[pp.int.general] PPNL needs to capitalize on this

[coretx]

Let me refrase then:

We where working on it, before your informational started.
This, with a team of mostly IT people / students. ( i.e incompetent in  
this field of work. )
while the "journalists" had better things to do.
And yes, some of us have the magic known to man as "Common Sense".

If it was not you saying this Rick, i would say STFU, and help instead  
of rant.
The main problem that i see among a lot of parties is people who talk  
a lot.
But don't know what serious work is.

By the way, i did not sleep this night because of not owning a fax.
And the Belgian Pirate Party now has their signed PPI docs faxed  
towards the Bank.
In order words prepare for a "Belgian Pirate Party Officially registerd"
pressrelease!

I'm going to sleep now, if you don't mind.
Thank you!

P.S

I would _LOVE_ to see PPSE helpout cwicket on getting DNS changes done!
Various people are hammering on this for 3 weeks now.
Why cant this happen within 30 minutes ?

Editting one line of data can't possibly be harder than writing a  
pressrelease.
And work is stagnating because of it.

P.P.S

For people who are starting to rant at me  because of my tone towards  
a founder.
Don't waste your time, you have better things to do. And so have I.
