- If your version of Waffle won't let you configure your site properly,
- get a real version of Waffle.

- Because he figured that you wouldn't bother to act on your own behalf
- and fix your own problems with the software you already have, and he has
- somewhat more interest in following the procedures that the rest of the
- does?

- Ok, maybe if you were running a real copy of Waffle and not the
- "modified" version you were given it would be more functional?
-
- >Since now HELLDIVER works properly,
-
- If your Waffle configuration was correct, Helldiver would be able to
- read the same static file your Waffle did. Helldiver is not and was not
- at fault here.

-
- I understand. You have a toy, and you don't give a damn whether your toy
- works properly with everyone else's systems as long as your postings get
- out. You couldn't care less that people you annoy in mail can't reply to
- your annoyance.
-
- I only hope that you tire of your toy soon and put it away so the rest
- of us don't have to put up with it. There are people who are happy when
- nets are interoperable, and take an active interest in seeing that
- continue. Stop sabotaging them.
