Hi Rob,

     About "SBBS/W32 Kermit setup" of October 11:

MS> ...this is a one-time post...  A long time ago, the author of
MS> `SynchroNet' made me post a `Kermit' configuration-file only to
MS> reject it...  As a result, it's the 2nd time this year i hear of
MS> some BBS where the SysOp failed to obtain suitable `Kermit'...  
MS> ...Wayne Warthen's `Kermit for Windows'...  ...abort pronto and
MS> users have their session hanged...  My name has been associated
MS} with it, my post isn't about persons but it's called SABOTAGE and
MS> whatever i do i like to do it with pride...          ^^^^^^^^
RS> I didn't "make" you do anything.  Heck, I didn't even *ask* you...

     I can't but notice that you failed to pay attention to the warnings
i took care to express in my previous message, i certainly didn't intend
to MAKE you post a reply - and much less ASK for one - but yet, here you
are!  Hearing of you again (and over `Kermit') feels, say, unattended...

     Well, given the level of your "contribution", euh...  i shall point
out you shouldn't feel invited!  :>  Too bad you missed my passage about
"demolition artists" since it DOES seem to suit particularily well here:

RS> If you have a suggested change to the default kermit.ini included
RS> with Synchronet (and *not* a completely new, totally different .ini
RS> file), then I'm all ears.

     Let me remind you it was made the "default" setup before i was done
with *PRELIMINARIES* (my job), not to mention you created it in a matter
of hours!!!  I know more than a year passed since July 2003 so i suggest
you re-read the whole thread, starting from my very 1st post of July 20:
you'd find that i was trying to cope with problems you failed to foresee
yourself, as an author and SysOp.  If that hurts your own pride, collect
feedback from those who had to deal with *YOUR* chirurgical cuts and try
whatever you wish when ready...  %-b,  Don't forget to remove any `SBBS'
~WEB~ content refering to me (some extra "fluff" i can live without)!...

     I'm afraid trying to achieve something (as a USER!) is unproductive
when `OverNet' college boys make you go through a rite of initiation so,
i'm ASKING you, don't "challenge" me to repair YOUR "masterpiece" again.

RS> ... The tongue is the fastest healing part of the human body.

     Sure, and memory is one to forget;  that's why i keep records which
remind me what it's like to cooperate with loggerheads.  If only i could
remember where our private correspondance is!  :>  Bofff...  No regrets.

                                                           Salutations,

                                                           Michel Samson
