Wow. Now I can see why I felt like I was being interrogated by you and Lindahl. Because you two
feel like your announcement systems are available, there is no need for more. When someone does
make it, then they are questioned. It wasn't me who plastered your site's URL and making
comments like "this is already available" all over my posts.

Now I am questioned as to whether this is a vanity project or not. It is not a vanity project,
and I do believe my site is needed, but there is nothing I can say that will persuade you or
Greg. In fact, I do not need to. The fact that you were first to do this community service
doesn't mean you are the only one who cares and anything else that comes later are vanity projects.

Clearly, this feels like as if I have trespassed into "your territory" (as in yours and Greg's).
I am unsure if that was your intention but that certainly how it feels like coming from the both
of you.

No thanks, Brandon. I already have something of my own that I spent days making, and I am not
willing to switch over to a BBS/Forum system. I chose the system that PBEM.Com had on purpose -
it was not an accident.

If you shall get hit by that hypothetical bus, I shall still be here waiting to take up the
slack. The same applies vice versa.
