Our exchanges are public, saved here, it certainly "is" fact.

Upon your election to the FTSC you were told point blank that the FTSC does
not enforce standards, they only document new ones that become popular
enough. Like how BinkD became popular... the Russians just made it happen.

Finally when the lightbulb engaged and it became clear that things were not
going to pan out "your way" unless you actually wrote some code and stopped
bullshitting everyone, you took your ball and left.

Yes they did because of their connections to my system. One Sysop had
mentioned your involvement, one sent me a copy that had your email address on
it. Which I tried to email you but bounced. The two Sysops are very nice
but not tech-savvy enough to configure it properly. One had it misconfigured
which caused a loop between our systems.

When your little script was dropped like a hot potato, things worked perfectly
and it became clear how absolutely rediculous it was to have an out-of-office 
thing for Netmail. None of us are that important to have one.

Its all a very simple case of you selling ideas that just do not work, making
busybody work, making things more complicated than necessary. Solutions to
nonexistant problems. Selling a hub-system to be more than it really is.

But please keep 'em coming, I get a very entertaining reaction. Comedy gold!
