Hello Tim,

 TR>>> He makes them up as he goes. Kracht taught him well. If Kracht `kicks'
 TR>>> unexpectedly, Mark's in the `line of succession'! He could become
 TR>>> `The Big Cheese'!

 AP>>> There would be an election this isn't a monarchy.

 TR>> Not really. You yourself tried to call one, remember? How'd that work

 LL>> out? He's still searching for votes from the first one.

 TR> There weren't any. Not even from himself...for himself!

That's what makes it so funny!  He does not yet realize that
nobody voted for him, not even himself!

 LL>> But so far,
 LL>> he hasn't found any to count.  Perhaps he should call for another
 LL>> election?  Nah.  Probably a waste of time.  I mean, nobody was
 LL>> interested in voting the first time around, so why should any of
 LL>> them be interested in doing so now?

 TR> The RC's and NC's and such got together (in the middle of the night,
 TR> in an echo nobody knows about) and made Janis Zone 1 top dog and
 TR> dictator for life. No need for any more of those silly elections
 TR> every so often. Such a bother anyway, what with the result being a
 TR> foregone conclusion.

Who controls the nodelist.  That is what it is all about.  By
controlling the nodelist, one is able to control all of FidoNet.
However, there is a fly in their soup.  And they have no means
of removing it.

 TR> Janis is `choir mistress' of Zone 1, RC's NC's and sysops of Zone 1 are
her
 TR> `choir castrati'...."...and all nature wears one uniform, silly grin."

They keep marching in the wrong direction.  And their numbers keep
dwindling the longer they march.  We tried to warn them what would
happen.  But none of them wanted to listen.  So the way I look at
it, they get what they deserve.  Which is to say, less and less of
what will soon become a total nothing.

 TR> "While I can control access to Z! through sysops in the node list..."
 TR> ...Janis Kracht

Her control keeps slipping away as fewer and fewer sysops remain
in the nodelist.  What happens when there are no more sysops around,
except herself?  What will she control then?
