[Dxbase] [dxbase] The future of DXBase, et. al.

Sun May 22 22:12:28 EDT 2016

Neil,
Think we have stumbled into an old sore spot that dates back years ago 
with some of the gray hairs on the list. There was once a time that 
criticism would have resulted in a "Banned from Boston" edict on the 
DXBase mailing list. Will not go into details but that is the baggage 
that came with DXBase. On the other hand, some of the comments that have 
been directed to you over the last couple were totally out of line. You 
have a tougher skin than I do.
