When have I _ever_ "discouraged others from joining events such as the WCCC"???

Once more, as I have often asked in the past, please provide an exact quote or
citation for where I have done so.  I _have_ said that the WCCC is going to dry
up and blow away because they refuse to acknowledge the internet.  But I have
_not_ discouraged anyone from attending/participating.

But I guess everyone has his own right to make things up, even idiots...
