Ärende: Your Fidonews Website
=============================
Hello Michiel.

 MV> Hello Jeff!

 MV> On Sunday December 17 2006 12:37, you wrote to me:

 JS>>>> The Fidonews.org site is back up now but the current Fidonews
 JS>>>> on that website being mentioned is from January 2003. And links
 JS>>>> to the "Current" Fidonews also direct one to a January 2003
 JS>>>> release of the Fidonews. I may not like it but I can somewhat
 JS>>>> understand that website not being current since the current
 JS>>>> editor has stated that he no longer cares.

 MV> FYI, the current FidoNews editor never stated that he no longer cares.
 MV> What he stated was that he has given up on attempts to moderate the
 MV> Fidonews echo.

 MV> Giving up <> not caring any more.

     Giving up BECAUSE of not caring anymore.

 MV> FidoNews echo <> FidoNews megazine.

     Bjorn is the link here. He is responsible for both.

 MV>>> Here you erroneously assume that the FidoNews editor is in any
 MV>>> way responsible for fidonews.org. Not so. Fidonews.org is owned
 MV>>> by Jim Barchuk. Only Jim Barchuk can update that website.

 JS>> No assumption made Michiel. I know who manages the Fidonews.org
 JS>> domain.

 MV> If you knew that, why did you link that webiste to some alleged
 MV> statement of the FidoNews editor?

 JS>>  In fact, where did I even mention or refer to Felten as being
 JS>> responsible??

 MV> You made a link from the website to the current editor. Thereby
 MV> suggesting cause and effect and thereby suggesting  responsibility.

     Although Jim controls the domain both Jim and Bjorn are listed
as contacts on the website. There was no specification made on the
webpage that Bjorn had no control or input regarding it's contents.

 JS>>   I merely stated that I could somewhat understand. Looks like
 JS>> your going to have to work on putting words in people's mouths
 JS>> there Michiel.

 MV> I went by your own words. Apparently I erroneusly concluded that you
 MV> were unaware that the current editor has nothing to do with that
 MV> website.


     Looks like we both made the same error.

 MV> But if you were aware, why did you even mention him in
 MV> relation to that website? You wrote you could understand why that
 MV> website was no longer maintained *since* the current editor, etc, etc.
 MV> If you feel BF is not responsible for that, why did you write that
 MV> sentence containing the "since"? To me that sounds like you put at
 MV> least some of the blame on BF.


     Maybe a short statement on the website would have helped. The same
could be said for Shannon's Fidonews website or any related website that
I might ever put up. A little info can often times avoid erroneous
conclusions.

 MV> Or were you just picking up another rock to throw?

     Only as much as you were to throw one back.

 MV> Cheers, Michiel
