Nobody told me for weeks, if not months. Your newsfeed posted a note here claiming he *did* inform you. From Message-ID: <1991May15.142106.636@ibmpcug.co.uk> by dylan@ibmpcug.CO.UK (Matthew Farwell) [ As a bit of background, we are mantis's main feed and we are the site that dropped six of their articles ] I did tell you. I have a mail message sitting in my outgoing folder to you and 7 other news administrators who we exchange news with to the effect that cnews now drops articles which are badly formatted. Its dated April 30th 1991. Do you want me to resend it to you? If you are talking about noone telling you about cnews dropping some of your articles, then I also told you about that, within a few hours of me seeing the log message. I sent you back the log entries and told you to resend them. Unfortunately I haven't actually got a copy of that mail message but I distinctly remember sending it. I even have your reply to it somewhere. >There was no messenger. C News didn't tell me, remember? Yes, but I did. I warned you in advance. I told you when your articles had been dropped. He also pointed out that he didn't wish to pay the 500 pounds per year your solutions would cost. -- "SPAM is a registered trademark of a pork product packed only by Geo. A Hormel & Co.
