  • Am I being paranoid?

    From WAYNE CHIRNSIDE@1:123/140 to ALL on Thursday, December 29, 2011 15:29:34
    Hi there.

    I'm a resident of Saint Petersburg Florida and feel that I'm the victim
    of a conspiracy by an entity that calls itself fidonews.

    Am I being unduly paranoid?

    I've been led to understand that there are two fidonews entities
    and that one of them is a fraudulent one that is censored and
    filtered for context and content while falsely misrepresenting itself as
    the legitimate entity.

    Should I worry?

    no... it is an internal fidonet management problem... there are two entities calling themselves fidonews... which one you decide is the real one is up to you but one need be aware of all the facts... this means being able to look back over 15+ years of history with each group and the related message area(s)... there are a lot of well known individuals involved on both sides of the fence... each with their own ideas and agendas...

    The overbearing sysop - moderator shan't be troubling your echo any more I should think Bob.

    I wonder if they'll let him keep his access?

    Not up to me.
