   Hello Michiel van der Vlist!

   I was born in an english speaking country. The foreign language     
   was primilarily only within the home. That's probably a salient     
   difference between you and I.

   First you snub my use of the term plaintiff because this matter     
   is not in court of law, yet you use "burden of proof" where     
   that term is use quite normally in court.  Ah.. have I stumbled     
   into the Court of MvdV?   :/

   Perhaps this exchange belongs in CONSPRCY echo.  :/   
      
   The nature of Fidonet echomail is that echos can be added at     
   will, and participating systems can choose to link up or not. A     
   certain amount of cooperation and understanding is ingrained in     
   the process.   
      
   What difference does it make how a transition took place and     
   handed to another person who is willing to nurture it?   
      
   Besides, Sean was the original creator of the echo (and     
   newsletter) too. It seems appopriate for Sean to carry its     
   torch irregardless what other people fantasize has happend.   
      
   You have the ability to conduct your own investigation too. A     
   simple google search has provided several possibilities to try.
