Talk about a jealous loser!  I can't imagine how much jealosy you must harbour
for Ian if it makes you this vindictive.

Not much I, or anyone else who has a modem faster than 2400 baud, can do
when T2 absolutely destroys the connection by losing almost half of the
characters coming through the port!  This has been corroborated over and
over again and is without question.  While I hope that a new version of T2
will fix this problem, it ain't out yet, is it?  If people pointing out an
obvious deficiancy in T2 makes you shit in your shorts, tough.  Deal with it
in a mature and responsible fashion, instead of levelling insults at the
person noting the deficiency.

If you want to bash Ian any more, please use IRC or mail.  Nobody wants to
hear it.

PS: Go ahead and slam Ian and I in documentation for your programs, where we
have no way of responding.  Pathetic.
