Hello Michiel.

26 Feb 33 09:54, you wrote to me:

 MvdV> Justifiably so.

Not really. It's just a front to show his ineptness.

No doubt. You suck up to anyone who would give you permission to connect.

 MvdV> f0.n203.z2.fidonet.net Does.

No it doesn't. It doesn't even return a ping.

 RW>> So what we have here is a system that isn't open to Fidonet mailers.

 MvdV> No, it is just not open to YOU!

No biggy. I wouldn't want to be affliliated with anyone who advertises
copyrighted material on his website. Who knows, maybe he'd drop some of
that on my system and call the copyright police.

 MvdV> How does that bit of your own medicine taste he?

I couldn't care less that he may have passworded my system out. That's
his perogative. It may show that he has something to hide. Unlike you, who
insisted that passwording someone out is illegal, I'm not going to worry
about what another of your petty cohorts do.

Being able to connect and passing netmail wasn't my intention here. It was
merely to prove that what Felten has listed in the nodelist doesn't work.
And that's been proven. That I had to substitute his dyndns lookup
address for the non-working f2.n203.z2.fidonet.net address, speaks volumes
to prove it.

BTW, fine discussion we're having about non-fidonews articles ... It
wasn't too long ago that you refused to talk about such things here. So
much for your word.
