But while looking, I did find [link|http://www.os2hq.com/archives/arch17.htm|this], from a former IWE regular I believe.

And I knew fray, I was just being ummm Me?!

I came in after Sandy Reed Had Annouced this to the world and gotten all the justification she needed to show it as a fraud. I believe it was actually Ed Foster and an E-Mail to his Gripe Column on "Software Quality" does it do what they say it does? or something of the like. I think it was the first one of that blend he did.

He specifically invited me to join the discussion he was sponsoring. I never really did say anything until I flamed Ross, and he flamed me back about me being an "Anally Retentive" System Admin. And he'd find a way around MY stuff if he worked where I did.

But, I can see things have changed... err well maybe not... I'm still Anally retentive... Judge Ross fer your self! We are all alot of fun here. I still get a big kick out of CRC, malraux, Bryce (yes I like beating someone who keeps coming back)... Beep, BOFH, and so on.

It makes me smile thinking about the wonderful "discussions" we've had in the past about things, Religion, Theology, Mathematics, Technology, Politics, Suppression of Innovation, blah blah blah.

I really missed these people we call IWETHEY, after I gave up on Sleazyboard. BTW, I STILL get e-mail from them. My 3 year account I used twice (well maybe more) still is there. I changed the e-mail address wayback when).

So to us all, we are definately a group that is dysfunctionally together. ;)

Yes, I think he actually said so a few times. Consider his first post at 19079, cwbrenn's at 19482 and mine, there must have been some OS/2 related article that attracted us to their site. Uuhh... Only the BIGGEST FUCKING SCANDAL EVER in the history of InfoWorld; an incident that makes the Exclusion fiasco look like Windows 95's market introduction...
