   Not just my view. It's the stated policy of Fido.

   But, you see, Fido is not a democracy. More like a satrapy.

   Well, if you have no backbone then you are, by definition, spineless.

   When I was a kid there were few computers in the world - certainly none   
   smaller than the size of the house I lived in.

   My first Commode Door confuser was a PET - as seen in the movie 2001 A Space   
   Odyssey. Then a CBM 4032 followed by an 8032 and then down the slippery slope   
   to a C=64 and on to the A-2000.

   At least you've got an an Amiga - which is more than some of the whiners in   
   here can say with any shred of veracity.
