Again, she was trying to protect the integrity of the network -- at least 
here in the US where Zone 1 is.  That's why I wrote, "Zone 1"...

You should have been attacking those who purposefully screwed with the news 
article Ward, instead of going after the "1" person who attempted to protect 
the network!

She didn't "EDIT" the Fidonews Ward!  She fixed the file so that she could 
protect the integrity of each BBS here in Zone 1 from being (assuming the 
possibility of the validity of that ridiculous additional copyright) sued by 
Bjorn and Michiel.

The answer to "3" was "NO" she did NOT -- and you damn well know it Ward! 
The rest of those ridiculous questions aren't valid...!

Q. Did BJ and Mikey attempt to monopolize the distribution of Fidonews?
A. Yes

Q. Did they have a larger agenda that might perhaps include the extortion of 
money from Sysops?
A. Possible!

THESE are the questions you should be asking Ward.  YOU Have been protecting 
BJ for far too long... It's time YOU do the right thing and end this 
horrible situation.  Recognize that BJ has attempted to destroy Fidonews and 
call for his resignation.
