That message came ten month too late. Way after I found out for myself - the
hard way - that the web page is not what it suggests it is.

10 month too late...

I am not a lawyer. I am not accustomed to search for the fine print. Yes, you
are right, it is in the fine print. Fine print that you never get to see if you
just follow the links to the relevant information because than you don't get to
see that subpage.

I don't subscribe to that echo, if that is what it is. Why should I?

I HAVE figured it out. /After/ walking into your trap.

It failed because I acted on misleading information. And yes, I am blaming you
for that misleading aspect.

As I said, by itself it is no big deal. I can live with a failed attempt to
list an echo that I perceived as expired.

What I resent is that I am labelled as the bad guy over it. It was YOUR
information and it WAS misleading. That teaches me to never trust information
from you again and to stay away from the echolist software. It is booby
trapped. If you do not hunt for and read all the fine print you end up in a
costume of tar and feathers.

I have learnt my lesson.

Cheers, Michiel
