Re: A86: Re: Re: Re: freeservers web space [ot]
I AM SICK AND TIRED OF THIS CRAP _ANYWHERE_, AND ESPECIALLY ON THE LISTS.
THE LISTS ARE NOT A PLACE FOR THIS. IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS THIS, GO START
YOUR OWN I.HATE.TICALC.ORG MAILING LIST. ALSO BRYAN YOU ARE BRINGING EVERY
POSSIBLE IRRELEVANT POINT INTO THE ARGUMENT. SAYING THAT TICALC.ORG IS
COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST BECAUSE THE SERVER IS IN SWEDEN AND SWEDEN IS SOCIALIST
IS A BUNCH OF CRAP.
[SORRY, MY CAPS LOCK SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN IRREVOCABLY GOT STUCK =P]
