Hi Angus,

     About "Kermit preconceptions" of July 24:

     On July 23 you were "just curious" and asked if anyone out there is
an old kermit user.  The next day, you wrote that i was in a "crusade to
resurrect the Kermit protocol" because my justifications weren't reasons
enough for you!!!  After i pointed you to archives and dates you replied
that you didn't care;  then, you shared your expertise stating that this
protocol has been obsolete for over a decade...  Finally, the conclusion
was formulated as if i needed everyone to convert back to DOS BBSing!...

     Well, i don't suppose you cared to read `misc.20021006-20030409' at
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/newsgroups/ neither because if you did,
euh...  i wouldn't have to serve you this quote of the author right now:

     `MS-Kermit v3.16 BETA 12 NASA' exists, i use it myself but i didn't
know its history before i came across that information yesterday...  The
question i return to you is this:  what background makes you so special;
special enough to judge motives, or what protocols are worth for?!  %-b,

     Mouha!  Ha!  Ha!  I won't be surprised should you declare from your
pedestal that the Challenger accident was actually caused by `Kermit'!!!

     Oh!  Oh!  Oh!  Of course, you may argue the NASA hires morons only!
