Seems that this Newsgroup is now a forum for rants , putdown's, and general BS. Ah for the good old days when people weren't so damned anal about their egos. Steps down and goes back to lurking.

"the good old days (whenever that was)"

-- with appologies to Bob Hoover.

......................When were these good old days that I keep hearing about? RAMVA is actually kind of tame now when you think of some the flamefests from three or four years ago.

Appologies to Bob? okay max you got me all confused now...Bob is very knowledgable, and definitely an asset to this group, but i belive he "threw the first punch" here....

Not at all what I meant. Bob uses that phrase quite a bit. The "appologies" were just for highjacking the phrase. I was just making a (very small) joke.

Better?

sorry Max...just didn't "click" with me...

...on the contrary. Shaggie clearly stated:

"heh Would be easy enough to do. I already downloaded all of them from that sever in Turkey or wherever it was a long time ago. Oh. Did I say that?"

.....ANYONE with knowledge of Mr. Hoover's ongoing battle to protect mass distributation his copywrited material would find this statement to be offensive and inflamatory, showing a great level of inconsideration to Mr. Hoover. I found Mr. Hoover's response quite apropriate in view of the background information. Yes Bob knows many people did access illegal copies of the sermons andf download....after all its desireable knowledge. But to flaunt that fact, and the ease of which copying that knowledge could be done, in a thread which Mr. Hoover was participating actively no less, was far from tactful.

...Gareth

I agree with Gareth. Shaggie likes to pull chains, sometimes he pulls the wrong one. I don't see why Shaggie got so upset over Bob's retort. If you rib somebody in the wrong place the onus is upon you to make it right. I've been on this NG for years now and I have never noticed Bob taking part in any of the occasional ribbing that takes place here so why drag him into it? And why expect him to take it in stride?

Yeah, Gary. I've never seen you post anything out here that was far from tactful. It was a joke, but apparently Bob think it was funny so he told me my head was up my ass. I told him he could kiss it. Life goes on.

..............When it comes to ACVWs (and a lot of other things), Bob Hoover is the lion. I don't see how you could've had your head up your ass though, with your tail always between your legs getting in the way.

HAH! :-)

Which reminds me. My wife now requires my services as the washer-of-cruddy-pots, upstairs. See you-all later. Maybe.
