Dear Jason

I would phrase it differently. I would have liked support from Sysop's for this hobby. 
It would have simplified things and put the quality of the forum on another level. 

And yes, I made the mistake of thinking about a backup too late. 
My fault, no ifs or buts!

In the contruction phase it happens, that you do the whole day things, and forget
the important backup.

And why I think that everything was actually written by both of us is because of 
your aggressive writing, which in my opinion is no longer effective!

The discussion is one thing. Accusations, pointing fingers at others who actually want 
to do something good for the cause, in my eyes, is the other.

All because I friently asked for support for this project. 
I have presented my reasons, I hope objectively, and I've got reasons why 
there will be no support from the reading Sysop's. I accepted that too!

I'm always open for a factual, constructive discussion about the topic BBS'ing!
Or sense or nonsense of a forum to this topic. 
But your accusations have taken on a quality that makes further discussion extremely difficult. And so I think everything has been said/written. It's better...

Have a nice day Jason

Mike
