It's not like *you* don't have supporters, either!  Eric and James, for instance
haven't exactly let this issue slide, either, you know!

He has *never* said that, and I challenge you to provide a quote from him, to
prove this allegation.

Yes, and he did *not* say what you alleged that he said.  Mind you, I am
willing to admit that there MIGHT have been messages which ZOOiD didn't
properly receive from uunet, during our occasional downtime, but I *DOUBT* that
Don would have said anything that you implied.  Besides which, even if he *had*
AND I had missed it, it would certainly have shown up in people's quoted
replies to him - and I have seen nothing of the sort from *anyone's* replies.
