Hello Darrell.

 DS> Thank you, Dale. Your efforts are appreciated.

And the know-it-all gang is happy to build yet another wall isolating 
themselves from the rest of Fidonet. Oh, yeah; you're all supposed to be in 
favor of free speech, but someone says something you don't like, and suddenly 
you're all for cutting links because you don't like a person's views. Where's 
Stewart Honsberger now, defending Ross because, as he's so often stated, no one 
should get upset about swearing in Fidonet echos? I think even you yourself 
have said the same. Does that standard only apply to yourselves, and you have a 
different standard for those who don't tow the party line?

Censorship by cutting links kinda suits you lot. It's sad that those 
non-political downlinks who depend on Dale Ross to move their mail will have to 
suffer because of his inability to prevent his political views and personal 
likes and dislikes from ruling his mail moving practices; but I guess anything 
can be justified in your zeal to silence the opposition.

You might as well just go ahead and cut the cord, Darrell. Step by step, you're 
gradually making your Region a completely seperate entity from Fidonet.
