Re: rtc should close

Before you go, George, I hope that you know that I always considered you one
of the "good guys", but knowing your pedigree from our days on Prodigy, I
can understand how you feel today.

Unmoderated newsgroups are an "almost" risk free way to attack the people
who don't agree with you.

I hope that we can stay in touch and meet aboard a ship so that I can buy
you a drink.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand
