Nancy is NOT now nor has she EVER been a sysop. Nancy is a user and a supporter of bbs's. Nancy believes 110% in "our cause" and she is more than willing to put her beliefs in practice by writing articles such as the one for Hal-PC. Nancy is also a human being and she did get her feelings hurt by your unasked for remarks, but many of her friends in COSUARD and people from the echoes have had an opportunity to say whatever they felt needed to be said. The article has been written and published. Nancy has been thanked and critized. You have had your say, she has had opportunites to explain that she is not a professional writer, but she does not have to hang her head for anything that she said in that article. In the opinion of many, it is more than time for this entire discussion to end. The officers of COSUARD get together from time to time and we try to plan how to proceed with unity. It is not uncommom for us to ask each other for an opinion as NONE of us would DREAM of doing anything to hurt this effort. Strange as it may seem, we take the time to pat one another on the back and offer our thanks for the efforts of Glynne, Steve, Paul and Reginald. In our hearts we all believe that SWB started this and it is up to all of us to see it to it's conclusion. Unlike Kridner and cronies, you wont see any of us ask for clarification of our position before answering simple questions. You're been to the meeting and seen that we TRY and listen to any and all comments, complaints, suggestions etc. We ask you for your help, Dan, and your interest in the ongoing proceedings. We expect all who read this echo to understand that certains questions can not be dealt with and we would all LIKE to see discussion limited to the telephone rate issues and related topics. I guarantee you that Nancy wont cry herself to sleep if she doesnt win any new writer awards for her article, but what possible purpose can it serve to continue with THIS debate? As you wish, I can see if she will autograph YOUR copy or you can burn it and dance around the embers during the light of the full moon but enough, please, it's clearly enough! <> * RNet 1.02: COSUARD Net:COSUARD BBS-Houston, Tx-713-487-3911
