I admit it: I did not feel it was worthwhile to archive for all posterity
the post where you told someone: "Don't bother complaining to tech
support [about the news server].  They'll just blame the problem on you."
If I knew you'd deny having said it to your dying day, I would have
clipped and saved it.

And I *did* admit there were problems on the newsgroups ... I just didn't
think you should be lying about what tech support says.  You seem to
think that made me a cheerleader; I see that as having ethical standards.

And once or twice I *did* get on peoples' cases for moaning about
utterly trivial issues.  Which is fine, because I was also willing to
back people when there WERE problems I felt were significant.  And it's
my right to voice my opinions ... though it was never your right to lie
about the staff, however.

You complained, point blank, when mikem said he wasn't a psychic because
he couldn't tell you exactly when the system would be up.  I didn't
bother to clip and save that post either, but we both know it's true.
In any event, you even found yourself complaining when tech support
gave you the least bullshitty of answers: "We don't know".  And still
you found that sort of evasiveness to be a problem.
