Hello Janis!

I will bet my life that I am right and your skepticism is wrong..
I have trapgate up (not operationally) and its exactly like ARGUS..
Additionally in the trapgate.pdf he credita MAX MASYUTIN, the original ARGUS
author, now in charge of RITLABS.
Radius and Taurus were MOST CERTAINLY derived from the ARGUS source code!!! The
principle author of Radius started Taurus when he had a disagreement with the
others he had been collaborating with.
The pisser of it for me was argus was not alwats free, I paid the reg fee, then
Max released it as free not too long after.

Actually all he has done so far is rebrand the mailer, and the promises that
the GUI will be changed later..
I need not remind you of the number of dead echoes we are boning.
