Hello Mr. Brown,

Today you have shown that I was correct again....thank you indeed Mr. Brown
a very useful intervention on your part.

As you have gone to the trouble of posting in here for which I thank you,
can I ask that you get the bully boys to adhere to the standards you require
as well as normal users. This flame war as someone stupidly described it
occurred after certain people who do not normally post in here were invited
in.....you will not need much intelligence (that's not personal) to realise
that the large majority of it was engineered...people like the person called
will denny was quite abusive...please do a search of this newsgroup and
determine yourself when the last time will denny MVP last posted in here. I
will leave you to come to your own conclusions as to why he has inflamed an
already bad situation AFTER Mr. John Eddy brought the situation to the close
that I had hoped for for the last 6 months.......You really do need to speak
to the people below you, and as they have abused me in public, I think the
least I should expect is a public apology...after all you did agree that I
was right in my assertion.

I will collate all of the abuse and send it to you. I would hope that you
will acknowledge receipt and take appropriate action against these people,
the people you gave an award to that is hardly merited by their recent
actions.

I do not suppose you care, you will notice that not once have I strayed from
my main augment...PAPAJOHN was posting messages capable of transmitting a
virus or a worm. And just because a large number of thrill seekers and
MVP's join forces does not mean that they are right. I am pleased to see
though that you backed up my claim, although I do not recall any form, your
message to me was a direct request you know....

This newsgroup is visited by a large number of people who are clinging on by
the skin of their teeth in an attempt to get help. Your MVP's have not
washed themselves in any kind of Glory this day.
