How do you imagine that the circus started?

Around the time Janis left Sean announced that he was going to pick up the
gazette, and that is what he is doing.

If for whatever reason you want to nuke the area, go ahead and do that. No one
is compelled to have any areas they don't want.

> Sean Dennis was never appointed.

It doesn't matter if he was appointed or not. If Janis appointed someone then
they would carry on with it. She didn't and Sean picked it up.

I have also collected moderator titles. I am not interested in moderator hats,
I just want the echoes to carry on and be listed in the echolist so that
interested parties can look them up and find info about them.

People liking Bjorn or not is a different thing.

The fidonews debacle and the fido gazette happened at different times
altogether. There is no connection.

You and Janis had ZC to ZC discussions. Those could get political?

No, Janis and I were linked nodes. We discussed things of interest to linked
nodes. Our discussions never became political.

You may be right. All the same I have no problem with Sean picking up the
gazette if that's what he wants to do, and I think that is what he is doing.

I hope all your covid tests will be negative.
