This message was in fact not penned by Mr. Henderson. It was an attempt by ourselves to imply that the recent illicit activities taking place in the net were caused by Mr. Henderson. This has never been proven. The message in question was in fact written by the two of us. We have no excuse other than our own childish stupidity. This has resulted in our own discredit. We can only offer our sincere apologies to Mr. Wong and Mr. Henderson. In addition, we apologize to the entire network for our infantile behavior. This could only take place given the current level of distrust and deceit in the network. In light of the actions we have taken, and the blow that our credibility has taken, we find it necessary to step down from our respective positions in the network. The positions of "Opus_INFO 'here'", National Echomail Coordinator, and Sysop Echomail Moderator are now vacant. We trust you will make the proper choices for the new appointees for these positions.

I know he may be a friend of yours, and I wont say Im glad, but I feel somewhat satisfied tat they manged managed to go one step too far. Finster did some terrible attacks on me and others, including Ken Kaplan, as low as racial slurs in some cases. Very bad vibes to say the least. He made things up from whole cloth. I skip this, its old news, old sores. Just a reminder that things like this have happened, info was fabricated, and that people should watch what people DO, not what they MIGHT or COULD do. This isnt "to" you, this is just a passing comment, really! There's no t many that would understand it, thats all, since very few people aroud today saw that stuff. Thats all!
