I would have preferred to send this to you by private email, but you
seem to be too impolite to use a real email address in your postings.
So, I'm left with no choice but to post it to the world.
I can sense that you're displeased. You've made that abundantly obvious
by repeating yourself (and repeating yourself, and repeating yourself,
and repeating yourself, and...).
While I have no responsibility for the condition of kermit or the
policies of its maintainers, I can appreciate that they will put in the
things they want to and won't put in the things they don't want to. After
all, it's THEIR software.
You are, of course, welcome to request enhancements, and they are free
to determine that they don't wish to do them.
As has been pointed out you are free to do them yourself if you feel so
strongly about it.
But this ongoing, continuous, series of L O N G, abusive, and boring
postings of yours is unnecessary. You're welcome to stop it at any time.
I've not (yet) added you to my killfile, but if you keep it up I will.
Please understand that while it's a free newsgroup, that you're NOT
contributing anything useful to it by your ongong ravings. Please be a
good social citizen and cut it out.
If you really have a kermit need that's not being met you would be better
advised to carry out a short concise, POLITE, and non-abusive email or
telephone dialog with the kermit folks themselves. Perhaps waving money
under their noses will get you what you want (after all, the project
survives by selling its wares--no sales, no project). But please don't
continue to dump all over them. It won't do anybody any good, including you.
Thanks!
Fred Smith
If I get any rants/flames in reply it'll just get you added to my spam
filter, so please don't.
