Dont speak to me about cooperation, your collective group of elitists didnt discuss with all of Fidonet about that route file you were shoving down the throats of those whom didnt want the thing much less need it.. You do recall the grief Foxy got when she was hatching it in BACKBONE and how quickly she rectified it.. Dale Ross has hatched 14 distinct copies of that chart since you all began as a group of elitists z1b'ers "voting on the system configurations" of others. If you want to see a copy of all IRN charts, see the URL in the tag line, do a anonymous FTP on the standard port, /fidonet/z1b_ern. However what you think I embody is hilarious, dont blame me for your failure to recognize rhetoric... NOBOGUS and related materials are no more NAB information files than the IRNROUTE chart is a ZeeOneBee info file. To hatch either in the BACKBONE FDN is plain wrong.. and yes I have repeatedly said my hatching NOBOGUS.ZIP/SS once was wrong and I apologized, has Dale apologized for his 14 infractions? Look I dont care what your group votes on, you say the IRNROUTE is useful to you, fine so what, my ROUTE.CFG is useful to me, but I aint cramming it down everyones throat and saying "look everyone, this is how I route and where and to whom".. or hatching 4NT.EXE and saying "look everyone, this is my command interpreter". You want your own distro system, fine you got one. You wanted your own route list, fine you got one. Now since you are into having your own things, get your own FDN and I will shutup and so will everyone else. == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 --- GoldED/W32 3.0.1 * Origin: The Eastern Star [Mail Hub] - 864.573.7069 (1:18/500) .
