Great.

So?

No doubt.

Is he missed?

I guess that's better than a flame thrower contest.

I'll be darned. I just telnetted to Dale's system, looked into POL_INC and
lo and behold, a message dated October 4, 2002 from Wayne Churnside to
Mimi Gallant (sp) was posted in the echo.

Obviously, Stan is full of it, as POL_INC and Wayne Chirnside are still
there on Dale's system.

That's up to Braswell, isn't it.

I think you're barking up the wrong tree.  It's best to have all of the
facts before you when you make these rediculous claims.  That way, you
won't have to chew as much shoe leather.

 MG> Anyone else feel that this is not good or fair?

Perhaps you need to get your information from the source, rather than hear
say or Ross Cassell.

 MG> IMHO, we should all post our displeasure at this action.

I am. My displeasure is that you've falsly accused Dale Ross of
improprieties that he's not guilty of.  Much like the claims that Vlist
makes about he being the HAM echo moderator.

Sounds good to me. Here's hoping Wayne is successful next time.
