As I've written before, Sean has other problems that have nothing to do
with fido. You aren't the only one who dealt with him. And if he and Janis
had a set-to, that's too bad but is something that occasionally happens in
fido. I also regret his loss to fido, but there were definitely other
components than a mere dispute with Janis involved.

Anyway, how would leaving fido "protect" anyone from
"abuse" sent via email or ICQ or whatever else you're referring
to?

I know this is one of the reasons you've got a mad on for Janis, just like
she's got a mad on for you because of your one-sided stance on political
developments in the States and your questionable overruling of the Z1 *Cs
on the van der Vlist complaint.

But if the "old" Ward Dossche isn't completely dead yet, you
might start thinking a bit more about fido and a bit less about your own
personal aversions, and come back down to earth again. You'd make more
people than only me happy by doing that.

Cheers, Bob
