-=> Quoting Paul Edwards to John Tserkezis <=-

Hello Paul,

 JT> Yeah, the discussions in zone3sysop are still running rampant, although
 JT> all that is left now is mostly people agreeing that DM was a fascist pig,
 JT> and a few DM die-hards that insist on supporting him.  Mind you, they are
 JT> part of n711, so maybe he told them something we don't know.

 PE> Like what???

 I don't know. ( :-) )  Charles Yendle seems to be a DM die-hard.  He is REALLY
pushing to support Dave even though everyone else has proved he is wrong about
his statements.  And is STILL currently pushing to support david even though
the resignation has already gone through.
 Some others in N711 have commented, but never against DM, most have remained
disturbingly quiet actually.
 
 JT>> As far as I can tell David will remain as either
 JT>> a node, or hub, but I don't know about Kevin's
 JT>> plans.  Voting is underway for a new N711 co-ord,
 
 RS>> Did someone nominate Paul ? |-)
 
 JT> Er, I don't know... :-)

 PE> I got some mail from David More's system (who I still polled
 PE> once/week) just before I left, and he was holding a vote, but you had
 PE> to be in the .094 nodelist to be eligible to vote, and to be
 PE> nominated.  And you needed to get two people to second you if you
 PE> wanted to nominate.  What a lot of fun. 

 Ahh, the "buddy" system.  Seems like he is using P4 to his full advantage.
It says nothing about how to select a NC, and actually says it need not be
formal.

 As of .108, Trev Roydhouse is the N711C,  Kevin Mann is still R54C and
procedures are underway to elect a new RC, an no-one is currently listed as
the FTSC chair.
 The not-amusing-any-more thing though, is comments David Nugent made as to
a statement that he may have had too many twitted to notice what is going on.
This was in regards to his moderator position in zone3 sysop, or rather, lack
of moderation..

 Namely, a comment to whether or not he had key people twitted:

 SN> If my running a twit filter offends you and I continue to hear abuse on
 SN> it, then I'll happily add your name. I certainly won't lose any sleep
 SN> over it.  That's the entire point. Whether you lose sleep over it is not
 SN> my responsibility.

 Apart from him allowing that fiasco, that is STILL going strong in z3sysop,
it took Kevin Mann TWO DAYS to successfully get in contact with David Nugent to
place his resignation.  Ted had posted at least four public messages, and I
think at least three private messages querying some point, of which he still
has received NO reply.

 Fun eh?  We also have a ZC who won't do his job simply because he has everyone
twitted and doesn't know what is going on.

 I've never really agreed with your use of language, but I've just read up on
Hitler in my dusty encyclopedia, and I'll tell you what-  it is all
disturbingly similar.

 ZONE3SYSOP is going to be an even FUNNER place in the next few weeks...

... I have a firm grip on reality. Now I can strangle it.
