Well said, Dan. Your continued demonstration of honesty and your evident integrity and rationality, to say nothing of some guts, are admirable. PCRelay:WHHCL -> WESTNET + msgs Copyright 1990 by author. 4.10.9 Writers Happy Hours - Seattle - 206-364-2139

Perhaps the worst of it is that the examples you've drawn attention to are by no means isolated, either within COSUARD or within the wider "BBS community" as a whole. PCRelay:WHHCL -> WESTNET + msgs Copyright 1990 by author. 4.10.9 Writers Happy Hours - Seattle - 206-364-2139

>Well said, Dan. Your continued demonstration of honesty and your eviden >integrity and rationality, to say nothing of some guts, are admirable. Maybe so, but foolish no. All I've done is make enemies. The point seems to be lost. Getting what COSUARD wants will NOT be easy. I can safely guess that what little disposable time Reggie has as a lawyer is all being eaten up with the PUC case. Just look at the motions he's filed. Were talking research and consultation big time. If that's happening, I think the least the rest of us can do is play our little parts well. Thanks for the kind words. For crying out loud, there's no reason to choose and sides here, but like most organizations of more than three people the are "in" groups and "out" groups in that the Houston portion of COSUARD. I guess I'm fortunate that I'm not alone. * Via ProDoor 3.1 * RNet 1.02: COSUARD Net:COSUARD BBS-Houston, Tx-713-487-3911

>Maybe so, but foolish no. All I've done is make enemies. Not so! There are those of us who don't really know you that well and are finding it hard to adjust to your direct nature. Personally, I appreciate that, though, as offensive as it may seem at times, I am much the same way. We do need to hear both sides of the fence and we also need to be made aware of what the situation may look like from "the other side." It may help some of us to throw in a little padding the next time you drop the bomb. I am well aware of you expertise in the area of telecommunications and am very glad to have any input you wish to offer. >guess that what little disposable time Reggie has as a lawyer is all >being eaten up with the PUC case.

Allthough I feel that after this is over I will be personally ready to take the bar exam, I think that the effort put forth by Reggie at this point is virtually immeasurable. He definitely deserves all the help we can give, no matter how meager it may seem. >Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks Don. I guess you could say I am a *frustrated* writer just waiting to get out. But, I have no illusions of writhing that *new author first novel* and actually making some money with it. The most I hope to achieve is to get the message of what SWB is trying to do to the sysops in Texas. If I succeed in that, I will be happy!!!!!! * RNet 1.02: COSUARD Net:COSUARD BBS-Houston, Tx-713-487-3911
