Good ${greeting_time}, mark!

Really? It looks like a real reason of your stupidity, which you show up for
many years...

Obviously, they do: this line contains trivial errors.

Mark, you are FTSC member, but the only productive contribution from you in
recent years was grammar corrections. When you tried to write something on
technical matters, the whole discussion process stopped, because other FTSC
members (at least me) have to spend a hour or two laughing at your stupidity.
And all other messages from you were just off-topic.

What have you done for the Fidonet, say, in this year? Have you contributed
source code to the publicly available software? Or, being the NC, attracted
several new members to your net?

Nothing? What are you doing in FTSC then?
