BL> Paul's qwk2pkt has started a rush of people learning programming
BL> so they can fix it. It's the ideal beginner's program. No matter
BL> how bad you are, you always do a better job of it than Paul.

PE> Except that I didn't write it, I just debugged it, and tell everyone
PE> they shouldn't be using it, they should be using Binkley/Squish/Msged.

RS> Pity not everyone is into your mindless fascism Paul boy.

So?  You are free to use alternative software.  Just don't go looking for
me when you find it's a heap of shit.

PE> It's funny how people use the exact program I tell them not to use,

RS> Liar, you DEMANDED it be used in fact.

LIAR.  I have ALWAYS pushed proper point software.  If you didn't notice
that then, or now, you are a complete dickhead.  Although that is fairly
well established already.

PE> and then complain about it.

RS> Yes, its a piece of shit. You were TOLD that it was a piece of
RS> shit when you demanded it be used. What you proclaim is the one

Pity I did no such thing.  I did demand you become a point though, since I
was shutting down the BBS side.

RS> true path to salvation for us all is ALSO a piece of shit as well,
RS> only the detail of just what makes it a piece of shit differs.

Whatever, Rod.  I've been using MSGED etc for years, and the support for
that is second to none.  If you want to use a minimally-supported product,
that's your business.  It's my business that you send me technically
correct messages.

PE> Even if you are a dickhead than wants to convert PKTs to QWK,
PE> there is a better program for doing this, mkqwk or something.

RS> Yeah, well, thats what you said about PQWK too, so you will have to
RS> pardon us if no one takes much notice on your proclamation on that now.

Pathetic liar.

RS> Its not at all obvious that you would even recognise decent
RS> robust software if it actually bit you on the bum Paul boy.

Whatever, Rod.  So long as you send me technically correct packets, I
couldn't give a rats arse.

PE> Yes, there's some stuffing around to set it up, and no, I don't support
PE> it at all, and no, there's no source code, but at least the person
PE> providing it doesn't tell you "whatever you do, don't run this
software".

RS> Pity you never said anything remotely like
RS> that, and in fact DEMANDED it be used Paul boy.

Pathetic LIAR.

RS> We have ALSO just seen another example of your problem with software
RS> with that problem with a dud poll packet. It was perfectly fucking
RS> obvious that that sort of thing was going to happen with your hare
RS> brained scheme to use Telix as a point mailer.

It has been used successfully for 2 years.  You don't know what you're on
about.  The main problems we are seeing is that the product is no longer
supported, and some old bugs have never been fixed, so people reinstalling
it have to refix all the problems.  BFN.  Paul.
