i don't think you're growing into Boyd's shoes. he wouldn't
have written that long of a message. (i also don't think he
would have fussed about the description.) i still think boyd
was a service. even when we ran him off for a month or so.

Oh for fuck's sake. Perhaps you're justified in feeling peevish towards
Uriel, but I don't care. Was it really necessary to take a gratuitously
nasty swipe at some one who is no longer here to answer back? Even if
you didn't care for Boyd's posts - and I personally, along with many
others, found them unfailingly entertaining, and think the list is a
good deal poorer for his absence - at least you could be accurate in
your criticism. "Lots of whining"? I don't recall Boyd ever whining.
"Hardly any actual contribution"? In terms of code, no doubt accurate,
but in terms of entertainment and general good cheer, his contribution
was considerable. "Memory loss"? I don't recall any memory loss on
Boyd's part - no doubt due to convenient memory loss on my part - but
if there was one, I imagine it was down to the Jack Daniels , not
because of any attempt to reinforce his desired view of the world. For
fuck's sake.
