When/why did this happen?


A month ago? It was posted all over various forums, Facebook, etc. I know I personally copied & pasted his letter into one of those long threads about Vampire boards, so it's on here somewhere. ;)

Sadly, this seems to be the case in almost every computer community I've been in.  Some people are never satisfied.


I understand why Jens and others steer clear of most online forums. Nothing but a bunch of people who've never designed a board in their lives wanting to talk smack.

Although to be fair, Jens is one that might deserve a little of it, lol. ;)
