- *PATIENT*
-
- Yes, in the sense that he has taken the time and trouble to flame me
- continually as I tried to create this group. There now exists a
- charter for the group, it *has* been discussed on alt.config - I admit
- there were a few mistakes in the beginning, but Tim did not at any
- point try to help - he never suggested a correct name - he never told
- me what I should do, he told me what I should have done.

-
- I don't care about your configuration. All I want is for you to let
- your users know that there is a group called a.m.a.k - if they don't
- want to read it - no problem.

-
- That's the right attitude!

- PS There's no way alt.harry is getting created here either. DS
