Well Dave is not very bright.

:A fan group might contain both messages about a popular individual and
:pictures, sound clips, or videos of that person. As long as posts are
:on topic they are acceptable.

That's the problem--some (cabal in general) need things to be
very tightly compartmentalized in order to understand things.
You can't mix things like this because it will confuse their
sense of order.

He gets confused and angry because the group is no
longer s simple place for him.

::He's not. He's cleaning space eating binaries out of non-binary

Look at what they did with TIAC!!!

:Dick Depew has not announced his pseudo-site and therefore is
:considered to be a rogue canceler.

Anyone who forges anothers email address to cancel their
post is a rogue canceler with the ethics foundation of
a snail.
