Yeah, maybe I was subconsciously using the words I recall hearing from
"your side" 4 years ago. Regardless, he won the popular vote by a good
margin (if you ignore the irrelevant write-ins and wasted votes for
folks with zero chance of winning); and the Electoral College by a
LANDSLIDE. However it makes you feel better to spin it..., he won.

Oh, no! Are you trying to insinuate something like "cheating" went on?
Where have we heard that before, and "your side" dismissed it out of
hand? LOL there won't be any recounts.

True enough, and that's a good thing. In case you misunderstood it, my
reference to a cheap shot was Bjorn using the Z1C name in vain.

He was rude and crude, most of the time. An occasional glimpse of
humor, I'll give you that.
KW> In the meantime, submit an article or stop complaining about Fidonews.
I know it's a fine line, but I was NOT complaining about FidoNews. I
was commenting on the effort level put forth by Bjorn to publish it.
Not the same thing, which hopefully you can understand.
In the meantime, fix your badly borked Fidonet network segment, and do
your NC/RC job properly.
... Pros are those who do their jobs well, even when they don't feel like it.
