[Lots of irrelevant finger output deleted.]

I still fail to see just what connection there is between what fingering
my system returns and some ridiculous claims about mail being reliable.
Would one of the multitudes who participated in the stampede created by
Collier-Brown please explain what connection there is between the two?
I really want to know. Or is it just that Dave couldn't defend his
nonsensical claims about mail reliability so he started whining about
finger?

Wrong. Guess again.

The reason is simple: I turned it off because I figured it would annoy
the mindless sheep who would rush to try it based on Dave's irrelevant
complaint. I am glad to see that it did.

>whoever's being paranoid

Be careful. You haven't the slightest idea why my finger daemon behaves
the way it does, and I doubt that you have a degree in psychiatry or
psychology to back up your diagnosis.

I really don't care whether a@b@c works or not. I really don't care
whether you or DC-B appreciates my plan or not. If you believe anything
that fingering skyking tells you, whether you come in through jacobs or
not, then you are a fool.
