He's also not very good at dissemination, or doesn't work at it enough. It's all very well saying "I told you so" when, at least in the internet age, he's done the equivalent of writing "I told you so" on a disposable napkin which he then locked in the bottom drawer of a filing cabinet in a basement room of a condemned building on a locked site with a sign outside saying "BEWARE OF THE LEOPARD", when he could've easily put it on an enormous poster on a main street. I've said enough about that on this list in the past, but I am excited that it's nearly the end of October and hence we should get the final VPRI report and (according to past assertions from the crew) a code drop shortly. -- http://rrt.sc3d.org _______________________________________________ fonc mailing list fonc@vpri.org http://vpri.org/mailman/listinfo/fonc
