If you're going to insult me, at least have enough couth to spell my name
right, Mr. Douche.

If you want to accuse people of being "tag-collectors", you'd better point your
finger at Mark Lewis also.  Let's not forget Andrew Leary.

Do you think that your shiny new IC badge gives you the right to wander into
things that you previously didn't care about?  You always told me that the
EList was a "Zone 1 thing" and it "didn't matter to Fidonet internationally".

Or are you just trying to gain political favor?  Fidonet's always been about
the politics and power for you and now, with your competitors leaving or simply
dying off, are you trying to curry a new generation of sycophants to follow you
from echo to echo in Fidonet?

For that matter, before Ben passed away, he gave me a full backup of his Elist
source code written in PowerBASIC.  Are you going to whine and bitch at me now
about it?

For God's sake, Ward, go diddle with your beloved Boy Scouts and leave the rest
of us the hell alone,  You're like a venereal disease: just when you think it's
gone away, it flares right back up.
