Damn, damn, damn.

Goodbye, Jim. And thank you for everything you've done.

Fingers crossed and prayers spoken for him. I hope he recovers quickly and completely.

I wish I could say I was surprised by this, but I'm not. What does surprise me is how the hell the man hasn't been impeached. Please, dear God, let the 2006 midterm elections show that change is on the way!

My husband mentioned the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit organization that's all about defending people's digital rights. They have lawyers who do pro bono work -- and especially given how Barbara Bauer mentioned the DMCA (which was a fallacy on her part), this legal situation may be right up their alley. Maybe Jenna et al. could give them a shout, see if they can help, gratis?

Thanks for keeping the faith, Teresa! Already blogged about this. I have serious PayPal issues, but my check is going in the mail tonight. And continued thanks to Mac, Roger, Cathy, Lori, Charlie, Dawno, Kira, Jim and everyone working feverishly to rebuild.

I blogged about helping Jenna.

Thanks, Lori/Birol, Jim, Charlie, Dawno, Kira, and everyone who's helping spread the word.

Wow, I step away for a few hours, and boom, more than 60 comments since I last checked in.

I'm glad to see that Jenna et al. are still doing everything they can to get AW back online. I wish them all the best of luck.

Thanks, Aconite. I appreciate you taking a look.

A number of banned AW people post regularly at WN, which may count for some of the stuff that's floating up. And then there are those who always go for the underdog -- even if the underdog just happened to take a huge chunk out of a cyber angel.

Fighting the good fight...

Jules: *clap clap clap*

Well said.

Hey, bash JamesC for his logic, or lack thereof, not for his spelling. Really. You might notice I can't spell worth beans. It's not as easy as people might think.

Sorry, I still shudder from "grammer."

LISA GOLDSTEIN: Me, I had trouble making it past the plea to read over any errors of "grammer."

HARRY CONNOLLY: JC_Hosting says so. Click on the link NicoleW provided and go through the post.

Grumpy Old Bookman is helping spread the word! Scroll down to "Yet another attempt to silence criticism"

ACONITE: I started the thread called "Scammer shuts down website". There's a newer thread called "Barbara Bauer," which is the one I had wanted to add your comment to.

(Sheesh. I STILL can't get in. Maybe Babs complained about WN too...)

ACONITE: It's the Writers Net forum on Literary Agents, under the Barbara Bauer topic. If you're not already a member, I think you have to register, but that's free.

Thanks muchly...

((Humph. I'm trying to connect to that site now, but it's not connecting. Sheesh...)

>> To the good gentles who are outraged that "one person" could shut down a site with a phone call...

ACONITE: May I post your comment in its entirety on another site?

Hold the phone. I just read on another site that James C is Stephanie's husband.

((Shakes head))

If this were any more of a soap opera, Babs would suddenly be revealed to be related as well...

I just ordered 5 copies of THE STREET SMART WRITER and will donate them to my local library.

Just read Neil Gaiman's blog entry. I love that man... ((dreamy sigh))

Greg, I think I must borrow your signature!

Hmm. I wonder if James is the same "JamesC" on her site.
