Matt,

This is not intended as a flame.  Everytime you read Usenet, you need
to start out by reminding yourself that not everything you read is
going to be true.  In fact, most of what you will read is probably not
true.  If it were, then it just wouldn't be Usenet.  ;-)

Gene Spafford (could be wrong here) perhaps best summed it up with:

"Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea -- massive,
difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of
mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it."

--Marcus

I would like to take this time to state I do sift through this group as well
(although not hundreds on a dialy basis) And for what? The love of the game,
trying to push Papy to go the extra yard. For no financial gain whatsoever.

In all honesty you would think a company would always sift through the ng in
their best interests. I for one would always want to know what my customers
were thinking. So if Jim does it all on his own it's a credit to him and a
discredit to Papy. They should pay a man to know what the customer is thinking
about a product. We sure have'm at our place and we only have a handful of
customers.

I don't know but this is a two way street and Papy should be here. Obviously
the *** who did this is easily forgotten and shouldn't deter any effort from
Papy to stay here. Your gonna have this kinda stuff in a forum like this. You
just look forward to the next post.

Wow.  Forged news.  This is an impressive display of your technical skills.
Now come on, you posted this at 8:50 PM CST from your netcom account.  Isn't

        The post was a fake by some one who needs to be struck with lightning a
few times.

        Glad to hear your still with us Jim. There always has to be one person
trying to ruin something for everyone else. I think that probably 95% of
the people who read his message complained to his ISP so we shouldn't
have to deal with him any longer.

Notice how Richard Manning has not responded to any of this.  What's the
deal Richard didn't think things through fully.  

I guess that age old saying applies to you "Young, Dumb and full of
Cum."   Grow up Richard that is what we would expect from a person in
middle school that rides the little yellow air conditioned bus.

Forged news follows


My, my, my; someone's got to fill up my day with something to do. The
above post is a fake, apparently from an individual with a grudge
against me and Papyrus.

The patch has most certainly not been cancelled, and no announcements
regarding NRO, nor N3 have been made.

I've asked the postmaster to ascertain the party responsible (I'm sure
that'll take some world-class sleuthing...) and to take appropriate
action. I've also notified Papyrus management of this incident, and I
suspect they'll want to have a little to do with it.

In the meantime, if the above post, after hearing what the truth is,
offends you, please express (in few words; postmasters are busy

Thanks, I apologize for those who have been misled by this individual,
and I presumably share your hope that justice will indeed by
eventually served,
