I have to say that this most recent posting by Bob Ling just does more to
prove Mike Cochrans point then anything else. This guy is a fruitcake.

Subject: Mike Cochran's impertinence
On Tue, 2 Jul 1996 04:14:12 -7000 (PDT), Mike Cochran <mcochran@ne*.co*>
posted a piece of complete impertinence under the SUBJECT: "2nd Message
C.J. & legal correction."
Mike Cochran has again joined the long parade of incompetent fools in his
company in the latest exhibit of his MODUS OPERANDI -- ad hominem attack
on customers/critics instead of removing the DEFECTS in Cochran products
which they disclosed! Mike attacks even when the thread was NOT about
Cochran or Cochran products, when he THOUGHT he had an excuse to do so.
In this particular instance, Mike Cochran's audacity and bad manners have
been exceeded by his excess in bad taste and absence of Netiquette & ethics.
Mike, you've just made a DAMN FOOL of yourself (again!) because:
1. Look at the SUBJECT. It's about Chuck Jone's 2nd Message and related
legal matters in the Chuu Ha archeological incident! It's NOT about
any odious Cochran tin boxes, products, or about Mike Cochran!
2. What you have posted is from my PRIVATE EMAIL to your imbecile friend
(and shill) Jim Cobb, who posted it! And used it as an excuse to
call you a "saint." Mike Cochran, you are a BIGGER SWINE than Cobb!
It's bad enough that Jim Cobb can't read and knows nothing about the
Usenet Guidelines or the ethics of not posting PRIVATE email without
the writer's permission, Mike Cochran is DUMB enough to think he can
parlay that to his advantage.
3. Mike, don't flatter yourself that you are important to anyone enough
for me to pick on YOU. Read my PRIVATE EMAIL passage under (4).
Don't you think that could have been a perfectly valid PUBLIC posting
for me to make in response to Cobb instead of mailing it to him in EMAIL?
You and your company are HISTORY in my book, and those of many others.
Anyone interested in any of the Cochran's shameful past can look up
the archives, and JUDGE FOR THEMSELVES. Perhaps Cochran just wants
to start a new chapter of his shameful present. Go for it, Mike.
4. There's nothing wrong with the passage Mike chose to use EXCEPT:
(a) It was in a PRIVATE EMAIL to Mike's imbecile friend Jim Cobb.
(b) I am quite capable of POSTING the same. But I didn't.
(c) Mike, this was the COMPLETE paragraph in the EMAIL Jim Cobb
posted! Don't quote it out of context by chopping out the most
pertinent parts:
>>Yeah, I was the CONSUMER ADVOCATE who exposed Cochran's Nemesis-Pro as
>>a piece of unsafe and useless tin-box; exposed Cochran himself and the
>>WetOne as PUBLIC LIARS (without ANY denials from them on specific lies
>>charged); and drove them off the net for posting thinly-disguised ads.
>>What more do you want? I did get some help from Carl Heinzl and a few
>>others in exposing Cochran and his company for what they are though.
and it was my response to Jim Cobb's worthless comment in the Jones thread,
JC> Say, aren't you that MANIAC on rec.scuba who has spent half his life
JC> railing against Cochran dive computers?
5. Mike, I hope your posting has earned you a few new, admiring customers
for your mahvelous products! You are such a SAINT!
-- Bob.
