Hi can you tell if saliva b has a son by the name of richard who goes by ricky on the psychic source website as an psycic advisor. I ask because about eighteen years ago I worked with a guy by the name of Richard Dufresne (sp?) who told me his mother was a famous psychic. Richard only worked with me for a short while and then quit to go back to California where he was from. He was very difficult to get along with so I’m hesitant to call up this website and ask this Ricky adviser if he is my old co-worker. Could his second name be Paul?

I actually had a reading with Sylvia several years ago….WASTE of my money…don’t do it!! Keep your money ..I wished to hell that I had…. Not anything she told me came to pass. and she did not see a major health event in my life a couple of months after I spoke with her >>>>most people want to know about their health and she should have picked up on the problem ( as good as she claims to be a medical intuitive…what a bunch of BS!!!! Her son Chris is also a Fraud!!!! wrote of my experience to Mr. Lancaster, But it was right around the time of his illness…Hope he’s is doing better..

Since when did all of you Sylvia bashers become her judge and jury? This should be left up to the higher power. You must have a lot of time on your hands to trash people – you are the trash that needs to be taken to the dump not Sylvia.

I am not sure about stopping Sylvia but her son Chris is another story. He told me on August o7 that my father in-law would be around for a long time, that he might have some trouble with his immune system but other than that he would be fine. Well within a month he was told that he had lung cancer and within another three months he was dead.

No, Thankyou BA!

If anyone’s wondering the bit I missed with the error message that’s now been corrected was just the very prosaic line :

I just looked up that site, nothing came up and whois.net suggested the domain might be free again. Maybe I typed the wrong thing in, but if it is free, who friendly to the cause will grab it?

Come on people you are being too harsh. Sylvia is just a human, just right the rest of us…OK She is totally irrational , she has no perspective on reality, but doe’s that make her any different from the rest of us??

OK maybe it doe’s e.

But see a matinee!

I kept reading this as “But see a manatee!” I didn’t make much sense, but it was still an awesome ending. Punch a Dugong!

What a slime bag. I went to the old like a few days ago and was sure I got sucked into some whacked out parallel mentioned where everything was all topsy turvy. I’ve since repointed the link on my blog to the new site.

Evolving Squid, that’s not the way it works, nor has it ever been. And “The InterNIC” doesn’t exist anymore as such.

The comments that the name wasn’t stolen are correct, and there’s *almost* nothing that can be done other than buying it.

But there are avenues (both legal and ethical) outside of that realm, if the original owner wanted to pursue them.

This is what I do for a living

This whole ordeal is rather upsetting, but I like that Lancaster doesn’t know how to quit.

The listing has been removed from eBay, no doubt due to the many reports of its misleading text.

I contacted the new owner of this domain name and he wants $10k for it. That’s also his reserve price on eBay. I can’t see rewarding someone like this with that kind of money or I’d buy it myself.

I think that the “error occurred while processing rational thought” message could charitably be applied to Browne and her ilk…

Finally got back to work (and computer access) and, grumph grumph, have to check in to see that the charlatan Sylvia Browne is back here again. I hope JREF, Robert, Phil, and whoever else with an audience can continue to erode her “credibility”. Taking money from people the way she does is just, it’s just beyond the pale.

Well, not sure how much I can do. I’ll try to push up the new Stop Sylvia site on places like Stumble Upon and the others. Get better Robert!

Ah, a lot of the reviews (all?) seem to have that :

“error occurred while processing this directive” mesage on them. Not sure why or what’s missing but at least on my computer when I was reading some of the other reviews (Eg. StarWars prequels, Contact) had that at their ends too.

Thanks Shane! That’s just what I was after … Appreciated.

That was a good review – wonder if the BA has finally read the original 1898 HG Wells novel yet?

There is justwone thing though – the last paragraph of the conclusion there maybe missing something … I think?

“So I liked a lot of it, and disliked a lot of it. It’s a tense, scary movie, and like many movies of this genre, won’t translate well to the small screen, so see it while it’s in the theaters. But see a matinee! [an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive] [an error occurred while processing this directive] (What the …?)

Oh, I was certainly using the world “stole” in metaphorical way.

The internic used to take a pretty dim view of sliming in on an expired registration. If the guy wanted to, he could probably appeal to the internic – explain his situation, explain the already existing content that has been forced to move, explain that the person who took it really isn’t using it, and call it a trademark infringement.

Odds are good the domain will be returned if he does that.

@adrian: I agree with you, but as long as people continue to pay these squatters for domains, the industry will flourish.

It’s stuff like this that makes me wish it weren’t possible to speculate on domain names.
