Thank you for your feedback but to be clear (not directed to any one person), I
am keeping this positive.  While I have my own very personal opinions that I
will keep to myself, I am trying to enjoy this for what it is....A HOBBY. While
I did not write InterMail, I cannot take any credit there as InterMail was a
result of JoHo and Peter.  While I own it and have now brought it back to life
(ie working again) and the new InterMail 3.0 is in the works (slow), I do this
for FUN, I spend the money for my HOBBY. I simply will just hit the NEXT key
for any messages that will attempt to bait me into any type of nonsense.  Yes I
am no fun but like you and others, I would like to help and keep this HOBBY
alive and going.  I love to code and most of what I have coded in the past was
in the commerical world many years ago.  Did a number of projects back in the
90's for Fidonet/BBS before I departed in 2004.  I just recently picked up the
compiler again and started working on all my old projects that I did not get
finished.

The folks that step up to provide the mail feeds to the rest of us, thank you.
For those that try to jump in and help, Thank you.  For those that do take on
the roles in FidoNet (or other networks), Thank you. For those that want to
engage in the non-sense, thats fine and well within your right. I have the
power of the NEXT key and of course the DEL key.

Anyone wants to take issue with the above, sorry, life is way to short, I have
lost many friends over the years and this HOBBY will remain that, a HOBBY.

We do need to have those that are willing to share and help. There are many
here that do that.  I will simply choose to try and stay out of the battles
that are a waste of energy (IMO). If there is a topic I feel strongly about,
sure I will step up.

Thank you
