Well you're running out of them, thats for sure.

Bob, I've given you untold resources that would have cost
anybody else hundreds if not thousands of dollars of the
last two years.

I've put up with untold flak from people who used to
respect me, for giving you these resources.

I've tried my best to help you with your projects
even though they're in direct commercial competition
with what I do.

All in hope you would one day do something, ANYTHING
constructive. To date, you still have not.

When I wouldnt fold to your extortive attempts:
"give me a free office and I'll support eDNS",
"support altRFC and I'll support eDNS" you
then proceeded to shit on eDNS, TFCN, TFN,
basically anybody who won't let you assume
an element of control.

All the entities above operate on rough consensus
and running code. Not gerrymandering serlf serving
abusive little control freaks such as yourself.

Don't like them ? Don't use them.  I've never seen
anybody bitch so hard at free resources or bite
so savigely the hand that feeds them.

No, you're just another net.kook in a long
line of net.kooks. Your poetry sucks, you
appear to be losing it again, and you're no
longer amusing, just spitefull. Bob against
the world, but the world is getting rather bored.

That you and Gard have a machine that is on
Beckers network, and Becker being a paid
contractor to the TFN who gives his resources
to you two clowns freely is not without notice.

Think this through, Bob: shut down the freenet
and Becker doesnt have that contract. No contract
no income. No income, your connectivity goed away
as does Gard's. It would appear you have a much greater
vested interest in the status quo than most poeple.

Nobody has ben ripped off, except for the 
poeple who pay to read your messages.

More baseless allegations. If you had anything
actionable, you'd actually do something, but there
is nothing and you have nothing.

You're the world weekly news of the net bob,
a foul, smearing, self centered egomanical
magalomaniac seerely lacking in a clue of any
sort.

You're the Heraldo of the freenet, tilting at
windills, shitting all over anything you can't
control, who never has and probably never will
make any contribution to the net.community.

You used to be a harmless fool, boB, now
you're just an asshole.
