The only irony I see is that your lot claim that policy doesn't even exist,
yet you jump up and scream everytime anyone mentions anything about it.

Quite ironic that you feel so compelled to comment on something you say
doesn't exist, huh?

Oh, really? Dale is deciding for the end sysops what their systems should
and shouldn't be putting into this network's echomail, when policy clearly 
states the onus is solely on the sysops themselves for what enters Fidonet.

New irony angle: Weren't your lot the ones who claimed to be so concerned
about individual sysop's rights? If so, you ought to be rallying around me,
as Dale is very much acting like "big brother" with the individual sysop's
echomail.

Oops... there's that one wee problem; you all like Dale so much that you'll
forget about your principles in order to support him, whereby you all hate my
guts just because I say things you don't like to hear, that you won't
support me in something that's close to your stated "philosophy".

But then again, I hear that one of your net's members is having trouble
getting ERN sevices because of political and personal differences. How
important is the individual sysop's rights to you again?

DH> do with anything Dale has done, but seems to be quite relvant to the Foxy

I never once claimed it was proven to be an accident. I merely stated that
the possibility *exists* that it could have been an accident; while at the
same time, recognizing that the possibility that it could, in fact, have been
a malicious act, also exists.

But you and your buddies are the ones that have problems recognizing what
exists and what does not exist.
