	NO!, what I wanted, and asked for is a version of Waffline that 
worked with Waffle v1.65 for when I picked up Waffline v1.0 it did not
seem to work.

	BEEP!  Sorry, but you are WRONG.  The ISSUE is that I requested
a QWK message processor for Waffle and tons of people kept pushing Waffle,
the fact is that I USE Waffle but NOT all my users can.  All of them CAN
use QWK formats.

BUT it ISNT the only solution, and if it was, then simply saying, can't be
done, or rather, hasn't been done would have been okay, but insulting me
for NOT wanting to push Waffle on my users is NOT exceptable.  And that is
what many of you have done.

	Ooh, thanks for the philiosophy lecture...NOT!
