Are we on a stereoyyping binge now?  I find it hard to believe you are saying
that to me.

I have hundreds of them.

Go echo hunting.  There are hundreds of them.

NONSENSE.

I have accepted Bjorn as the moderator of FidoNews is what I have said... and
him being from Z2 I respect the practices of Z2 in the moderatorship.  I have
accepted that moderation is to be done by Z2 rules and traditions.  I have
-not- accepted that FidoNews is a Z2 echo as a whole, because its not.

IMO that would be like saying FidoNews is a Z2 publication, when it is the
newsletter for the entire FidoNet community.

Sounds to me like your jumping in on the Z1 vs. Z2 bandwagon here... hmmmm.
