Hello FRANK.

Unlike you Frank, I as a sysop and mail mover have to carry your shity band
width, why don't you take a well deserved holiday, or just clear off to where
you belong which is in the memories echo. Contrary to your belief, without the
likes of myself and others you just would not have any echos to post in, why?
Because there would be no BBSs'and thus no FidoNet for you to use, so there is
a need for me, but as for you, well we could do with one user less, you will
doas that one.

Stewart
