That's fine with me. I just made a suggestion for the eventuality that
Shannon either doesn't want you on his board or when he gets tired of FIDO
altogether.

He's entitled to an opinion just like anyone else, but for him to see one
side of a situation and comment on it as if it was the whole story makes
him look foolish.

I only started reading (even though I was subscribed to it all along) the
nonsense Klahn was posting in ALL-POLITICS. I started replying to Vern and
then got kicked out when Klahn changed the rules so that we had to post to
him if we dared to mention his hilarious antics. That fine, I can live with
that. I have unsubscribed from both of Klahn's echoes so if he
"replies" to anything I post outside his echoes, he is breaking
his own rules.
