[OSList] Certification?

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Chris,
I did not certify you to award certificates such as the certificate No. 
1. You will get my certification to do such things only after you 
transferred the 5000 Euro I decided people like you have to pay to me, 
please see my earlier mail in this.
In case you dont oblige I uncertify you in all the roles you are 
impersonating: facilitator, trainer, etc. In addition I will certify you 
as un-confused and utterly useful. You will see where that gets you to.
