      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet f883c797       REPLY: 2:280/5555 61e58447       PID: OpenXP/5.0.51 (Win32)       CHRS: ASCII 1       TZUTC: -0500       Hello Michiel!              ** On Monday 17.01.22 - 15:33, you wrote to me:               M> If Janis did indeed choose Sean as her intended successor        M> and gave him the password, why did she not inform her        M> readers when she announced her departure?              Methinks that you would need to ask Janis. Google revealed her        @gmail address quite readily at a Synchronet-based BBS.              In the last few weeks she announced frustrations in getting a        replacement pc operating. Meanwhile, maybe a completely        different matter (ie. family|health) arose and became a        priority. Give her a break.                      M> There is no need for complexity. It would not be the first        M> time that there was intervention from the e-list keeper to        M> recover a "stranded" listing...              Now it sounds like you would need to ask the elist-keeper. ;)              There is no point expounding on maybees and whatifs. You know        how to contact people directly if you want.                      M> I would not call it foul play if the e-list keeper had marked the        M> listing as "available" when Janis left.              Perhaps ask the elist-keeper what he knows.                      M> Unfortunately the sad reality is that foul play has been a        M> significant factor on many occasions in Fidonet.              No point in dwelling and rehashing the past either. Onward and        upward.       --        ../|ug       --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 14/0 15/0 18/200 30/0 90/1 103/705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 153/7715 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/1 6 360 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 200 307 317 400 424 426 664 700 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 249/206 266/512 280/464 5003 5555 282/464 1038 292/854       SEEN-BY: 301/0 1 101 113 123 812 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 633/280 712/848 920/1 5020/1042 5058/104       PATH: 221/1 301/1 229/426           |
