Thanks Scott, I have nothing against you. It is not your fault
that your fault that you turned over the reigns of your games
to a blundering idiot.

Your admission of the possibility of me being right shows
me that you are at least intelligent enough to realize that.
Including all 3 leagues in my outrage on allowing this cheating
to go on and the way the LC's handle it has been brewing for
quite a long time now. The first league that I experienced
this was the one that Hoover runs and that has been quite
a while ago hasn't it? I have been a rebel against cheaters for
a long time now and nothing ever changes. The cheating
goes on and the LC reacts to the charges in the same fashion.
This most recent escapade was apparently the final amount
of pressure needed before the volcano erupted.

Yes Scott, I have as much experience as you do. The only
difference is that I have never taken much of an interest in
programming. My end has been hardware and software
configurations. If any programming troubleshooting needed
done, I always let my oldest son do that since that is what
he was interested in.

I have too many things to do. I barely have enough time to keep
the bbs current. I don't think that running my own league would
make much of a difference anyway. We have discussed in the
past how I would do it if it were up to me. You know I am
fairly radical and said the ways I suggested were too strict.
I didn't think so but I guess we will never know because I have
no desire to run a league and those that do, don't have the balls.

I do not wish to rehash the Michael Frater scenario. You and Mark
had said that you had thoroughly investigated that allegation and
could find no wrongdoing. I believed you and the way Michael
had no rebuttal on your findings led me to believe that perhaps
he did not have a valid claim.
Anyway, what was involved in that and what was involved in
the case that I had pointed out were totally different.

No, you can't prove anything by that type of conjecture.
