies pointed me to
the post that was made about me)

Yes my signature file has to do with a fundraiser that I
organized to raise funds for Endometriosis Support and
Awareness.  The funds raise (up to 10%) of a persons
phone bill are being donated to the Endometriosis Assoc.
and the Endometriosis Research Center.

I have been posting on various endo boards for about a
year now to raise awareness of this important
fundraiser.  For those boards that have a problem with
it, I have stopped posting about the fundraiser.

However, most of them do not so I continue to post the
sig.

Tom, who has recently come on our board (by the way
ENDOMETRIOSIS is a WOMANS disease) posting about Iron
levels and whatnot, he has lost posting rights by
various ISPs because of his Trolling on various health
boards.

He was doing nothing but upsetting women who are there
for SUPPORT not for his off the wall diagnosis (he has
still yet to post his medical credentials) and therefore
I publically stated I was going to complain to AOL about
his behaviour.  What they do from that point forward is
up to them.  I myself have made the decision that my
time would be better spent elsewhere then dealing with
him.

If I hadnt been notified by one of the other members of
the board (WHO HAVE NO PROBLEM about me posting about
the fundraiser that will benefit ALL US women who have
the disease) I wouldnt even know this board exists.

But since it was going to start making a stink here I
wanted to stop it before it got carried away.  Again Tom
is a troll who posts to various medical boards (you name
the disease I am sure he has been chased off of there)
I am a woman with Endo and have made a complaint (have
been a member of the board since 97) He in retaliation
has now made this post.

By the way.  He has also posted his mailing address and
asked for "funding" to continue his "research" which by
the way is compiling other research articles on various
articles having to do with Iron and then somehow trying
to convince others that they mean this that and the
other and are interrelated.

Anyway I have more important thing to do then deal with
this gnat.

So I am off of here.

If any of you wish to contact me in reference to
ANYTHING in this post please email me directly at

Thank you
