Ärende: Taking sides

Hi Michiel,

Lol - now I'm laughing, that's for sure... If it was a joke, I'm still waiting
for the punchline.

Bait rejected.

Why would I?  I've already said what I had to say about "European" and "US"
comments.  So.. bait rejected.

Now I understand your problem.... you really just want Roy out of the nodelist
altogether.. you figure if Roy wasn't being "protected" by me (whatever the
kind of protection that might be is beyond me, btw), by now Matt Bedynek would
have removed him from the nodelist for being annoying in an echo.  I think NOT.
He wouldn't do that.

That is none of my business.

Man, you do hold grudges.. why don't you just let all this crap go?  You'll
probably live longer.

If it's legal, then what is your big worry in the names they may call you?  I
have no idea if making a copy of anything produced over there is legal or not..
and I really don't care.

> Don't insult my intelLigence by pretending you are not taking sides.

I see.  Because I don't act like you and insult people and flame them, I'm
taking sides.  Because I don't try to moderate this echo, I'm taking sides as
well.  Guess what, if that's the case, too bad.  That's me.

Take care,
Janis
