        No, it's called contractual obligation. Some of the stuff would have
        pointed straight at me... No could do either ethicly or practicly.

        You missed my point entirely, I think. I am pro-disclosure damnit.
        furthermore, I mailed this like 5 days ago... It only NOW got out,
        long after the situation had changed. 

> I don't accept that, you have no proof of that.
        Only my personal experiences, and what I've seen with other people
        in the same boat.

        No, ya really can't. but you can make it hard & audited.

        When I posted this, you wern't dealing with thigs with the same resolution
        level you are now. if the fileservers THE alternative, I'll use it.
        I still think summary information to the list might be a good deal,
        but not a large relativly empty report on it in the prior format
        you'd used.

        You've missed the point entirely that what I got annoyed with was
        a change from rock solid useful information to stuff that wsa relativly
        vaporous. I like what you WERE doing, and am frustrated by your seeming
        need to backtrack on it.


> Sorry you feel that way, I won't lose any sleep over your worthless comments
> Tim.
        You enjoy getting the same information 5 diffrent times buried in 
        diffrently titled mailings? I don't... but hey diffrent strokes.

> You're not related to Pat are you?
        No but I guess I can go off on par with him when I get pissed... ;)
