In principle, nowhere on NewsGroups did indicate that I was writing in FIDO. 
I saw the group #politics in the list and subscribed to it. On all Usenet 
networks, no one has ever complained about my operating system and client. 
Yes, many BBSs support external programs. And I can write here from any BBS, 
basically. The question is different. Why would you allow BBS to use your 
network if you know perfectly well that BBS are not only vulnerabilities, 
but also support NewsGroups clients. If you want to comply with standards, 
disable any software that does not support these standards. If you can't 
implement it, then you don't have any standards. Therefore, I have to 
express my respect to you. And leave FIDONet which is designated as 
#polititcs in my list, which is nowhere designated as such for me. Good luck 
and prosperity under communism for all commi.
