so, Zxcvb, or anonymous poster, one of your accusations appears to be false according to the information provided by Zeljko Dimic at the bottom of this email. it'll be interesting to see what happens to your other accusations.
In the meantime, i'll repeat that i'll keep my business with opensrs and the folks who run things there, folks like Scott Allan and others. Well, it's New Years, and the Tequila is calling me as the revellers start the chillin'. Hope everyone has a safe, honest, prosperous and Funky 2002.
