No doubt this will produce howls of derision from the usual nonces who stalk me to whichever Usenet NGs I post, but I'm spending too much time on Usenet to the detriment of many of my project plans, so it is my intention to wish you all, "Au revoir!" until such time as I have completed at least one of my projects; projects that have been sneered at by one very unsavoury foul-mouthed character as Vapourware. Thank-you and goodnight!

Yes, I've always thought that was a particularly cruel trick; he posts his valediction, gets everybody's hopes up, and then reappears within a few days - terrible thing to do to people.

It is an attention seeking ploy. He's had more attention today from that post than he's had for ages. Just ignore him.

So far, unlike Gareth, none of you lot has even attempted to contribute to alt.folklore.computers. So it will be a relief to have you go back to whatever festering nest you came from.
