Message-ID: <4323@cuphub.cup.edu> Date: 19 Feb 90 03:24:07 GMT Organization: California University of Pennsylvania, California, PA Lines: 60 Would it be too much to ask to PLEASE change the SUBJECT HEADER on messages in the "ATARI ELITE ST Org. of Pittsburgh" thread!?!?! The constant posting of "xxx yyy zzz piracy..." under the SUBJECT HEADER mentioned above is likely to give quite a few people THE WRONG IDEA! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I know of no ST usergroup who desires to be associated with piracy-- THE ATARI ELITE of Pittsburgh is *NO EXCEPTION* Might I suggest a NEW SUBJECT THREAD like "PIRACY...ZZZ YYY XXX..." or something of the sort? P.S; To all who'll be attending the T.A.F. show on April 1 in Mississagua, Ontario-- Be looking for Blue-And-White-clad Americans with the urge to help Canada's economy--(There should be 30 or so of us... :-) ) Again, let me reitterate-- PLEASE DISASSOCIATE THE ABOVEMENTIONED USERGROUP WITH PIRACY---IF ANYTHING WILL KILL A USERGROUP, IT IS SPORATIC,SPOTTY,UN-FACTUAL ACCUSATIONS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN INVESTIGATED!!! To those who hurled the "Atari Elite = PIRACY" stones: Please take the time from now on to find out just who owns the glass you will be attempting to break..... ( and also if it is justified [without FACTS] ) RE: The comment made by Mickey Boyd at (FSU?) about an "ELITE" level existing on most BBS's.....Thanks for clearing this up for me----I was having trouble figuring out how to summarize it 8-) As Mr.Boyd said, ELITE on *** SOME *** boards refers to a secret level that only a fistfull of pirates have access too... BUT ONE MUST REALIZE THAT ON *** MOST *** BOARDS, THIS LEVEL IS RESERVED FOR THE SysOp and/or CoSysOp's PRIVATE USE such as possibly Beta-Testing a new software modification of some sort. Ps#2; To those I may have offended with an earlier "NASTY-WORD(s)" post, I have CANCELled it as of 4 days ago.....I realized that losing my temper was NOT the most effective way to remedy the situation. So, to those whom I have offended--I apologize. To those I have ANGERED-- grow up. -- +---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------+ | Dan Karbowsky kar7481@pitt!cuphub| S U P P O R T T H E S T ! ! ! | | 102 Lee Drive __________________/ Call the ATARI ELITE of PITTSBURGH'S | | Belle Vernon, PA / BBS (Forem-ST,fnet node 19) at (412) 384-5609 at 300 | | 15012 U.S.A. / thru 19.2k baud 24 hrs./day 7-days/week!! | | / **** WE NOW SUPPORT USRobotics 38.4k/ARQ PROTOCOL !!!! ***| | (412)929-4023 /---Also--Now the NEW H.Q. of the Atari-Users-Association--- | | / For more info, send email TITLED "AUA-INFO-REQUEST" | +--------------+--------------------------------------------------------------+
