It's a long time ago Mike, and I was badly miffed at the time.
But it's really laughable now and I'm not a vindictive guy. In any
case, any action is statute barred as I'm talking about 13+ years ago.
And the old VeloNet has been mostly inactive since the Usenet
NewsGroups became more popular and it morphed into cycling.org in
1995_1996 or somewhereabouts due to having been attacked by the
Numero Uno ****** of the Cycling News outlets, "Velo News"
But VeloNet still grunts when you kick it! It was run on
http://cycling.org/ for which
icky Ettema from KiwiReich is still
keeping keeping the flag flying. Why VeloNet became cycling.org was
down to the Rabid Predatory Capitalist tactics of VeloNews.
Davey is of the opinion that anyone who'd read that rag would Worry Rats
You can read some of the sorry tale here
http://www.kycyclist.org/history.html
The link above doesn't tell the whole story and it was much more
bitter. But initially they backed off after around 20,000 subscribers
cancelled their subscriptions, but the assholes came back again a few
months later with another cannonade!!
The cycling news business is really Dog Eat Dog and Davey has
experienced it up close and personal with his "Pro News" newsletter
and Website and later with "SixDay" when the "Mainstream" asshole
cycling press variously attempted to shut him down, intimidate,
harrass and sabotage him.
And things haven't changed. As a matter of fact it has hotted up!!!
Davey used to write a daily column for Paul Allen's online rag -
forget what he actually called it now - Steven, or someone else might
remember - and the tales that he used to tell about the stunts the
competition used to pull would disgust any civilized individual.
Geez, and someone thought I should start my SixDay site up again
Davey never in his life backed off from a fight, but on the other
hand, he doesn't go looking for one either.
But what the Hell. With Davey hearing, albeit faintly, the beating of
the wings of the Angel of Death, it might be a real gas to get back
into the fray.
