Hello Dictator Allen,

[..]

 AP> And technically you are still the moderator until 12:00am GMT on July 3rd.
 AP> Respectfully it's in our hands until then.  Again, I never have... nor
will
 AP> I ever be an enemy of yours, but

You are an enemy of all who believe in freedom.

 AP> ... I do humbly request that on 12:00am GMT that FN_SYSOP please be
limited
 AP> to access by Fidonet Sysops only at that time.

Your demand(s) will be ignored by me and by others.

 AP> This is only a request it is your choice to honor it, of course.

It is a demand for censorship, which will be ignored by me and
by others.

 AP> I would appreciate it if we return it to it's intended audience.

It's intended audience is the entire Fidonet community - sysops
and non-sysops alike.  Your demand to limit that audience to a very
small group of sysops, most of them in zone 1, is unreasonable, to
say the least.

 AP> And as a fellow sysop I would hope you would continue checking in every
now
 AP> and then.

All poop looks pretty much the same to me.

 AP> I, for one, do apprecaite all you have done and hope that you are doing
ok.

If you really appreciated all of what Björn has done for the Fidonet
community (and others), you would never have stated an intention
to limit read/write access to a chat echo to sysops only.  In fact,
you would have done the opposite, declaring your intention to outlaw
all forms of censorship, starting with opening read/write access to
the chat echo for ALL - sysops and non-sysops alike.

 AP> I know you have been through some real life hardships as of late.

This is how you die.  Have you ever thought about that topic?
What if you knew the answer?  If you could put a quarter in a
machine that could tell (or print out) you the answer, would
you do it?

Cyclops knew the day and the hour of their death.  That was
their curse.  But they learned how to use their curse to their
own advantage.

Humans have an advantage in not knowing the exact moment of
their death.  Except for those who deliberately choose to chuck
it all before their time.  Some of them for good reason.  But
what you think of as "real life hardships" can never be fully
understood by you, as all of our own experiences are unique.

 AP> You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jesus never told anybody who was in her thoughts and prayers.
But she did tell everybody who she was praying to.

 AP> With much appreciation.

Well, The Big Swede does wield a Mighty Hammer.
