    Dear Bob,

    It's Robert James from alt.2600!

    This is starting to get absurd, buddy. I talked to your wife (Maureen
    Hoffman, birth date: Aug 26) tonight over Skype and informed her of the failure off your systems to integrate into Usenet. I have tried to
    inform you through Usenet several times in SEVERAL POSTS over several
    years:

    "If Familynet-international.net's miserably screwed up BBS/FidoNet/
    Usenet "service" starts repeating and reposting EVERY FREAKING GOD
    DAMN THING ON A NEWSGROUP again, ha ha!"

    "To the person using familynet-international.net to view my threads -
    Get the fuck off Usnet familynet-international.net, and your broke-assed fideonet server."

    etc? I could go on, but then I start to get a little rude and dirty?.

    And then there is your monthly spamming of alt.bbs.sysop among others.

    Look Bob, the point is no one wants your broke Fido server echoing EVERY SINGLE post made by other Usenet users, even in non-Christian groups.
    Then changing their email to @familynet-international.net. As a recent
    example of this faggotry of your system:

    http://groups.google.com/group/alt.2600/browse_thread/thread/947340ee07c
    916c0

    --- FIDOGATE 4.4.10
    * Origin: FTN Gate on kofobbs.net (8:7606/150.98)

    So I offer you a choice, fix your system or get the HELL OFF USENET! I
    don't care about FidoNet and your BBS systems, but you're B.S. on
    alt.2600 and other groups will be put to a stop?

    How would your fellow bus drivers at Greyhound feel about your
    reposting? Kind of sad that you went from a Senior Manager OSS Project
    Manager with WorldCom to a Regional Director with NorthPoint
    Communications to a little 'ol bus driver. I feel that a RCA Institute
    of Electronics certificate holder and an ex-Liberty University student
    would have more sense to operate a network.

    After all 30 years' experience with telecommunication equipment like
    DMS-250, 5ESS, SS7 would make any phone phreak understand the FREAK'IN
    basics of USENET.

    I know now you will seriously consider taking down your echo list off
    USENET. If I start seeing a lot of echoes on alt.2600 from now on I may seriously consider booting up an old copy of HyperTerminal and have some
    "fun" <snickers> on "someones" BBS.

    Tootles,
    Robert James
