Hi Ward,

   True, he is not from the U.S., he's Canadian.. OOPS my brother has lived in   
   Canada for about 30 years and so have some of my other family members...   
   _scratch that idea_.   
      
   ** Really, Ward, when have I EVER said anything negative about Nick, or even   
   his software in the past?? You won't come up with an answer on this, because   
   you know this is not the case, and never has been. **   
      
   Perhaps the reason for this whole ridiculous discussion is that Nick's   
   feelings were hurt when I contacted him about his latest release because one   
   of the FileGate HUBs had a problem with Nick's release.  Sorry to damage your   
   ego Nick, as I obviously did.   
      
   The full story of that HUB is that this HUB's software, MBSE, will not toss   
   software that Nick released as distributed because if fails a virus test that   
   MBSE's internal virus checker uses, which happens to be ClamAv IIRC.  Yes, when   
   brought to my attention by this HUB in the UK who runs MBSE, I checked the   
   other files released by Nick and saw other files in the past had the same   
   problem. And Yes, I asked Nick to send a new release that would pass all virus   
   scanning tools.   
      
   In the midst of hurried Memorial Day Weekend celebrations and preparations I   
   also admit I sent Netmail to the HUB and cc'd Nick saying I'd ask Nick to   
   "Clean up this mess".   Oh well.  You may all continue your slamming of Fidonet   
   people here.   
      
   We all know this whole situation was brought on by a false positive for virus   
   with Nick's files, and I guess there is nothing he can do to change that false   
   positive?  Meanwhile, when Ben stated he'd contacted ClamAV.Net regarding   
   these files as false-positives, the shit in here turned to Ben...because he'd   
   rather wait for confirmation from ClamAV.Net before putting Nick's file on his   
   system... unreal.   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
