History thing ...

Subject: History Thing, '94 Pin ... :^)
Well, I Never !! Hummpphh !!
It has come to my attention, that in my absence, the List was rewritting
history, and dragging me through it !
Point of the First Point....
When the list was saying...
Geeee... wouldn't it be nice to have a pin, there was a shortage of volunteers
to actually do it ! Typical 'Mericans, they can talk the talk.... so, figurin'
that was going to get us nowhere, I volunteered :^)
Which got the 'Mericans.. walking the walk.... :^)
I already had many orders on my hard drive, which were passed over, and I
continued as the 'clearing house' to help collect final numbers for the order.
Point of the Second Point....
That I complained in a manner, most unseemly , that in typical fashion the
'94 pin and WORLD map was centred on the little piece of water called the
Atlantic, and thus did not show New Zealand... well, maybe :^) But what cuts
to the quick, hurts most, is that... I was never producer of any of these...
pins.... and thus could not prove that I was NOT going to centre MY *world*
map at 178 deg E. :^)
Point of the Third Point...
We were a kinder, gentler list then, immune from the corrupt influences.
There were, a few trades of flies between members on UMAB. Correct me if
wrong, but ... When we were sucking it to get some fool, ahh ummp.. dedicated
FF@ advocate, to be Listmeister.... :^) I started the " Flies for Danny "
campaign , an 'appreciative' token , which.... was the first mass movement
of flies on FF@.
Okay, I'll accept the introduction of nespotic corruption and 'Merican bashing
onto FF@, but I was only following orders on the pins !!
Cheers... CB
