DC> Gee... I submitted lots of routing info

One or two corrections. Preeceeded by threats and accompanied by
out-and-out demands. Just like Ruth Argust, who also made demands.

There were clearly several concepts evident in how some people,
including you, perceived the routelist ought to operate that had
never been implemented or which made absolutely no sense. One of
which was the attitude that all of ya'll somehow "owned" me. Not
unlike those poor slaves a few of my ancestors owned a couple of
hundred years ago.

Despite the demands from Souvestre, you, Balcolm, Argust, and the
R12 cheering squad and chorus, I chose not to implement some of
the silliest of them. I did consult with others beside you or
John before I made my final decision, but the final decision was
mine and a very strong element influencing the specific decision
regarding the proceedure to be followed when a hub is to be
removed from the matrix was, in fact, your DEMAND reiterating
Souvestre's insistence that I do what didn't make a whole lot of
sense.

DC> Given that type of 'listening' it is no wonder that people
DC> haven't bothered to send you new routing info.

Given ya'll's demands, is it any wonder that I declined to jump
to them?

As Thom LaCosta said recently:

  "Your logic that because it was one way in the past means it
  must be the same in the present makes as much sense as saying
  that because black folks were once considered less than a whole
  person in the enumeration that they shouldn't be counted as
  whole persons today, or that because the world was though to be
  flat, that no one can believe it's not."

Your fundamental logic flaw was that it *HAD* to be the way =YOU=
perceived it because that's the way it had been from the first.
For that to happen, you had to be the boss and I the minion or
slave who *HAD* to obey.

I am no one's minion, David.
