>> The gist of my post earlier today, was that there won't be any more

>Ha, ha, what a commercial cope out.
>Your getting the swing of marketing,  that's for sure.
>Now that you've gone totally commercial, and full have said in a most polite

>Ha ha ha

>Fine

>>so if you

>How about "not stolen from the DIY_EFI   LIST   EGOR".
>Or "The Original EGOR".
>You took your work off list and went private, where the EGOR while coined by

>Matter of fact your's is actually a not true egor.  Maybe should be " Knock

>>And if you'd payed attention to what

Geez Bruce, I planned on my "passing the baton" post to draw out true
colors, but you really take the cake. Live long and prosper, Dr.
