===============
When I realized that Ward was not in my configs for Fidonews, I fixed
that oversight and for only interest of being thorough, I manually
tossed the badmail area to flush the products of this oversight out of
the badmail...

I would expect such consternation during the days of dial up and cost
recovery programs!

When I realized Ward wasnt connected, I posted here and APOLOGIZED...

When I realized dump occured, I again, posted here and apologized..

I cannot do anything more, if you want to continue to express your
childish "butt hurt" over this, then get yourself some butt paste!!

I cannot remember when and how Wards link here got severed, I also had
switched machines and setups a couple times, once because of a failing
hdd, the other to go back under linux for the mailhub.

Those of you wishing to chase the grand conspiracy around, sure go for
it, be assured, I hear they are bringing back the X-Files..

In the summer 2011, a poor decision was made to handle a situation
that is still continuing to this day, whereas an individual is using
Fidonet, and the FIDONEWS echo as his personal platform to display his
angst over the US Govt and its politics because he says it affects him
over in his utopia? This individual feels that the miniscule amount of
US citizens that partake in Fidonet, constitutes a world audience,
sufficient enought to enable change. The problem here is that its ad
naseum, he seems to have to take a dig, even if such dig is not
germane to the conversation.. Think of it as tourrettes syndrome?

I think I can speak for the NAB here and say that we did handle that
badly and that an apology is warranted, but I think that no apology is
warranted for objecting to his personal hangups that he seems to think
Fidonet is the SOLE platform for.

There are Internet Newsgroups and other avenues in Social media that
can be utilized to reach a wider if not more appropriate audience if
the goal he has is to effect change, for no one in Fidonet inside the
USA will march on Washington DC on his behalf. IT is more likely that
this individual merely uses this to take his digs at US based sysops.

You are now free to rewrite history as you see it.
