I tend to have a relaxed view when it comes to supporting software. I mean its
all for the "hobby" and I remember getting emails and Netmails from people 
who have the mentality that its more than a hobby - for them its the 
be-all-end-all of existance. Someone who flames me because I messed up some 
function has definately missed the point behind BBS'ing and Fido and all that.

Like I said before elsewhere - anyone who gets emotional or personally angry
over things that transpire in this hobby needs to find another hobby to
devote their free time to. Alas the events of Z1-vs-Z2, etc etc as an example.
Meanwhile in other nets like Scinet and yours, there are people there who 
truly enjoy the hobby and get personal satisfaction out of being a part of it.

Its been quite awhile now since I've gotten those messages but when I did it
was when I was programming BinkD support. I was flamed for "not doing things
the way Internet Rex does it" or "breaking standards", blah
blah blah. None of
which was ever proven or substantiated. Those didn't come from Ward but from 
people who were using -other- mailers like Frontdoor and Binkleyterm.
