Cult of Personality Messages on RCSD

As Sir Rien recently posted, there are indeed "Deeter Doters" and
others who have formed the background of the resistance when
rec.collecting.stamps split into .discuss and .marketplace ...

Quite some time has passed since the split.  We lost both rabble and
the knowledgeable, for various reasons I need not repeat here.  I
regret to some extent the loss of some of participants, but some of
the more radical I miss not one iota.

Out of the ashes of the split rose up who you see here and a few
others who have decided to stop posting - but still may be lurking
around.

There are some folks who still keep the Deeter torch lit and well
maintained.  Amongst those, I add our Edmonton psycho and a few others
who perform Los Angeles, South Central "drive bys" to try to get a
rise out of us.

Although these may appear to be common trolls, they are in fact long
term trolls bent on restoring the republic.  Don't take my word for
it, simply Google the war period for yourself.

Some of us, like me - moi - myself have voiced my position in the
nastiest of terms as well.  This was a Civil war, of sorts.  Many who
have posted here are not spotless, but have made this newsgroup what
it is today.  I take no credit for this.

For those of you who have been through the nasty language, the ****ll
votes, and every other newsgroup fiasco / episode / troll, I salute
you.

For those of us that want to keep this newsgroup alive, it has been
and will be a pleasure.  Even if Deeter and his crew mosey on back
here, if they abide what we have going on then they are welcome.

I doubt that will happen, but miracles have been documented before.
