Good One Mr Broomfield. How many times do you respond to an email answering
just the subject line without reading the email contents?
I seriously doubt ANY of us would ever do so, and I seriously doubt if you
Administrative Contact (who has full authority to speak for the domain) is so
naive as you would portray him to be. As a matter of fact, if I were him and
so how little you thought of me, I'd be looking for a replacement technical
contact.
I find it so amusing that the supporters of CORE have to stretch so far to find
a criticism of their supporters.
Hey everyone, if you read this, you are reading nothing but fine print
according to Mr Broomfield. According to his logic, the subject line has to
say it all.
Get real.
