ATML Re[2]: [at-l] What do you want?

[Slyatpct@aol.com (Slyatpct@aol.com)]

Weary,

I'm surprised you posted this (below) to WF's list first, since the thread, 
Rick's post and resignation were to this list.  Although, I see WF wasn't 
surprised and "minding his own business", you must have confused the listers 
on the ATML.

Not that I have the best net manners, but cross posting to should be kept to 
original ideas on matters of mutual importance and serious trail issues (if 
at all), not list squabbles.  

Something from the ATC conference would have been nice to share with either 
list.  

Sly
