That IS what she's always said. Guess the parameters change when Boob is 
concerned.

Looks that way.

 LD> Why?  

Because he has his head buried.

 LD> Exactly how old is the last routing chart produced in Region 17?  

ROTFL! Ancient!

 LD> Do you have that much need to control the flow of mail in Western 
 LD> Canada?  

Of course. That's how he gets his kicks. Well that and charging his downlinks 
for their mail.

 LD> That kind of power is corrupting, Bob.  

That's why Cossell wanted in.

 LD> Trying to maintain control and power can lead to breaches of 
 LD> trust, just like happened with Bob Kohl.

Already happened.

What's good for Fidonet may not be good for Booby.

 LD> What makes you think permission is needed in writing to make

 LD> Ratter, or whatever your local newspaper is called, needs Jean

I'm sure he thinks so. LOL!

 LD> But I kind of think that the needed permission was granted by

 LD> to produce an alternate routelist.

Exactly right, although I bet she'll be squawking a different tune now.

 LD> Amazing, isn't it?  Someone took her up on her challenge.  And that
 LD> just makes you livid!  And you even want to block distribution in
 LD> the existing channels. 

Of course. This is the Seabarf and Cossell show now. :-)
