Hello Roy!

10 Dec 02 16:30, you wrote to me:

So you are saying I made you log in with an assumed name?

Gee Roy, if I had that type of control over ya, I would have made you hop
into you Camaro and drive west to China, long ago. ;-)

Your wrongdoing occurred with the assumed name you used to logon with,
further complicated by the fact that you are a Fidonet Sysop, your usage of
the misconfigured echo only added to the mess.

I can take solace in the fact that you helped me identify an omitted
configuration setting, I have apologized for that as well as corrected it,
but I do not owe an apology for your deceptive log on.

I cannot take the blame for you firing up a telnet client and operating it
from your computer and keyboard.. Thats you sir.

Had you not been a Fidonet sysop, and in your case with the history of
stuff disturbing that you have, I would not have made it into a issue. You
should know better.. You are in a social network, dont mean you have to
agree with everyone and they you, but nevertheless you knew better and so
did I for not having double checked my groups file, that for nearly 5
months sufficed.

You belong to a Camaro Car club dont you, what do you do when a fellow club
member disagrees with you, do you pour sugar into their gas tanks, take a
key to their paint jobs, are you telling me that you are really such a
social misfit to make up for you lack of heigth? I sure as hell hope you
dont think your solutions are proper, they arent.

It sure looks to me that you are blaming me for your deceptive actions,
thats like a bank robber blaming the bank for him robbing it.
