Hello Ward!

You would have had a point if it was any other echo not dealing with something
not codified by policy.

While the publication is the only thing policy makes a provision for, its echo
namesake is lent credibility under the same credentials, if not by inference
alone.

I am glad you and others are starting to admit that Felten used the echo to
further his sick agenda, and as we are being reminded, Van Der Spock as well.

Even before the rift, you all bellyached about the alternative created to
counter the dead newsletter Felten puts out, so creating a separate sandbox
wasnt anymore viable as you now suggest.

Contrary to Van Der Spocks and Tubeworms claims, their is no hippocracy going
on either, no one tried beating Felten or Van Der Spock over the head with
lawsuits or legal systems, which as it turns out, we could have.

Just as you once struggled to obtain, hold onto and reclaim the IC title to
remain relevant, Felten regards his title the same way, and I susspect Van Der
Spock does to..

Funny how you have a person that is a RC and the FTSC chairman, who didnt agree
to follow Pee4, how did he get a node number.

The lot of you act like your royals, have to have your titles.

Sir Ward, the savior and sovereign of Fidonet.
