- Roman,
-
- First off, my name is _Patrick_. Not Pat. Now that we have that out of
- the way.
-
- I can not see why you have dragged this discussion further than the realms
- of ElectroSystems BBS. I told you there: the subject is dead in the
- water. As I have stated, PCPN is a dead network RE: Commodore. There is
- next to nothing in terms of actual Commodore conversation, save for
- yourself. Notice, I said NEXT to nothing. There are still some
- "diehards" out there on PCPN, including myself, Dug Rodger, etc. But in
- general, as quoted above from my message: PCPN's Confs 64 & 128 have
- ground to a screeching hault.
-
- RE: My depth of experience. Roman, you have no idea how much experience I
- actually have with the Commodore 8-Bit community. I have been in the
- 'scene' as it were for well over 6 or 7 years as both a shareware
- programmer, and a 'computer hacker'.
-
- RE: PCPN install guide. This will be my last note on this subject.. You
- constantly refer to your guide, etc., and on Electrosystems BBS you
- constantly ask me if I have "..done this or done that.." on _"MY"_
- system. Roman, I do not have a PCPN system. I have never had a PCPN
- system, I will NEVER HAVE a PCPN system. You always ask me how much local
- time I have had with PCPN: The answer to that is NONE. Roman, I am not a
- PCPN sysop. I am a PCPN user.
-
- Anyways.
-
- Enough of this subject. Roman, I will not reply to this thread again,
- here or on ElectroSystems/PCPN, unless seriously insulted by your
- statements. IE: Your statement that _I was an IMPOSTER_, when you
- couldn't fathom my original postings.
-
- Oh, one more thing:

-
- I shall say this one more time, just to make myself clear: I have no
- experience with any of the x-ware or Commercial versions of the
- PC-Punternet software. I have never claimed to have any actual experience
- with the software, other than as an end user. Thusly, I have zero depth
- of knowledge.
-
- And finally, PLEASE stop spelling my name in CAPS. It is extremely annoying.
-
- Sincerely,
