Hello Björn.

Well, you're still an unlisted moderator. That's not much of a publication
either, as far as I can tell. According to FidoNews, nothing has happened in
Fidonet for at least a year. (Don't get angry). (-:

That thread was fun. (-:

You didn't understand the reply, however, that Superbowl advertising support
during the Superbowl game costs millions a minute. The fine was in-line with
the National embarrassment caused by Ms. Jackson's "accident".  How many
millions do you think she was paid for that half-time show?  The fine was
commensurate, That whole Jackson family are sleezes.

OTOH, if you or I were to do that on TV, people would look the other way.
They'd rather look at blood and guts.

No one hates the U.S. except some that are extremely jealous over our bountiful
lifestyles. Everyone shouldn't have to keep explaining the U.S. to you.
Especially since we are not in a decision making position that will change
anything. That's not hate speech towards you, I am simply making the same point
that has been made over and over again.

How'd you like to sit on the Peace-keeping Council of the U.N.? Now we can see
why they are unable to get anything done. Maybe we need to be more diplomatic.

Name calling really is a cop-out, except when it's descriptive and absolutely
known to be in jest. (-:

Gee, and last week we were holding an olive branch and discussing 70's rock.
and football, and all sorts of fun stuff. We're in dire need of a moderator.
(-:

However, we don't really need a moderator if you, Shannon, and Mr. Witt would
have your battles in Netmail/Email, so we can go back to sharing the olive
branch.

Peace bro!
