Folks,<br><br>

Personally I think Rado is trying to address some important issues, some that may have existed for a very long time and has held netrek development back since the change of the old guard to the new through over 12 years of evolution. For example, when I returned after a hiatus with purpose of developering cool things and going in some new direction, I found surprise at unusual resistance and rejection of my efforts from administrators, and an inner clique which left me out in the cold. This was rather frustrating to me, since I operated on the assumption that my work would and should be adopted quickly. I am not certain Rado is addressing these same issues, but as far as I can tell it seems to be along these lines.<br><br>-bd<br>

And I am going against my better judgement against feeding<br>

For the past few months you have eaten my bandwidth and cost me<br>
time (and in my business, time is money) wading through your<br>
posts in the hope that there might be some hidden nugget<br>
of value buried within.<br>
<br>
Time after time I have been disappointed to find that my<br>
initial hunches were right and it's just more wasted<br>
bandwidth.<br>
<br>
I am now joining James in procmail'ing your posts to<br>
a black hole for a month.<br>
<br>
You just don't take the hints. You don't listen and/or<br>
learn. You are doing nothing but wasting my time, yet<br>
again.<br>
<br>
Please, save the bandwidth and the time for everyone else<br>
on this list by not replying to this message.<br>
<br>
See you in a month.<br>
<br>
