Are we rewriting or not?? (Community)
Are we rewriting or not?? // Community
Jul 24, 2001, 7:50pm
Note the distinction: "Facter" is listening to us, not "AWC". Facter is indeed
listening to our every word, and ever agrees with us on a lot of things. But what
good is all that if Facter himself is subsequently ignored by his superiors? *This*
is the problem we're faced with. We need to rework the brand of thinking at AWC from
the top down.

Umm... I'll pretend that made sense and some how had relevance to the thread...
And yes, this is a pointless flame ;P

If you don't pay them, then they will listen.

Unfortunately, I doubt even that would have much effect. After all, for all the
regulars who stop paying for their citzenships, there's plenty of Juno users or some
other suckers to take their place. As far as AWC is concerned, we're expendable.
