Hello Michel -
I've been watching `the team' as they re-post old files trying desperately to
push all their ill-chosen comments into archival storage on `dejanews'.
It's an old trick that is used where only recent msgs are maintained. Stuff
random msgs on top and the ones you want to be rid of fall off the bottom.
If you repost every msg that we have put here that they are trying to bury
they will redouble their text file output (posting old files can be automated
and doesn't require any real thinking) until this newsgroup would look like
CNN headquarters.
If I was doing this from work as they are and being paid while this nonsense
was going on it would be fun to see who would cave in first. I suspect that
someone at Columbia monitors use of the system and would begin asking
questions eventually.
I don't think Joe Doupnik realizes that the killing of MSKermit is necessary
to sell copies of K95. It seems `the team' has somehow managed to get
permission from Columbia (who has made a mistake IMO) to sell copies of K95.
MSKermit _also_ operates efficiently in the Windows environment and is free
while K95 is not. Seems fairly obvious that you can't give free working
copies while trying to sell another?
I originally thought he was in on this with `the team' but now I'm not so
sure. Joe seems quite fond of his MSK and I can't imagine under what
circumstances he would allow it to wither and die. When Joe is out of the
picture MSKermit will probably be deleted from the Columbia servers and since
Columbia has arranged to own it they can demand it's removal from the others.
In the end K95 will fail and damage the reputation of kermit in the process.
