In the case of the other network, however, he apparently gave the impression that he was a returning sysop who knew what he was doing and then apparently blamed the sysops of other network systems when he ran into problems. Maybe they over-reacted and he is all right, but he does seem to be a little standoffish with the folks trying to help him here, too. $$ --- þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTP .
