Hello Björn!

No one expected you to do it all by yourself, you spent 0 time trying to get
others to contribute content.

To hear Michiel speak, " its about time the editorship came to z2 .. " that
being said with z2's population, getting content contributions should have been
a piece of cake..

The editorship as you and he see it, is nothing but just a trophy..

With tachyon based mind control rays no less.

But you used this echo to further your agenda, or is there a logical
explaination why we heard the endless references (digs) about:

canned laughter

US military industrial complex

Alphabet soup entertainment groups

US lifespans vs swedens.

Kyoto

to name a few???

If you had no agenda based on hatred of the US, why no gripes about other
societies, like those in Africa that practiced, piracy, slavery and genocide?

 RW>> articles on IPV6, and the one before that? Whereas we have in the
 RW>> Troika version; what's wrong with this or that on the internet!

 BF>    Are you seriously asking what's wrong with stealing other people's

More ignorance of things because its not donr that way in Sweden...

Many people share their recipes because they want to...

This line goes against your credo anyway, that people have no rights to their
works...

If I was taught Swedish (or whatever your language is called) from a book, I
could nitpick you until you turned blue in the face..

If I could take you many years into the past, within your nations borders, the
Swedes then would nitpick your Swedish until you turned blue in the face.

If all you have is to play the spelling police, then you have no arguments and
information worth the time of day.
