The quotation system of forums are so poor and miserable; it makes
impossible to have a long deep discussions as people have had in
Fidonet. Going to Web forums is degradation for a  discussion. Well,
probably such a thing is possible in Usenet if you have a good NNTP client.

Just look at my answer "Re: Clandestine activity is a holy cow of
democracy" from August 6. The text in the message itself is piece of
art! ;-)

Bye, JOHN!
