   AI> > DS' claim that Janis appointed him as successor.   
       
   AI> Janis made no publicly appointed successor that I saw.   
       
   Correct.   
       
   It was only after I suggested Jan.6th, that is 7 days after Janis disconnected   
   "everything" (I think she only kept a cellphone), to nuke the echo that the   
   circus started.   
       
   Sean Dennis was never appointed.   
       
   Just like T.J.Barlow collecting nodenumbers and hats, Sean collects moderator   
   titles.   
       
   AI> I have never thought of the gazette being anything more than an   
   AI> alternative fidonet newsletter.   
       
   It was started because people not belonging to Z2, Z3, Z4, Z5 nor Z6 disliked   
   Bjorn Felten...   
       
   AI> Janis was always very nice to me. We didn't speak often but when we did   
   AI> we always had easy conversations and she was always willing to help when   
   AI> she could.   
       
   She was also the main instigator of the Fidonews debacle aided by Ross Cassel   
   and Bob Seaborn. Surprisingly this ended when the one whose name we cannot   
   mention broke ranks ... et voila ... the Fidogazette.   
       
   Janis could indeed be helpful. I met her in person in June 2003 when I went to   
   a deceased friend's daughter's wedding in Connecticut ... that was 2 days   
   after the one whose name we're not allowed to mention tried to turn me in for   
   narcotics transport at JFK-airport. Amazingly she skipped the "How was the   
   flight?" portion and within 30 seconds was involved in ex-communications,   
   dropping people from the nodelist, policy complaints ... that stuff while I   
   was interested to know how she was doing as a person.   
       
   Janis also was the one who claimed to have secret conversations with the then   
   ZC6 Bin Li. If you called him by modem there was always a Chinese kind of   
   voice picking-up the modem line and, I guess, yelling Chinese insults. When   
   you tried the voice-line he always said "No Inglies, No Inglies" but Janis   
   came around with perfectly structured statements supposedly by him in the   
   purest Oxford English.   
       
   She was very very political ...   
       
   Have you ever met her in person?   
       
   AI> Personally, I have no problem if Sean continues the gazette if that is   
   AI> what he wants to do.   
       
   Sean historically is known for not finishing what he starts. He wanted to be   
   in the FTSC, the question was raised, he claimed "I have changed" and nothing   
   happened ... no change .   
       
   So what's going to happen is he is going to produce 2-3 Fidogazette issues   
   with crossposts and rehash stuff and then drop it. He hasn't got the stuff to   
   perpetuate it. That's all.   
       
   Onward to my next Covid PCR test.
