	That is an interesting question.

	Please explain exactly why you are not admitting to
	being the one attempting "dominance of the newsgroups".
	It's true that I am posting a number of articles -
	but in torfree.general I count 56 recent posts from
	myself, and 76 from you, in the same time period
	(given that even Bob has posted only 47, perhaps
	it's time to chill 8^).


	Also, please explain why you think that expressing
	my opinions publicly could even remotely be taken
	as "conflict of interest" by anyone.


	Your campaign to discredit the TFCN is appalling, all
	the more so because you are trying to blackmail Mr.
	McGregor in order to keep him silent in his own defense
	by making insinuations about the TFCN which you, in
	your alleged niceness, refuse to divulge.  I say
	this is reprehensible behavior that contributes
	_nothing_ towards helping our current problems, but
	instead creates a politics of confrontation which
	helps to ensure that the ensuing TFN board politics
	wil be fraught with tension - tension which you are
	at work creating & nourishing by your suspicion
	and hostility.


	There's an old european saying: "He who looks behind
	the door has stood there once himself" - words for
	the wise, and a caution for the mistrustful...
