This message was in fact¨ not penned by Mr. Henderson. It was an attempt by ourselves to imply¨ that the recent illicit activities taking place in the net were¨ caused by Mr. Henderson. This has never been proven. The message¨ in question was in fact written by the two of us. We have no excuse¨ other than our own childish stupidity. This has resulted in our own ¨ More[Y,n] discredit. We can only offer our sincere apologies to Mr.¨ Wong and Mr. Henderson. In addition, we apologize to the entire¨ network for our infantile behavior. This could only take place given¨ the current level of distrust and deceit in the network. In light¨ of the actions we have taken, and the blow that our credibility has ¨ taken, we find it necessary to step down from our respective positions¨ in the network. The positions of "Opus_INFO 'here'", National¨ Echomail Coordinator, and Sysop Echomail Moderator are now vacant.¨ We trust you will make the proper choices for the new appointees for¨ these positions.

I know he may be a friend of yours,¨ and I wont say Im glad, but I feel somewhat satisfied tat they manged¨ managed to go one step too far. Finster did some terrible attacks on¨ me and others, including Ken Kaplan, as low as racial slurs in some¨ cases. Very bad vibes to say the least. He made things up from whole¨ cloth. I skip this, its old news, old sores. Just a reminder that¨ things like this have happened, info was fabricated, and that people¨ should watch what people DO, not what they MIGHT or COULD do. This¨ isnt "to" you, this is just a passing comment, really! There's no t¨ many that would understand it, thats all, since very few people aroud¨ today saw that stuff. Thats all!
