no some little kiddies just like to power play
though this only concern dingobooboo groups, it seems a number of ppl took
a dislikeing to it over past several weeks :)

most the times anyway :)

yes Hitler is alive and well, but we all knew optus acts like the gaztapo
re that earlier matter.

I think its a good idea, so time to have dingoboobooers shafted :)
if they want to be in there own right they should obtain there server, and
not give this it will take 6 months, it isnt cost, nor is it time, i have
built an isp new server in a day and most that time was waiting for the
hardware i needed :) once i had it a couple hours to build the box and
install the OS and server and up and running, i really cant understand how
it can take them 6 months :)

optus engineering has never known whats it doing itself.
they certainly have no idea about these groups as that moron chris's post
showed, and earlir posts by engineering saying there wasa no moderator
when those of us in early days of mpx know full damn well thats bullshit, 
as backed up by Karen Granschow <sp??> who had to announce a second time
just for engineerings sake that Ron Dale was appointed the moderator (her
words) of mpx.* and optusnet.*

This combined with other laughable maters from engineering is why I take
no notice of any of them with the exception of M.O and M.N
(the only two i know that actually know what they are talking about)
