REQUEST OF bimzalazim to remove the block placed by ZimZalaBim on his Computer IP 65.88.88.155 on 8 November, 2006

ZimZalaBim blocked the said computer right after bimzalazim edited the Wikipedia listing on INTERNET-Adservers to indicate that Zedo is a deadly adware that does not serve the ads in the way adservers do which they place the ads on the webpages with the permission of their publishers and drive their revenues from the clicks made by the vistors to the wepages. The publishers of the webpages get paid for the clicks made on the ads. On the other hand Zedo unleashes the ads on the webpages through persistant popups on the computers and not on the webpages and its targets are the owners of the computers and zedo expects to make revenues through clicks made on Pop up ads by the owners of the computers. Zedo instals its popup delivery software on the computer without the permission of the owners of the computers.

I have provided the proof that Zedo is a software by the way of search engine listings under the keywords "zedo", "Powered By Zedo", "Zedo - Adware", "Adware Zedo". "Remove- Zedo". I've provided only 19 listings. But there are hundreds upon upon hundreds of thousands of pages of search Engine Listings.

Zedo is shamelessly braging about its wijipedia relationship by having hundreds of thousands of listings of the type listing number 19 below. "Wikipedia-Zedo", "Zedo-Wikipedia" . Wikipedia is promoting itself as a free encyclopedia. But ZimZalaBim is shamelessly promoting the business of Zedo by blocking independent editors like me who want Wikipedia to become a source of knowledge and facts that people will look up to.

Please look at the evidence I have provided to show that ZimZalaBim has maliciously blocked my computer IP Address 65.88.88.155 and I beg you to remove the block immediately. There is no reason for the block on the computer fakir005 also placed by ZimZalaBim and it is a shame to call every editor a sockpuppet of fakir005 or of bimzalazim if they edit Wikipedia to reflect that Zedo is not an Adserver but an Adware.

Thank You very much and May God reward you for removing the dastardly act by Wikipedia Adminstrator who obviously is a  a Sockpuppet of ZEDO.
