Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!

Udo,
            I have no idea why you want to be
so nasty and use vulgar language and
bad mouth me but I can assure you it
is inappropriate on this list. I have a 
right to my opinions as long as I don't
force them on others,so , I would 
appreciate it if you would just back off.
At one time, years ago, when I started
using Arachne, the mouse driver did
use memory that I needed to run
Arachne. Please don't call me a liar!
And it your going to continue this
tyraid you know where you can shove 
your mouse.
