Your response was that it was "a harmless remark" and you would say that to anyone. You also said some other nasty things about me which I won't repeat here. You never said you were sorry you said it. Fine, I don't need to be on a network with an insensitive fool like you anyway. Henceforth, AMD does not talk to NSC.

Phil sez: So I think we haven't really lost control yet. If in fact the S/N ratio does keep getting worse, we could easily start an elitist net. Perhaps it would be moderated. But I think something could ... So, Chuq sez: We? If it is elitist, who said you'd be invited onto it???? *smirk* So (of course), Phil sez: Fine, I don't need to be on a network with an insensitive fool like you anyway. Henceforth, AMD does not talk to NSC. Farewell. "I'm taking my modem home..." ... come on guys. Does this need to be a personal thing? We're talking about network connectivity here, not just one person's feelings. I really have nothing to say about what you two think of each other, but does it have to manifest itself at the expense of Bay Area connectivity? Phil? You called me a "hairball" the other day (without, I might add, a "*smirk*"...), but did I go and find support from my SA to turn off AMD's feed from ucbvax?

Henceforth, > AMD does not talk to NSC. Farewell. It seems that the elitism we all worried about wasn't the problem at all -- it looks like the big problem is system administrators choosing news feeds on the basis of personalities. Phil and Chuqui had a spat, and Phil took all his marbles and went home, unplugging his uucp connection with nsc as he did so. What a marvellously mature way of arranging network connections! Next thing you know, we'll do it on the basis of "my dad can beat your dad" and "You're funny-looking." Phil: you're the first one to publicly put elitism into practice. Are you going to announce a policy of "be nice to Phil or lose your news feeds," or do you plan to keep going on an ad hoc basis? Or, (please please please) was it just overreaction to Chuqui's unique prose style? -- Robert Plamondon {turtlevax, resonex, cae780}!weitek!robert

There was no offense meant to Phil or to anyone, and I'm very sorry to see that he took it the way he did. I have long considered Phil a friend, I'm sorry to see that the friendship doesn't seem to have survived the current situation. If Phil feels he has to cut the links, I'm apologize to the network for putting him in that position. >Geeze... this is how wars start. Only if both parties allow it. I never wanted anything to go public, and I'm sorry Phil felt he had to make a statement on the situation. Anything I say further, I'll say in private, since this really has nothing to do with the net. -- Chuq Von Rospach nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA {decwrl,hplabs,ihnp4}!nsc!chuqui An uninformed opinion is no opinion at all.

Children under 10 use to say such things... I cannot understand that it can be so difficult to bear remarks like those of "Chuqui". I often hear such remarks but never have I felt offensed in such a way by them. -- --- Karl Tombre @ CRIN (Centre de Recherche en Informatique de Nancy) UUCP: ...!vmucnam!crin!tombre or ...!inria!crin!tombre COSAC: crin/tombre POST: Karl Tombre, CRIN, B.P. 239, 54506 VANDOEUVRE CEDEX, France "Car le plus lourd fardeau, c'est d'exister sans vivre."
