I agree that Lycos and Raging Bull constantly and incessantly run into operational problems. I've experienced them just as you have but this time it is quite a bit different.. Establishing an account with a different ISP and alias was ok for about 1 day then I found I could not post again. I did quite a bit of digging and found that Lycos had blocked the internet numerical address their network assigned to me. This address cannot be changed by a user so the blockage is permanent. I have also developed a theory that might explain these kinds of actions.
Lycos when it was independent found competing against MSN,Yahoo and ihub a hopeless task. They lost money every single quarter. Then the were acquired by Telephonica SA and that company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Telephonica. Telephonica is a huge Spanish group who have operations on the Isle of Man. These subsidiaries are mostly financially oriented and I suspect is the home of the Even group of NMKT bashers. You'll also note that the Raging Bull is managed separately and differently than other elements of the "Lycos" operation. Could this be because it was outsourced to the naked shorters and pump and dumpsters.?? Just my opinion!
