First off you must understand how FidoNet operates and you must not.  Each
echo has its rules that everyone posting in there must follow.  Also the
moderator owns the echo.  Tom's QUESTION was jus that a QUESTION and not an
ad.  As for me being a tyrant in the echo, thanks, that must mean that I am
doing a good job of keeping the messages on topic.
As for my name that is my name and in this part of North Carolina the last
name Queen is common place.
Then you crossed the line with your last portion of your OFF-TOPIC message.
I have requested that your sysop give you a 1 week vacation during which
time I suggest you read the following rules and if you don't agree to them
then you don't have to post in this echo.  And please do not respond in
this echo as the rules plainly state that will be OFF-TOPIC!  You must
respond either to my e-mail address or my NetMail address.  Now the rules
                         CLASSIFIEDS ECHO RULES
