If your version of Waffle won't let you configure your site properly,
get a real version of Waffle.

Because he figured that you wouldn't bother to act on your own behalf
and fix your own problems with the software you already have, and he has
somewhat more interest in following the procedures that the rest of the
does?

Ok, maybe if you were running a real copy of Waffle and not the
"modified" version you were given it would be more functional?

>Since now HELLDIVER works properly, 

If your Waffle configuration was correct, Helldiver would be able to
read the same static file your Waffle did. Helldiver is not and was not
at fault here.

>>Relying on the loose interpretation of the standards by other sites is
>>not the correct solution to a misconfiguration problem. 

>Loosen your belt a notch or two, you are taking this way too seriously

I understand. You have a toy, and you don't give a damn whether your toy
works properly with everyone else's systems as long as your postings get
out. You couldn't care less that people you annoy in mail can't reply to
your annoyance. 

I only hope that you tire of your toy soon and put it away so the rest
of us don't have to put up with it. There are people who are happy when
nets are interoperable, and take an active interest in seeing that
continue. Stop sabotaging them.
