While I'm just a small fry amonst the big names of Fidonet, I must say that
I was very surprised to see this in the Fido Gazette. While I'm no friend of
Trump, politics is a well known source of contention, especially so close to
the primaries and upcoming election with a national almost split down the
middle. There may be other, better platforms within the Fidonet network
where this sort of thing should be shared.

Given that February is Black History Month and Feb 5th was the birthday of
one of the greatest baseball players ever, Hank Arron, why not a quote from
him?

"Too bad integration didn't come sooner, because there were so many
ballplayers that could have made the major leagues. That's why, you look
back, and - not to take away anything from Babe Ruth or some of those other
guys - they didn't play against the greatest ballplayers in the world."
