I wasn't going to forward this since it makes people want to reply to it, but
what the hell, it's a "goodbye" message. And it's someone that's actually
defending me, and these are so rare, I may as well let these get posted.

Rememeber, don't bother posting a reply since I probably won't forward it
to the list. Only goodbyes and advertisements for new lists.

Somehow, I can't agree on much of what Joe's saying. Am I the only one or
do I just see Joe goin' off the handle kinda unreasonably? I mean... this
IS Rat's machine...it's not as though this is IT--NO WAY you can live
without this service or somethin'. If tomorrow you should lose ALL the TV
station in your local area, you're NOT exactly going to complain since
there's cable TV, satalite, etc... um.. way I see it, just because Rat
feels like dropping this list doesn't mean you can't go IRC, start your OWN
list, go to the newsgroup, etc..etc. Complaining about Rat doin' this is
like complaining about the rights you have to have privileges. It don't
make sense to me.

If your message stopped the list prematurely, you certainly wouldn't be any
better than the kinda person you're complaining about to begin with. I
don't see it your way--sorry. :P


THANK RATMAN, for the list... and in some ways, thanks for tearing it down. :P
heh
