    Andrew,

    Rob Swindell was elected to another term this past spring. From FTA-1003.035:

    Then please publish it on FTSC.ORG.

    It still reads as FTA-1003.034 being the current document. Am I the onlyone seeing this?

    Mark,

    apparently you missed the bottom of Andrew's post where he acked that it was somehow missed being published and he would see to it ;)

    And?...Writing "You're right, I'll get to it asap" would be same as 7 screens of text that nobody reads ... I'm amazed someone dredged through it till the end.

    But, you want us to read the bottoms of messages? Just like ... this?

    "The soul of a small kitten in the body of a mighty dragon. Look on my majesty, ye mighty, and despair! Or bring me catnip. Your choice. Oooh, a shiny thing!"
    ... More annoying than a reformed smoker is a former carboholic.

    That's 200% of the original 2 lines you wrote...

    unless i'm mistaken, he posted it so it was at least available for perusal... it is ok that you didn't scroll to the bottom... you're not the first and certainly won't be the last ;)

    sure,,, some of them are quite witty... others aren't so but they can still be fun...

    Just like ... this?

    excellent job! have a beer!
    i'd join you but i don't drink alcohol any more... stopped that about 6 years ago... it was time after these last 18 years which started when i lost my oldest son in Jan 2008 (27yo)... consuming 4 or 5 1.75 liter bottles of rum a week by myself while losing everyone else that was close and mattered to me took its toll... if anyone was paying attention, they may have noticed that 2020 was about the time i curbed my visible participation in fidonet... yeah, that would be about the time i stopped drinking...

    i hope you have a great rest of your day and remember, "any day you wake up with your feet on the green side of the grass is a good day..." O:)
