BL> Then, if someone complains about the messages I'm writing, I

BL>  No... all I have to do is not let you know about it. No one can
BL> accuse you of being slack when you asked me for a new password when
BL> the old one was still a virgin. Not even Father O'Malley knew it.
BL>  As I understand it, you sysops are controlled by fido policy, but us
BL> users have no rights, or responsibilites either. I could run an ad in
BL> the SMH publishing my password. What's it got to to with fido - as
BL> long as you don't know I'm doing it?
BL>  For all you know, my real name may be Ebenezer Eisenstein-Smith.
