Re: Afternic/RCOM: Tucows stance on secondary market speculation

I don't know who "Bruce P." is, but he is *certainly not*
[EMAIL PROTECTED] That is me, and I take great offence at anybody
'borrowing' my email address to post complete crap to this list. It
tarnishes my reputation.

If anybody can help me find out who 'Bruce P.' really is, I would be very
grateful. Sounds like it could be someone who didn't like one of my
postings...
