You seem to be the only person whining about it at the moment, so I'll direct 
every and all issues in the future on this matter to you. Mmkay?

I'm not assuming anything here, Mark. I told you I don't care how it displays 
on other systems, or how others choose to display them. I feel like I've said 
this to you more than once now, yet you haven't gotten the point yet.

Three pieces of software I've never cared to use, because they never 
interested me whatsoever. Pretty sure Golded+ falls under the "JAM related 
software" you speak of, but I have yet to find or use any
"followup" option.

I really don't care to know any FTN software except the software I'm 
currently using. I'm sorry you've wasted most of your life nitpicking every 
little detail that noone else cares about. While you sit there patting 
yourself on the back for those accomplishments, most of the rest of the world 
is busy with real life.

Now that you're just picking out strawmen to whine about, this is getting 
pretty boring.

Did I say I cared? I don't. Fidonet is and will continue to bury itself. It's 
only a matter of time.

Yep.

I didn't object. After all this redundant crying from your end, you may have 
to go back and read my original message. For the 20th time, I simply offered 
another place to release infopacks that wouldn't force people to change what 
they currently have in use for their file_id.diz. Why does this keep flying 
over your head?

Your problem. Not mine. Obviously not a problem to others either, since there 
were two releases on the filegate in the last few days bearing the same 
contents you're currently complaining about.

It's definitely not important enough to have to involve "the other
half" in 
anything related to Fidonet or my computers and/or VMs. Mail is held on all 
systems until one system makes it back up. That's how it has always been, and 
just as well, doesn't only happen on one side of the connection, either. Just 
about every day my system tries multiple times to connect to a downed system. 
If they're back up within a couple days, there's no need for me to get 
involved. Sometimes things just happen, and I'd rather not be annoying by 
pestering my links on a daily basis.

Regards,
Nick
