I cannot speak regards that issue, as I have never thought myself capable of
actually writing an article.  I did give permission and hoped that both
versions of Fidonews would publish what I wrote shortly after this started.
Sadly I did not see it in this publication, and I doubt it ended up in the
other one.

Agree with you there.  The amount of traffic is not the point,  They type of
traffic certainly is an issue or was at least.  The fight has simply moved to
FN_Sysop, but I notice that some of the offenders have quieted down
considerably <G>.

That is always a good idea.

While I am not a US citizen, or resident, there were two points I had issues
with.  One, his constant digs at your country, which of course was immediately
recipricated by the other side, and two, his belittling of Bob Bashe.

But, what can they do about it, and, who is still around, other then Janis and
Ward.
