Hello Bj”rn,

 MvdV>> it totally rejects an article

 BF>    It does not! That's simply not true.

Hmmm... Not so long ago you referred to the file distributed in the file echo
as the "final authority", The article was missing in the file...

 BF>    Every submitted article is included as the original file in the

 BF> No matter if it violated the archaic MAKENEWS rules or not.

The article was rejected for inclusion in the file and the echo.

OK, OK, I will make the following correction:

It totally rejects an article from the version in the file distribution ands
the version as published in the echo.

Happy now?

 BF> fidonews.org echo, but also in order to facilitate other projects like

Note that I also added that the error was mine amnd that I had taken steps to
prevent it from happening again.

 BF>    Alas, this is what I got for trying to assist in making the
 BF> Fidonews available in various different forms...

No, this is what you get for acting like an asshole that has to turn everything
into a pissing contest.  Next time make sure you have your back turned into the
wind.


Cheers, Michiel
