Teasing is part of any hobby.  Friends tease each other.  Folks tease Al
for his software.  We teased Matt for changing bbs Softeware more than he
changed socks.  We tease David in fn_sysop for sex with sheep.  Just part
of life.  Its how you react.  David always knew it was a joke and even
played along.
I only teased you in changing software.  To me loyalty is big.  Not saying
you don't have it.  But folks get that way.  Locally there was a guy/sysop
who would call my bbs every 2 weeks like clockwork and download over 100
files.
the SAME files.  Why?  Cause like clockwork he'd have a HD crash and
reformat.  A perfect teasing oppurtunity :)

Its still fun for me.  But fun is the posting.  When that declines its less fun.

SD> Yes, I'm eating crow, but it's best to do so when it's warm.

That's big of ya.  Trust me I would know some who would never do that.
