he commented in FN_SYSOP about the results before midnight one day (8 Dec 2013
14:39)... then the next day (9 Dec 2013 00:03) they were published in the
snooze and the FIDONEWS echo...

the fact remains that at the time you wrote your decision and sent it to the
snooze editor for publishing, you could easily have crossposted that same
message with those results to the FTSC_PUBLIC echo with little to no work on
your part... especially since the snooze editor wrote a public message in a
public echo about it at 2:39PM... surely you weren't going to bed at that
time... live with it...

 MvdV> It so happens that I have a life outside Fidonet.

yes and yet you still found the time to write up an article to send to the
snooze editor...

 MvdV> This is not a full time paid job with 24/7 availability.

no one ever said it was...

 MvdV> And you certainly are not my boss who can order me around on a

i've never attempted to be such and i certainly have never attempted to order
you or anyone else around in fidonet...

 MvdV> I choose to go to sleep and let Fido wait till next morning. 

yet you still sent an article to the snooze when you could have easily
crossposted it to the FTSC_PUBLIC echo at the very same time... it is a no
brainer after all...
