II do not flog Synchronet all over the echoes.  That is a misconception on
your part.  I will suggest it to knew sysops because I think it is a great
piece of software.  Many others do agree.

It doesn't mean you have to :)

You did not look very closly I am afraid:

http://www.synchro.net/source.html

Or:

http://www.synchro.net/copyright.html

Or:

http://www.synchro.net/docs/index.htm

And try as I might, I could not find a Microsoft Logo on his site.

It is inacurate statements and lack of fact checking that lead to this
debate in the first place.

The more I see the more I am convinced that Maurice has his facts wrong and
you just seem to be riding his tailcoat.

Neither have produced any evidence and Maurice is now talking about this
happening "many years ago."  And I know that "many years ago" SBBS did not
use any MSGID.  I that issue I do recall.  Not any issue regarding after
MSGID was implemented.  I will be willing to acept I am wrong if someone
would take the time to back up their statements.

Tell that to Maurice.  He is the one that started with the vulgarities.
