 JK> The weekly edition of Fidonews is distributed through the file
 JK> area FIDONEWS, and is published as echomail in the echo FIDONEWS.

Janis Kracht, along with Ross Cassell and Bob Seaborn, have sought
to "hijack" the official FIDONEWS newsletter and echo, including
the filename, in order to continue their own (mostly secret) agenda.

 JK> The dog-with-diskette was originally rendered

Tom Jennings has NEVER granted Janis Kracht permission to publish
the ASCII rendition of the dog-with-diskette.

Plagiarism is a bit more than mere "disagreement".

Definite plagiarism by Janis Kracht.

 JK> Published with MakeNews2 by Janis Kracht

The above is not a publication of the FidoNet community,
but rather by a plagiarist who has been expelled from the
FidoNet community in due accord with P4.

Anybody can set up a BBS and pretend to be a member of the FidoNet
community, thus losing respect of all members of that very same FidoNet
community.

Anybody can declare themselves to be a zone coordinator, thus losing
respect of all members of that very same FidoNet community.

Anybody can declare themselves to be international coordinator, thus
losing respect of all members of that very same FidoNet community.

Anybody can self-publish their own version of the FidoNews newsletter,
thus losing respect of all members of that very same FidoNet community.

Anybody can self-declare themselves as being temporary editor, or
even editor, of the FidoNews newsletter, thus losing respect of all
members of that very same FidoNet community.

However, that game of pretend is only suitable for those who have
no integrity.  But then, individuals who have no integrity do not care.

Shades of Benito Mussolini.
Shades of Adolf Hitler.
Shades of Josef Stalin.
Shades of Chairman Mao.
Shades of Saddam Hussein.
Shades of Moammar Gadhaffi.
Shades of Hosni Mubarak.
Shades of Bashir Assad.
The list goes on...
