G'day John,

Replying to a message of John Tserkezis to Jeff Green on 25/05/97:

 JG>> Why not put him back, send him a netmail in ZMH and ask him. If there
 JG>> is a failure to connect with him on a minimum number of occasions,
 JG>> boot him out permanently. Otherwise you'll get his answer via
 JG>> netmail anyway. 

 JT>  Why not put him back because that was the original plan anyway?  It
 JT> appears that is too easy for them.

I'm sorry John, but you don't understand the juvenile mind.

If it is too simple, they'll never be able to wrap their puny little minds
around it. That was why I added the "netmail him" part. A little
bit of complication while keeping a lot of simplicity.

 JG>> Que? Does that mean a super-moderator? How the fuck are they going to
 JG>> read all the news? 

 JT>  Not one moderator for all echos, but one "main" one who has the
 JT> ultimate say on what goes.  Presumably they are the ones that pick
 JT> the individual echo moderators in the first place too.

That's fair and democratic! If policy four doesn't even mention moderators,
then moderating the echoes has SFA to do with the fuckwits at the top of
the shit pile.

 JT>  From what was mentioned in the FN_SYSOP echo, they were trying to
 JT> make available all world echos on the Z1 backbone.  So someone in
 JT> southwest mongolia knows which echos are available in downtown
 JT> cabramatta if they want.  If you read between their lines, it was
 JT> also a case of "if Z3 does not comply, we'll stop all international
 JT> echos to your country".

Way to go!! Stalin and Hitler would be proud. Any attempt at that would
just manage to kill fido quicker than the way it's going. The frustration
alone would cause people to pack it in.

 JT>  Oh, I also just received a policy complaint from David More, a real
 JT> one this time, not just a pretend threat like all the others.  This
 JT> one had "formal policy complaint" on the top.  Whoo Hoo!

What's his complaint this time?

 JT>  I also posted a couple of messages in zone3sysop that he may not
 JT> like, mainly because one (a couple actually) proves he is a shifty
 JT> cunt, and the other ridicules him.  For those who have access, look
 JT> for the subject line  "do it yourself policy complaint kit" in
 JT> zone3sysop.  I thought it was rather funny.

Was this before or after his policy complaint?
