Big Bertha Thing welfare

29th April 1999
Operations Manager,
The Benefits Agency,

Dear Sirs,

Further to your letter of 28th April 1999,
regarding a list of questions, on the possibility of my working at all.

I will attempt to answer your questions, in order as listed in your letter.

1.I am not working, I am just pottering arround on the internet.
I last registered for course work with the Open University in
1997. This would have involved 6 hours work per week.
I could only manage half-an-hour per day, so totally failed
to do the work or complete the course. Not even one homework
assignment was completed.
In August 1997, I bought a second hand computer for 150 pounds
sterling, and was given free access to the Open University
computer along local telephone lines at a call charge of
1p per minute.
Since that time, I managed to build up a body of correspondence,
within the limits of half-an-hour per day mental or physical work.
In January 1999, this correspondence was transfered by me to my
web site; www.bertha.ndirect.co.uk(since disabled.)
I have to pay 14 pounds and 9p per month for this site.

2.Nobody suggested it, it just happened.
3.My doctor does not know that I have a web site.
4.See answer 1 for description of my activities.
No job is being done, so no job description exists.

5.No employer exists or payments have been recieved.
6.I can think straight for half-an-hour per day.
The rest of the time is spent pottering arround.
I can do one side of A4 paper of mathematics
or computer work per day.

7.On any day free of a major shopping expedition,
I can do half-an-hour of original work and
about an hour of copy typing at non-typist speeds.

8.My principle interest is a 50 year scientific project,
which was started 30 years ago.
If I could spend 48 hours per week doing it I would.
However half-an-hour work and an hour pottering,
seems to be all I can manage and
at that not every day of the week.
Due to my condition, I asked Mrs. Pam S....,
a fellow Open University student to be the project archivist
for my work on the Open University computer.
She agreed and kept the archive of the correspondence
which is now on my web site. This is both an unusual
request and an unusually generous service
to a fellow student on incapacity benefit.

9.Zero income for as far as the eye can see.
10.Not applicable, zero wages or income.
11.August 1997 and is ongoing.

I trust that the above will put the internet feeding frenzy
of the newspaper hype into some perspective.

Thank you,
Tony Lance



Big Bertha Thing rim

News from the Asian Rim front.
1. The basic mailing list has 2000 mailboxes. (two-way)
2. The rate of increase is 400 mailboxes per 6 weeks.
3. This gives 4000 mailboxes in 8 months time.
4. The 4th Battle of Cyberspace began on 21st October 2002.
5. There are 2000 new Yahoo mailboxes per 6 weeks. (one-way)
6. Each one has a Big Bertha Thing posting inside it.
7. These are not 2000 world-wide.
8. They are not even 2000 in english.
9. They are 2000 Asian Rim non-english.
10. The 8 months target is 10,000 Yahoo mailboxes closed.
11. The Big Bertha Thing web site shows that one field
of interest is spam attack strategic studies.
12. In theory the first three battles were unwinnable too.
13. The targets of all these mailboxes are newsgroup users.
14. Off-topic postings for the benefit of newsgroups are
considered to be on-topic.
15. Shi Tao got 10 years for email about China after Yahoo
named him to them. (see http)

Big Bertha Thing SMTP

My paid email service provider (SP) is still a SMTP SP, but only just.
1. An infraction happened in July 2005.
2. The second infraction of the SMTP protocol began in September 2005.
3. Prior to July 2005, a limit of 600 postings per day was set, for every
5 mailboxes. (2004 AD)
4. 500 posting per hour was also set, which gives an average of 100 per mailbox.
5. Any postings exceeding these limits were not sent.
6. Notification of all email addresses not sent to, was sent to the mailbox.
7. This was in full accordance with the official SMTP protocol.
8. In July 2005, a posting was sent from 1 of the 5 mailboxes to another.
9. The TO: mailbox filtered the FROM: mailbox posting and it was not sent,
neither were the copies. (Fixed July)
10. No notification of the email addresses not sent to, was sent to the mailbox.
11. Previously the same posting worked normally as per SMTP.
12. In September 2005, all outgoing emails were filtered by subject line and
not sent. (Fixed October) See error message below.
13. No notification of the email addresses not sent to, was sent to the mailbox.
14. There appears to be two incompatible pieces of software, one of which does
not comply with the SMTP protocol.
15. These two lack of notifications invalidate the whole purpose of the SMTP
protocol.

Big Bertha Thing german

Warning on the The Rosary for the Holy Souls in Purgatory book, by Susan Tassone.
1. This supports a meditation for each Hail Mary.
2. This excludes 3 minutes meditation on each decade.
3. The Simple Prayer Book by CTS gives 10 straight Hail Marys.
4. The CTS version fulfills most requirements for a Plenary Indulgence.
5. This Indulgence can get a Holy Soul out of Purgatory.
6. St. Dominic taught 10 straight Hail Marys.
7. St. Louis-Marie de Montfort taught 10 straight Hail Marys.
8. How can a book for Holy Souls not mention Plenary Indulgences?
9. St. Bernadette of Lourdes would not remember 200 meditations.
10. The Legion of Mary has issued warnings about the meditation for each
Hail Mary version.
11. This false version has been called the German Rosary.
12. It had a appalling effect on the rosary in Germany.
13. There is no Plenary Indulgence on this false version.
14. The sponsers have a devotion to Padre Pio.
15. Can they quote Padre Pio as being in favour of a meditation for each
Hail Mary?

Thank you,
Tony Lance
