I'd like to clear my name

I realize this is not brief but I'd appreciate if you read it.  Thanks.
I'm not a bad guy.

  Greetings Euphorians.  I'm the one who sent the message about All
Advantage.  I'd like to apologize for that.  I really only meant to share it
with everyone else.  Yes it's true that my account would grow with referrals,
and the more referrals I have the more money I make from it.  DUH!!  Ralf,
you're a genious!  No kidding.  Personally, I thought nothing was wrong with
that.  I scratch your back by telling you about the service, and you scratch
mine by putting me as the person who referred you.  I figured everyone on the
group considers each other 'buddies' (we all have something in common), and
what's wrong with telling your buddies?  If I was a no one who sent messages
about a porn site then yes, that was spamming.  Anyway, enough with that.
Ralf, if you want to keep bringing that up after I apologized then so be it.
Just prove how immature you are.  I said I was sorry.  I can't change the
past.  What else do you want?
  Then, the ridiculus.  A new person wrote a message asking for help on
storing sequences to a file.  So I told him about a library I wrote.  When I
logged on tonight we all got a message from Gabriel Boehme (who is working on
his own file IO library) saying I "shamelessly promoted my library" and how I
should have recommended the standard get and print routines.  My library
enhances those routines, especially for the storage of multiple routines.
That would defeat the purpose of having it if I didn't recommend it to
someone.  And all I told him was I wrote a library, here's how you find it,
and then I mentioned that it had binary and ASCII routines.  That's it.  Hey
Gabriel, get a life.  I think you see this as some competition between us
two.  I don't work like that.  I don't care who gets the credit, let's get
the job done.  I'm most familiar with my own library, so I recommended it.
If the guy needs help he can ask me, the one who wrote it and knows it best.
  Get this:  A week ago I asked Gabriel if he wanted to work together to make
a very good file IO library.  He turned it down.  No big deal until now.  I
realize he doesn't want to do something unless he gets full credit.  And
he'll even go as low as to make me look bad in order to accomplish that end.
Ridiculus.  Not relevant to programming Gabriel.
  To be honest, I hope someone writes a library that is better than mine!
That's what this list is all about, to help one another.  I just recommended
my library because it gives you functions more advanced than the standard
routines.  I SWEAR GABRIEL, YOU'RE BEING COUNTERPRODUCTIVE BY TRYING TO WORK
AGAINST ME, BUT THAT'S FINE.  WHAT YOU DID TO ME IS SHAMELESS.  YOU ATTACKED
ME WHEN ALL I DID WAS RECOMMEND A LIBRARY THAT I WROTE.  GET A LIFE!  YOUR
JEALOUSY HOLDS YOU BACK!  I DON'T THINK LIKE YOU... I DON'T CARE ABOUT
GETTING CREDIT.  A GUY NEEDS HELP, SO I SUGGEST MY OWN LIBRARY.  BIG DEAL.
  I've figured it out though... Ralf wrote EDOM, he attacked me.  Gabriel is
writing his own, he attacked me.  My guess is that they're working together
(or there is some hidden agenda) and will soon have a pretty good file IO
library out.  I'll be the better man and suggest the following.  Good luck.
If it's better than random.e, then good.  We've made progress.  I don't care
who gets the credit.
  Again, sorry for the spam.  And thanks for your time.  Ralf and Gabriel, if
you reply to this, you're just showing how immature you are.  I was wrong
Ralf, let's get over it.  Hey guys, how about a truce.  Let's put this behind
us.  Otherwise, we'll piss everyone off on the list, make ourselves look like
12 year olds, and not be productive in the programming department.
