Well, since its OUR network, fido can go pound salt.
On the fido bases, of course we comply, but on our network, we dont.
And you should see some of the msgs we get in cross-posted from other 
networks, theres two and three lists of footers added as they cross the 
nets...
Glad theyre not important, other than as a seen-by flag. Of course, theres 
people who couldnt route their way out of a paper bag, and Ive got my OWN 
msgs back 4 months later....hmmm....
