Yes i am sure you have, and i have replied to that answer, have you recieved 
that reply?, at anyrate i am notorious for going over old ground in echo's with 
a veiw to catching up, i am sorry if that inconveniences you, but please dont 
twit me, or do, it is your choice, and your risk if i come up with something of 
interest and you miss it, not to mention hardly worth the effort if you 
consider my output in either of the Windows Echo's this year.

Yes?.

I Quite agree, but who are you accusing of "poor behavior"?, Me, Wayne 
Chirnside, or Ross Cassell?, i dont think any of us are poorly behaved, at 
least not in this case, not that it makes any difference to me as i think they 
have both twitted me.

I can not get that echo, luckily i have not got any axe's to grind with any 
moderators or sysops at all.

As would i, which is why i think the thread that this message is situated in is 
dead as far as i am concerned and i will be returning to on topic messaging, or 
as much as i can with my technical knowledge of Windows, which is practically 
nil.

"appear not to be overly hostile"?, how about the Asian Chat Echo?.

I am useing Common Ground BBS's onboard editing facility's, if you do not like 
the result then i would recomend you get on the endof a list of at least 2 
other people i personally know of.
