    From Sean Dennis@1:18/200 to All on Fri Mar 11 18:01:41 2022
    Hello All,

    Discussion about Ukraine and Russia is on-topic here as long as the conversation doesn't deteriorate into name calling and ad hominem attacks.

    I'd say with Ukrainian and Russian sysops fearing for themselves, discussion like that involves Fidonet and therefore is on-topic.

    I am not going to go crazy about off-topic chat as long as it has a Fidonet thread especially if it involves getting out the latest to people who need to know.

    You mean you're not going to spend your entire time relentlessly trash-talking another country like the editor of the other 'zine does?

    Good to know, thanks. I was a little worried that I was straying into a grey area, there.
