Hello mark,

On Thursday May 21 2015 19:43, you wrote to me:

That is not exactly what Nicholas Bo‰l says. So... your version is that you did
not "let them" but that you were actively involved.

But don't you see that this enhances the "you brought it on yourselves"?

 MvdV>> The response to that was the evolution of a distribution system
 MvdV>> that would make it impossible for anyone to abuse their power
 MvdV>> in that way ever again.

 ml> yeah, right...

Yes. You (plural) brought it on yourselves. The NAB abused its power and steps
were taken to see that it could never happen again.

Then why do you continue to harp on it?

I don't have a problem with it.

The Fidoweb has been in operation for a couple of years now. There is no
indication thet it will come crashing down. That is just doom thinking on your
part.

 ml> i'm quite happy with my decisions and their effects on my system...

And so am I. So what are we argueing about?


Cheers, Michiel
