Sorry you are experiencing a problem
>From the header - This is apparently coming from a Mitchel Haynes
mitchell haynes <buybroker_at_yahoo.com> - is this correct?
I initially thought messages coming from this person were a scam and
challenged them when they started posting to our list as well.
I had someone do a check on them.
it is apparent that they have written some software and they think its ants-pants.
They have tried to post
things
on the Purdue list, they have used every possible website and email
discussion group to get cross listed to boost their ratings on
Google.
Basically I view their behavior as very tenuous and from the message
you
sent me, it appears that it is not appropriate to do what they are
doing...
I have taken the following action:
Steve Kelley has been instructed to remove their email and any
postings on the Purdue list. They are now banned
2. I am going to Copying Bartek Rajwa the editor of the ISAC site to
beware of them
3. I am contacting Google and other sites to let them know that these
people are self-propagating links.
4. If I see any message that in any way impunes Purdue or our
reputation, I will go after them with every possible legal recourse
at
my disposal. We will not allow our reputation to suffer because of
commercial abuse.
5. You should ban this address, and basically indicate to your
members
that this is a scam. While they claim to be legitimate, they are
acting
exactly as any scam artist...I already told them that they were
acting
as scammers and they got upset with me...well, if they don't desist,
they will find out how much influence we actually have...
I will check the message
> Subject: flow cytometry software will you trust Purdue..Lets play
MONOPOLY
> Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2007 09:38:56 -0800 (PST)
> Organization: http://groups.google.com
and see if this is actually libelous - it appears to be - and if it
is,
I will close this person down really, really fast!!! (Steve please
check
out this message and make a copy)
Larry, we have about 3000 people on the Purdue discussion list which
is
primarily about cytometry - and a lot of flow cytometry - to join,
people actually have to go through me, and we review every person who
comes on.
I am sorry you are experiencing this problem, and we are happy to
help
in any way we can.
regards

Original Letter written to Robert Murphy NOT J Paul Robinson about New Flow Cytometry Software Developed.
The Request was from BD. The engineer Requesting the issues be resolved was Bill Gunderman.
The software was Overnighted to Mr. Gunderman. After this message was Sent by
J Paul Robinson
Mr. Gunderman would NOT return Phone calls for 3 Months. Eventually the Discs. were sent back but they were Damaged/destroyed!
When Mr. Gunderman answered my call after 3 months he claimed we are their Competitors.
The software Resolved Large Parameter Files external Memory Issues so the Laptops and other PC's would NOT lock up any more.
Original Message sent to Bob Murphy might help with the Ants- Pants Definition
Dear Robert Murphy
NEW
FLOWCYTOMETRY SOFTWARE FOR ALL BD and Beckman/Coulter Flow Cytometers
CAN
PROCESS 24,000-42,000 SAMPLES PER HOUR. FLOW CYTOMETRY FCS CYTO PRO
QUICK FACS http://www.kanecki.com/flow.html
Increased quality and productivity. With 10,000,000 event files, you
can process 24,000-samples/hour, and maintain quality up to Sigma 5
or
better. Compare this to having your research technologist performing only 100 samples/hour analysis.
Increased laboratory utilization by 3X because you can perform the
analysis off-lab and free laboratory time for reading samples.
This
was achieved when I developed the program, and we had a program
project grant from 1992 to 1998 of $8M.
Works with FCS 3.0 in all data modes as floating point, integer*4,
and
ASCII.
Works with BD and Beckman/Coulter Flow Cytometers and Cell Sorters
Backwards compatible with FCS 2.0 files and Flow Cytometers and Cell
Sorters.
Can read FCS 3.0 files up to 10M events with 20 parameters.
Easy to
Use, three step process. Load initial file, set gate, specify file
list to process. That's it.
Collaboration tools to allow you to cut and paste image results to
results.
Statistical analysis results imprinted on histogram plots directly as
mean, mode, and median with the ability to present results in log
mode
or linear mode, depending on the detector used. Plain vanilla coding
for easy update and maintenance to allow for the greatest user and
software quality.
One time purchase fee, no yearly renewal fees as with others. Proven
tract record in FACS, Fluorescent Activated Cell Sorter Laboratory.
The laboratory was rated the best laboratory in the Midwest USA in
1990.
This application is designed for large-scale fluorescent activated
cell sorter
analysis. The program can read up to FCS 3.0 files and has been
tested
to run on Becton Dickinson and CoulterOrtho based flow cytometers and
cell sorters.
The main advantage of this program is that you can have
the computer perform the analysis for you after you have selected the
region to analyze. The result is that up to 24,000 samples per hour
can be analyzed on a 1.4 GHz speed computer. This program is designed
for researcher and technologist use. It uses rectangular gating, and
is intuitive to use. To use this program, the FCS must have the
extension, *.bin as "54203023.bin" as an example. The *.bin extension
is what the computer uses to locate the files on the computer.

Steve
what is this email - it came to me with Bob Murphy's name associated
with it. It seems to be an advertisement, this junk mail, and it
seems
to have been modified by you ...
So I guess I am confused. was this sent to the list, or do you have
an
details about it - i am concerned about these junk messages going out
to
our members, - if they are using our lists, I will deal with them
appropriately, but I am not happy
any info you can give
thanks

This is J Paul Robinson's Response. In the answer he calls it JUNK MAIL. So, you can look up Junkmail and Ants-Pants Software to find a Definition that looks Close.
