Maybe this will clear things up:

(note the ... here. I take that to mean:
"his hard drive and ???others I
have felt wronged by???"
anyone have any other interpretations?)

I didn't think any research needed to be done.
But that's my fault for assuming those that
were curious about why he sent the bomb would
have looked at what Nate had said prior to
the sending of that bomb and found this message.
I also assumed that anyone answering the original
post by bugzee (i believe) would attempt to respect
bugzee by giving him/her a well-researched,
intelligently formed, complete and correct answer.

Well, I guess that clinches it. He was the one who did it, not is friend.
All I did was question Mr. Mitchell on how good of friends they were,
and implied to him that having Nate involved with EuOS could possibly be
dampening the enthusiasm that people felt towards an otherwise neat idea. I
also helped a few people block him out of someones email program, as mine
has been set to delete his emails for some time now...It will remain a
priority to eliminate his emails...especially in light of his intent towards
me.
However, I saw nothing that he programmed that seemed to be of any value
whatsoever, so would not have been likely to be interested in anything he
sent to me.
I guess I feel that I should apologise to anyone on this list who has
suffered at Nate's hands, due to some provocation of mine, even if I had
nothing to do with his stupidity.
I feel very bad to have had such exellent programmers suffer such
losses, and that my comments to or towards Nate were the straw that set him
off. However...
If he had intended it just for me, I am not entirely sure why he didn't
send it directly TO me. I mean, my email return address is in the reply to
field, and my website is listed.
He had it in for the entire Euphoria community, and has no value for
what the other people on this list contribute, and own, or what he has
damaged and taken away.
I wish someone would prosecute him.

A couple of days ago, I took his name off the EuOS site, because firstly
after programs on my computer getting deleted, I din't really want to
work with him, and also because he has no net access (I hope). So
hopefully people who didn't want to join before, might want to join now
that Nate is gone

Well, I guess that clears that up.
Thanks Hawke. (Notice how well it's spelled)
