Re: A86: Attn: Bryan Rabeler
Why don't we all just send Magnus loads of email requesting iDanny be kicked
off? I'd be willing to
create a few alias email addresses for this :P Seriously though, why aren't
people complaining about iDanny as well as Bryan? I, for one, find him FAR
more annoying than Bryan. If not excessively productive, Bryan's OT posts
are at least entertaining, and often quite funny. IDanny's, on the other
hand, are usually just ignorant and stupid. Also, he tends to lose his
temper a lot... (or at least the equivalent in email: CAPS and swearing)
