    JF> If you guys wanna lock horns on some hot topics where the

   The quotation system of forums are so poor and miserable; it makes   
   impossible to have a long deep discussions as people have had in   
   Fidonet. Going to Web forums is degradation for a  discussion. Well,   
   probably such a thing is possible in Usenet if you have a good NNTP client.   
      
   Just look at my answer "Re: Clandestine activity is a holy cow of   
   democracy" from August 6. The text in the message itself is piece of   
   art! ;-)   
      
   Bye, JOHN!
