Not to diminish the importance of Fidonews, but I'm getting real curious
now.  If Fidonews is copywritten by the editor, and the editor picks
his/her replacement, and the sysops don't have any say in who is the
Fidonews Editor, why even have Fidonews mentioned in Policy 4 at all?

What control does Fidonet exercise over the editor to insure that the content
facilitates any of the above?
