Your own words prove me correct. The problem has been brought 
to your attention repeatedly yet you are intransigent. Others 
obviously place more importance on this than you (sound 
familiar?)

 RS> Commercial interest? Synchronet is free, *and* open source, dumb ass.

I apologized in a message to Rob Couture, and I appologize 
again, I was mistaken and I retract that reference. My 
confusion stems from the way I have observed you and Rob 
Couture flogging synchronet from echo to echo like a bad 
info-mercial, I assumed you were promoting a commercial 
product.

 RS> Yeah, you'll find it here:

If you are releasing softwear under the GPL then I truely 
wish you well with your endevour, however I do not see 
mention of GNU or of the GPL on your website. Perhaps the 
reference was obscured by the microsoft logo?


Your use of language in this echo seems to be deteriorating. 
As a member of the FTSC you set an example, and ultimatly 
make the job of the moderator more difficult with this 
behaviour, should he care to correct others in future.


It could be worse ...
