      As you know, Gord was a personal friend of mine, and bjerk has gone way
off course with this.  I'd say bjerk owes all of Fidonet a BIG apology over the
way he treated this tragedy.  Personally, I think we can do without any mention
in Fidonews of Gord's passing - at least as long as the current editor still
holds that position, there's much better ways to honour Gord.
