Ward,

Writing a history book about previous editors to avoid answering the hard
questios?

Why should we start a new publication when we have one right in front of
us??  All YOU have to do is get on board to help fix it, and that starts
with a new editor who doesn't have an "anti-zonal" agenda.

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.
