   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.   
      
   > She was very very political ...   
      
   You and Janis had ZC to ZC discussions. Those could get political?   
      
   > Have you ever met her in person?   
      
   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.   
      
   > Onward to my next Covid PCR test.   
      
   I hope all your covid tests will be negative.
