Well now, ain't it the way to go, did you really miss me?  I said that I had 
to find a NEW hookup, I was hoping that it would have been sooner, but then, 
since I'm used to have thing do the way I used to do them, I can see that it 
will never be as reliable as when I ran the show, I would send Netmail all 
over the place, telling them where and what is wrong, I send all of the 
systems their exess money back when I stepped down as REC, I gave plenty of 
notice and made sure where they could get the mail, no such thing with this 
last Idiot, he gave all of 10 day's notice, he still hasn't send me MY 
overpayment ($10.00) back, he quit FidoNet and it looks like I will have to 
use Small Claims Court to get my money back... I know it's only $10.00, but 
it's the principle of the thing and I aim to get my money back because he 
was such a prick to begin with... while I'm at it... the NEW REC system is 
hooked into 13/13 REC and that system is about as unreliable as any that I 
have seen so far, these people don't take their responsibilities as serious 
as I did... I used to sit there as long as 36 hours to get the mail, but I 
got it, and that is where it is at, they want to be the big cheese, but 
don't give a damn about doing their job, then they say, "It's only a hobby!" 
well, hobby or not, I say "Do it right, or don't do it at all!" and I don't 
care if it is supposed to be only a hobby.

Ahhh, does that mean you are still having problems... hmmm, since this is 
the 16'th of Aug. I wonder if you will get this missive before you go 
down... hope it is not too serious about the system and most of all, I hope 
it won't cost too much...

BD>     I've got somebody saving my mail for me, though, and

Good, it's about time someone will help us old fogey's

BD>     Take care of yourself, you Old Farth!

Ohh, I will Geezer, I will, I'll be damned if I let it get to me, after all, 
I'm having fun when I can be a miserable old bastard and make life somewhat 
miserable for the local populace...

Cheers from the "Old Farth"
