I unsubscribed from ALL-POLITICS because of Ross' request. I don't think
Klahn's request is legitimate, but I respect Ross and don't want any
problems to arise between him and Klahn on my part.

Klahn is a joke and his ever changing rules in ALL-POLITICS is even more of a joke.

I don't address Klahn's posts for a reason. That reason is that the thread
always ends up with Klahn arguing with himself and then claiming victory
when everyone else gives up on his lunacy.

I doubt John Hull gave Klahn the echo. In fact, I know he didn't. Klahn
grabbed it when he saw that John had failed to update the listing.

Klahn is a dishonest opportunist and has shown in the past that he is
willing to bend and even break rules to get his way. He had been banned
from ALL-POLITICS for breaking the echo rules. It's obvious that his aim
was to retaliate against those of us he blames by making up new rules as he
goes and banning anyone who violates them even before they are official.

FIDO is dying and Klahn is not helping keep it alive.
