Forwarded this from another area/network, not sure it's true or what.

Maybe only Beeeorn can confirm...

########################################################################### Although I am not sure how, Aaron claims to have confirmed that Lee has
passed. As there are many here who are familiar with him and who might not read the Fido POLITICS echo, here is the info.

This message was from AARON THOMAS to ALL,
originally in conference FI-Politic
-------------------------

I've noticed a lack of posts from Lee Lofaso lately, so I googled his name and I regret to announce that it looks like he's passed away. :(

Let's hope that this is not him, and that it's just some other Lee Lofaso :( --- SBBSecho 3.22-Linux

The name is Bj”rn, but the typical US name-shaming habit is recognised. After all, you elected a master of that art to rule your empire.

But what do you mean? You and your Z1C clown have assured everyone that Lee is just my alter ego.

So, no, I'm still alive and publishing the Fidonews like clockwork every week. Like I have done for more that two decades now. DUH!

As for our Lee, if he has really passed away, I think y'all should be ashamed of the way you have treated him for his entire Fidonet life. Eventually he found a safe haven in one of the few countries that still have true freedom.

Yes, we did! The VAST MAJORITY of Americans voted for him. Yup. But,
you seem to want to believe that it is *MY* fault we did that. <SHRUG>

But what do you mean? You and your Z1C clown have assured everyone
that Lee is just my alter ego.

Right... so I was wondering if you might come out and say: "No! He's
alive and well, just as I am, because he is me!"; thereby confirming
that he's not passed on. Nice job with also taking the opportunistic
cheap shot that was really un-necessary, like you do in every single
post you make.

So, no, I'm still alive and publishing the Fidonews like clockwork every week. Like I have done for more that two decades now. DUH!

Yeah, what a huge burden that must be. Setting up that automated
"Scheduled Task" or cron job to trigger a script to dump out the same
old tired boilerplate text to a message area once a week. It's such a
dynamic and thought-provoking publication!

Nope, not at all. He was a bullshitter and a liar, with a foul mouth.
Not that uncommon in FidoNet, granted, but he was worse than most. He
asked for what he got, and I'm pretty sure that's exactly how he wanted
it.

You may think better of our new President when he stops Vlad from
over-running your little postage-stamp sized chunk of paradise. It
won't be long now. If Kamala the Kommie had won, you'd be learning a
new language next year. Once again, the USA will protect you.

Vast majority?

76,841,634 Trump
74,340,678 Harris

He's below 50% of the popular vote and not expected to achieve a simple majority, let alone a VAT majority, as you put it.

With enough discrepancies to merit a recount. Winning all 7 swing
states? Democratic states voting democratic across the ticket and
voting for Trump?

But what do you mean? You and your Z1C clown have assured everyone
that Lee is just my alter ego.

Some will claim identity theft, that Björn borrowed the personna. I do
recall Lee mentioning Houma before, which is an obscure reference.

I do appreciate a good conspiracy theory.

Well, either way, you win. Either Lee Lofaso died, or Björn has been
making him up and now will be unable to do so. Either way we won't hear
from him again.

Have you submitted an article to Fidonews?

be ashamed of the way you have treated him for his entire Fidonet life. Eventually he found a safe haven in one of the few countries that still have true freedom.

I enjoy Lee's odd stance and wry humor. Hopefully he's alive and well,
or "Flea Flofaso" will appear on Fidonet to take his place.

In the meantime, submit an article or stop complaining about Fidonews.

Yeah, maybe I was subconsciously using the words I recall hearing from
"your side" 4 years ago. Regardless, he won the popular vote by a good
margin (if you ignore the irrelevant write-ins and wasted votes for
folks with zero chance of winning); and the Electoral College by a
LANDSLIDE. However it makes you feel better to spin it..., he won.

With enough discrepancies to merit a recount. Winning all 7 swing
states? Democratic states voting democratic across the ticket and

Oh, no! Are you trying to insinuate something like "cheating" went on?
Where have we heard that before, and "your side" dismissed it out of
hand? LOL there won't be any recounts.

True enough, and that's a good thing. In case you misunderstood it, my reference to a cheap shot was Bjorn using the Z1C name in vain.

I have not. But neither does anyone else.

He was rude and crude, most of the time. An occasional glimpse of
humor, I'll give you that.

In the meantime, submit an article or stop complaining about Fidonews.

I know it's a fine line, but I was NOT complaining about FidoNews. I
was commenting on the effort level put forth by Bjorn to publish it.
Not the same thing, which hopefully you can understand.

In the meantime, fix your badly borked Fidonet network segment, and do
your NC/RC job properly.
