Most of those appeared to be from TML too.

He's supposedly upgraded all 4 PCs with very large drives.

No, I tested out his V.34 Maestros once, but that's all.  Big problems with
his boards too, as subscribers now have to pay on a sliding scale,
according to what level of access they require - CD-ROMs etc.  Even Brisbug
members have to pay something like $80 per annum just to use the board, and
needless to say, heaps of people have told the management to stick the club
up their arses.

He has.  We actually discussed this last year (I met him whilst working at
CHH, and he's definitely a bit weird).

Nothing appears to have gone astray, but I have had a HELL of a lot of
undetected dupes turning up.  Should sort itself out soon, I expect.

Regards, Bill
