	Tony, let me refresh your memory. Fewer than two years ago, on your web 
site (www.CMSwatch.com), you disparaged open source (OS) CMS's, saying 
that they were _all_ inferior as compared to proprietary CMS's and that 
no one should consider using a OS CMS. Now, I see that you are asking 
for help from those who use and develop OS CMS's. You are asking for 
help from those people whose work you have disparaged! I am amazed that 
someone who disparages OS software would have the effrontery to ask for 
help from the OS community. Your effrontery amazes me.

	I sincerely hope that no one on this list will give you any help 
whatsoever. Get your damned ass back to CMSwatch and that mailing list 
for the mentally retarded, [email protected] The participants on 
that mailing list _love_ proprietary software, just as you do, and for 
the same reason: you and they are morons.

	Please, folks, do NOT help Tony Byrne. He is an enemy of the OS 
community and a damned bastard.

Sincerely,
Paul Bain
