That was an interesting conspiracy theory, and I have another one.

One renowned net.kook, bitter about not winning election to the TFN
Board, mumbles totally unsupported allegations about election fraud
perpetrated through multiple accounts. This same defender of cyber-
rights and freedoms demands verifying thousands of memberships,
deleting accounts retroactively unless positive ID is brought forward.

This Allisat character is the invisible power behind the current
Board, except for 1 member (myself). A review of the election results
shows most of Allisat's friends on his slate won, except Allisat
himself. Whereas I have never met the other 14 Board members until
after the election. 

TFCN was started by Allisat. TFCN members has taken over the TFN 
Board. Having served its purpose, TFCN has been ordered destroyed.
Allisat will now use TFN to take over the Mega City and then the
world.
