Hi ####,
I've done some research, we are in fact spamming. It doesn't matter how
it's done or what the postings contain or if it's a good cause or not.
There is opposition already in the NG, even from people that are in 'our
camp'.
I urge you to stop sending those [patch] replies.
Have we lost? No!
Others are contacting ISP's and webhosts where #### is uploading his patch.
I'm working on something different. It is signature based. I'll contact
you soon.
Thanks for the fight anyway. ####.
Seeya soon, Alfred.
