Hello August,

On Sunday January 16 2022 12:59, you wrote to me:

Or maybe it doesn't translate well into YOUR native language? Neither of us is a native English speaker, but I have lived and worked in an English speaking country.

Sean claimed that he had received a netmail from Janis. The burden of proof for that claim is on him.

Sorry, the history of Fidonet has many examples of faul play. That he managed to get a password for an e-list means nothing to me. E-lists are not recognised as authoritive in these matters in most parts of Fidonet anyway.


Cheers, Michiel
