Put up or shut up Tim. You claimed just yesterday that no notice of
termination of the toad.com list was sent. Clearly you were wrong on that
point. Why should we take your word any further than we can throw it? We
shouldn't. You would do well to take your own advice and actualy read some
of your own posts from say '96.

Past several years? It's only just barely two years old. Speaking of porous.
If you'd actualy go back and look at the archives (as I spent several hours
doing today) you'd find that in fact it hasn't been discussed to any great
degree at all. As a matter of fact the VAST majority of the relevant time
period is simply missing from the current archive.

Actualy neither did any such thing. Go back and read what they wrote. It is
worthless. Vitriole, pure and simple.
> Reality is what it is.
Groan. Such stupid statments.

That's funny. If you've got archives of the relevant period please be so
kind as to forward your supposedly non-existant toad termination notice. As
suggested by another list member, it's around Jan. or Feb. '97. Should be a
real no-brainer for you...
