The only thing gained from this, is that a bunch of people here have shown
their excessively annoying behavior again, in that they have made such a big
case of this, and insisting on pursuing it till their agenda was met. They are
indeed taking Fidonet down, in the name of their high morals? Hope they are
proud now.

To our fellow Z1'ers in the US:

On this day of celebration, don't let me ruin your day, but let me remind you
of a few events from your own pond the last couple of days. Things that really
need your urgent attention and intervention. It may require a bit more though,
then playing with your keyboard in the safe ralms of your home, snitching to
DNS providers.

When are you going to look into the much more serious problems in your own
pond?

Ironic isn't it that "Neo Nazism" suddenly yesterday showed up in your own
doorsteps to show it's true colours. Especially since so many of you here have
tried to stir up such things also?

It's also a sign of a sick society when dozens of lawyers, the court systems
both locally and federally, the whole Congress, the whole Nation and even the
President have to be mobilized in ordr to decide between life and death in a
purely medical matter. I wonder if they would be able to muster such a force in
order to save a 5 year old hurt Iraqi girl?

So guys of high morals, now that you have managed to rid your clean and
beautiful country of Bjorns really nasty web links, you must be releaved that
such a threat is now gone and you can move on. We, the rest of the world are
really looking forward to the day you are going to muster all your forces into
somthing really important!

Congratulations on your big achievement. Your contribution have indeed not
helped in lowering the hatred to everything US here in Europe. You must all be
so proud!

Good luck, and have a nice easter.
