	mr. ratcliffe.  had you not supported isley's predisposition for 
csmg'ing non regional postings to regional newsgroups (for whatever 
reason-beit inquiries for cheap eats or magnificent hotels), i'd have a 
different concept of your concern.  when you stated bluntly that 
alt.atl.freespeech would never be propogated by your server because it 
was YOURS, i could not help but wonder about those who actually paid for 
the acquisition of that server (yes-i'm certain your name is on the 
invoice, but what of those who actually paid for it through fees.).

	very nice to see frackit.com has removed its "donation" page.  
did it not pay davey?  or was it that the net cops cmsg'd that crap 
despite the size of the "donation".

	i'm very sorry there davey.  i forgot you prefer to use the

tke away your feed if i don't like you) net.inc.

	coming from a net nazi who doesn't like the idea of atlantans 
speaking with torontonians (or probably pennsylvanians), it seems ironic 
that same upper "yonker" should hold forth in newsgroups completely 
outside his geographical neighbourhood.  or is it that you are taking 
advantage of the historical tolerance of torontonians?
	or are you cruising to be crapped on?  c'mon davey.  if you 
respect the regional nature of newsgroups, what the ? are you doing here 
beside pulling your prick?  asshole!
