 PE> Says who? What evidence do you have to support the claim?

  the message headers. Read them for yourself.

 BL> I've got a good mind to complain to the WankerNet Gods and get
 BL> you suspended for 6 weeks. Who's in charge around here anyway?

 PE> Nobody. The way fidonet was meant to be. Consenting systems
 PE> exchanging mail. 

  I dunno about consenting, but my system is pretty well rooted.

 BL> Alan Mouat is the only one who knows what he's doing. 

 PE> Maybe after tonight he knows. But he only half-knows, he hasn't
 PE> set up a proper UUCP system either. 

  Half-knows puts him 50% in front of the rest of us.

 BL> And where's AVT? All I'm getting is locsysop and locuser,
 BL> addressed to ALL.

 PE> Well, it looks like Jeff has turned off the AVT gating until
 PE> the dupe problem is sorted out.

  Dupes! I've never seen anything like it. It's a fruit loop!

  BTW, this is another reason why the person acting as the hub ought
to do the gating. If we were all calling Jeff, this would not happen.

 PE> When you say "addressed to
 PE> all", what you really mean is "no specific address",
right? The
 PE> word "All" shouldn't appear in the messages you get from me. 

  Naturally... no address can't mean "no one" because I'm getting it,
so it much mean "all". That's elementary logic, my dear Watcom.

 PE> Everyone who starts an internet system always has their
 PE> messages addressed to "All" in the initial stages, whilst they
 PE> get their act together. 

  I guess what I'm asking you is to get your act together.

Bob
