[Fhsst-authors] Re: New author - CVS Login Problem

[J. Greer]

My time is valuable as well. I have gone over every conceivable iteration of 
the pages you sent me as I tried to outline in my message. I have been involved 
with unix for many years as well.



Please remove me from the fhsst program. I don't need your attitude!



I hope you don't treat all volunteers this way.



73, Jeff
