I was around then.  Ironically, some of the most left leaning "guys" that
participate in this echo always had some sort of weird obsession with her.
I say ironic because, despite potentially sharing political views, they
were always very nasty towards her whenever I saw them interact in a public
echo.  I would say sexist, even, which considering their left lean was also
part of the irony.

I never had a problem with her.  She was always nice to me.  She has been back
on the network but, to my knowledge, is not hubbing any more.

I am not real sure what the connection between Janis leaving and Alan
apparently not following the news is, though.  I don't really remember
anyone going berserk other than some folks who had trouble finding a new
feed, or that found out their local/regional hub was on autopilot and their
mail dried up.
