Nabil, you need to show exactly where you think Colin
has said any such thing. I know for a fact that he has
publicly remarked in great detail about the consequences
of this crisis.

Careful, please...

Um, you have gotten the two Colin's confused.
The person you are describing is in fact Colin McGregor.
The modem site has an access list provided by the TFN -
I am informed that Mr. Williams' name is not on it, nor
has it ever been on, from anyone's memory.
I seem to recall that Colin McGregor used public transit
from the Queensway/Brown's Line area to get to the modem
site in the Eglinton/Caledonia area, after his workday &
therefore during rush hour. The 3 hour figure thus may
not be an exaggeration.
|With the exception of making trouble, what were your contribution to the
|last board efforts and to TFN?
You are _way_ out of line here. You clearly have no idea
what you are talking about - if you know so little that
you think such a question is warranted, why don't you
recognise that fact & take the trouble to become adequately
informed? We need fact & figures, not insults & imprecations -
there is a lot of information available from many sources
about the history of the TFN, in public forums, in TFN menus,
from the experience of people who were there to know what
has & has not happened. No doubt past events will look
different from vaying perspectives, but the reality upon
which such views are based is not changed by that.
Attacking people in any case does no good: it just
makes noise which interferes with our ability to
discover what is possible & what is not. We cannot
afford to have the luxury of infighting - in fact you
have said similar things yourself, so I feel you have
by such means given permission to people to remind you
of this necessity...
