Yes, it was.  As I explained to you, it is common for someone to be called by
their surname here.

Aren't you contradicting yourself just a little?

 MvdV>> What is the problem that goes with your solution?

 RN> The straightforward answer to that lies within you.

 MvdV> You speak in riddles...

At times.  (-:  I just would like to see you figure this one out by yourself. 
If it doesn't occur to you in a timely fashion, I'll be glad to supply the
answer.

 MvdV>>> We are at war.

 MvdV>> Very. I consider the hijacking of Fidonews by Janis & co as an

 RN> Your blame is misguided.

 MvdV> That is what instigators of wars always say...

 MvdV>> To end it would be up to the ones whose started it:  The

Au contraire!  I think it was Bjorn who hijacked Fidonews and no one in Z2
objected publicly.  If you need an example, then recall what I said about the
rule change he made in FN_SYSOP without a vote of the SysOps.  That pretty much
guaranteed he wouldn't get any kind of support from the Z1 SysOps in any way,
not the least of which is article contributions.

 MvdV> I always keep an open mind, but what makes you think you are in a

That scenario would depend on a lot of factors.  First of all, how far would
you be willing to go to end this?  Halfway?  Would you be able to convince
others that this would be okay with them?
