I just wanted to say that I'd entered an item in Agora.
I feel so out of place.

Yeah.
The M-Net Invasion is mostly over, it appears. The only one left being
pointlessly offensive is willard, and quite frankly he's been rather weak
of late. My guess is that he's running out of energy.

Grex wouldn't exist if it weren't for M-Net.

(The M-Net that spawned Grex doesn't exist any more. The current M-Net is
a different organization with different management)

The Grex that spawned also is a different organization with different
management. Are you refuting my statement in #3?

But it's true. Grex *wouldn't* exist if there had been no mnet.

Isn't that a bit like saying that if there had been no Catholic church,
there wouldn't be any Lutherans?

No, it's like saying without Martin Luther, there wouldn't be any Lutherans.
Or without Marcus Watts, there'd be no Well, *snort*

What I mean is that M-Net in that period was owned by a different entity and
had significantly different rules and governance.
Grex is still owned by Cyberspace Communications, with the same charter and
(I think) almost the exact same set of bylaws (there was one changed with
respect to board voting, I think).

Actually, I rather like gull's resp:8 :)
And beyond that, I'd better bite my tongue.

Can we get a chart of comparison for #10?

M-net went through quite a number of different changes during the time I
was on. There's still a sort of historical continuity in m-net, despite
the management and hardware changes that happened. There an odd sort of
pattern even in that - m-net has had other hardware failures in the
past, and I'm sure I don't need to point out the patterns in the
management turnover.

If God hadn't invented Bob Parnes, we'd have had to create him.

So what's the point of #3 anyway? That grexers should bow down to mnet
disciples and anything they say, not be critical, etc.? If a man that turns
into a criminal fathered a son, that may be a fact, but so what?

What #3 says is completely true and completely irrelevant. The M-
Netters you need to thank for Grex's existence are the Remmerses,
Katie, Jan, and the others (I hope I got their names right) who decided
to create Grex. No one, except some asshole "mnetter," would suggest
that you thank willard or twinkie or the others. That would be like
thanking a bunch of incompetent Russian bureaucrats for all the Russian
scientists, writers, musicians, etc., who moved to the US on their
watch. Sorry to sound harsh, but it's the truth.

No, I think Grexers should thank me for generally staying on M-Net ;-)

20: No, no, it's called "making fun of jerryr," not "rampant
paranoia." Get that straight.

Following the trend of most usenet discussions, let's reduce things
to absurdity by invoking World War II Germany and making the analogy of
thanking the WW II German leaders for all of the great Jewish scientists,
artists, and writers that emigrated in the wake of persecution.
