    Nayas Admits Errors, Promises to Be Honest Going Forward, Switches to
    Verizon
    April 1, 2006, 9:22 AM source: APN

    John Nayas, who has gained a reputation on Usenet newsgroups as the most
    dishonest poster of the 21st century, announced today that he's turning
    over a new leaf, and from now on will post only verifiable facts. Nayas
    stated, "It was fun being the devils advocate, but I think that people
    got tired of of me posting incorrect information day, after day...it
    just got really old."

    Nayas, who's become famous for his content-free responses when he's
    unable to counter referenced facts, said that he apologizes for his
    habit of posting one-liners consisting of "Rubbish," "Nonsense," "Good
    Scramble," "Not True," etc., when backed into a corner. "It was
    childish," he admitted, "I've grown up and will now gracefully admit my
    mistakes."

    When asked why he's been defending Cingular for so many years, almost
    always with false statements, he simply shrugged and stated, "I felt bad
    for them, I always root for the underdog. Cingular entered the wireless
    game very late in my area, they got stuck with 1900 Mhz, and they
    finally had to buy AT&T Wireless in order to solve their coverage
    problems. They constantly get hammered in all the independent surveys of
    cellular coverage and quality. Someone had to make up stories to counter
    the facts, and I took on that responsibility."

    Nayas confirmed that he is changing his wireless carrier from Cingular
    to Verizon, because he's had no Cingular coverage at his home for the
    past 6 years, "I put on a good show, and fooled a lot of people, but I'm
    tired of having to drive three miles in order to make a call." He
    continued, "people always get my voice mail, and think that my phone is
    off, but in reality I'm home, and I have to retrieve my Cingular voice
    mail from my land-line. Verizon has great coverage at my house, and I'll
    finally be able to use my phone on my sailboat."

    Nayas also admitted that in reality he's a Democrat, and that believes
    in open competition. He secretly deplored the 2005 FCC decision to
    eliminate competition in the DSL market, and he is lobbying the FCC to
    rescind their August 2005 decision. Nayas stated: "I used to always link
    to studies from the Hoover Institution, until someone informed me about
    their political bias, and their connections to big business. Wow! I was
    surprised, as I've had nothing but good service from their cleaning
    appliances."

    Nayas also promised to fix his Cingular FAQ on Wikipedia, which contains
    hundreds of incorrect statements.

    For whatever reason, the Sunday Supplement came with today's paper,
    but was labeled, "Friday's Supplement."

    It's all *very* confusing.

    Well of course you have to do this. I didn't want to give away the joke!

    My goodness, Steven, that's an amazing amount of time and effort by someone
    that professes to ignore me. Guess I must have really touched a nerve.
    Was is because of exposing some of your wilder claims? How wrong you were
    about Radio Shack? NTP vs. RIM? Cingular GSM migration? Some other wild
    claim? All of the above?
