The David and Andy Show!

Yes, a box popped up requesting me to agree to certain terms, I clicked the box and it stated that my post would be viewed by an administrator prior to posting. And then I got frozen out of the entire site.

I did not click the OK button but cannot get on the site. I am probably banished, even if I did not consent to the notification. Go figure!

I can experiment from another computer...


Well! That was a bit interesting. I do not know about these changes where one can be kept from even reading a website. I do not know if it is address sensitive or access point sensitive but my experiments indicate assess point sensitive.

Anyway, the only thing I can conclude is that Suijuris2 was down and that while I was troubleshooting it came back up. No problems. No worries...


[Strictly speaking though; it seems that by switching over to a different access point, that defeats the block (if there was one). Then I just came back to my favored access point and everything was back to normal. But one experiment even from an electronics engineer is not much to go on.]

The thing is that I made no such request and have treated that thread no differently than any other thread there. It is like Jerseee entered the request for me and it was awaiting my approval.

So Jerseee basically, for whatever reason planted a consent window for me to be notified: attached screen image will explain my acknowledgement a little better.

That was rough.

I was just toying around with the idea that albeit they can ban me anytime they want, they might try getting a mouse click acknowledging I have been warned first.

He's back.

He must have gotten busy with work at the Treasury, but now he has time for me again. I think he is busy distracting people from reading the first paragraph of the quote and realizing the justices are saying, "If only we could find a 1040 Form to look at (in the record) we would have gone the other way."

The Supreme Court, however, has made clear that tax forms such as the 1040 are information collection requests within the meaning of the Act. Dole v. United Steelworkers of America, 494 U.S. 26, 33 (1990) (“Typical information collection requests include tax forms, medicare forms, financial loan applications, job applications, questionnaires, compliance reports, and tax or business records. These information requests share at least one characteristic: The information requested is provided to a federal agency, either directly or indirectly.”) (internal citations omitted); see United States v. Collins, 920 F.2d 619, 630 n.12 (10th Cir. 1990). Therefore, we need to ask whether the 1040 is excepted from the two requirements set out above in 44 U.S.C. § 35122 and, if not, whether the 1040
complies with those requirements.

But Pond did not include any of the 1040 that he challenges in the record for us to review, so we cannot address his arguments. With no support in the record for his petition of relief, we must deny his claim.

He called me DumDum...
