Mathew -
I'm surprised at you. It's been a couple of days since
I posted to this group, offering my systems full resources in
allowing you to "fix" Cnews, yet you've still not responded.
In case you missed my initial message (because some nasty
Cnews site gobbled it up), I will give you full access to
my system's resources. You can dial in at any time you
like. I'll give you the full set of Cnews sources and you
can play around as long as you like. I'm running on a NeXT
with BSD 4.3, so you shouldn't have any complaints concerning
developing environments or compatibility.
Well, what about it? Just e-mail me at the address below,
I will give you the phone number (+1 607-277-1440) and an
account name and password (sorry, can't give those over the
usenet).

ps. Sorry for wasting the net.bandwidth, everyone. It's just that
I can't trust e-mail, since it won't notify me properly if something
goes wrong in between. I think personally that e-mail should post
undeliverable mail to net.lost-mail with distribution: world. What
do you think? After all, it's very important that mathew get this
note.....

Right. Next problem is that I don't have a suitable telephone line, and that even if I did I'd be breaking the law if I connected your unapproved American modem to it. I'm currently looking at the possibility of moving over to MINIX and getting C News to run on that. mathew [ And why is everyone using this newsgroup instead of email all of a sudden? ]

That way he can actually do something about improving Cnews. - jiro -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com Shaman Consulting +1 607 277-1440 Voice/Fax/Data "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!"

All I've seen in news.software.b has been flamefests at Cnews. Well, I suggest that you visit a qualified optician, as I posted a detailed and entirely reasonable proposal concerning how to improve C News some six days ago. Perhaps you just didn't notice it; oddly enough, all the people who were busy flaming me don't seem to have found anything to flame in my proposal. This seems to me to support my opinion that people haven't been listening to what I've been saying. I would have liked to have been able to discuss the problems with C News without having to sit down and write a semi-formal proposal, but I suppose I was just being over-optimistic in trying to do so. > Why don't we let Henry get back to work and not waste his time with > ill-thought schemes? If you think my scheme is ill-thought, please tell me exactly what you think is wrong with it. So far as I am aware, you have yet to contribute anything of value to this debate; your postings seem to consist of nothing but snide personal attacks against me. I am therefore setting followups to alt.flame, a much more suitable place for that kind of posting. mathew
