Re: Hal

I feel you are acting VERY immature about this situation, you can't even
stand a view other than yours...  If you hear one you instantly reguard it
as trash and filter it out of your mail.

Second: You are the one that first posted **TO THE WHOLE LIST** your
disgruntled views about HAL.  Is this NOT EXACTLY WHAT YOU ACCUSE ME OF?
Not only are you immature but you are also a hypocrate.

If possible, will someone foward this to domroy so that he will receive a
copy of it.
