I just want to point out to all interested parties here, that these are the
opinions of Mr. Roy Barret, and NOT necessarily representative of....

1. Greg Boehnlein
2. Shane Zatezal
3. Joshua Thompson

Or any of the other METAL/FutureNet community. Please direct all "Slander"
messages to his Internet address and not ours. We really don't give a flying
**** about the ACOS / LLUCE / MACOS / METAL wars and are happy with the
product that we have chosen to run as our BBS program. It serves our purposes
quite well, thank you, and it has been quite well supported.

We have more important things to worry about than ripping on other languages.
