MvdV> You mentioned Michael Gove as an ex Fidonet sysop and candidate to take MvdV> Theresa May's position. I entered "Michael Gove" in Pavel Gulchouck's MvdV> nodelist lookup and found nothing. Then I entered just "Gove" and this MvdV> is the result:

MvdV> So who is it? My guess is the one from Crawley UK. The one from Bristol MvdV> is the same or someone with the same name?
Mike Gove moved from Crawley to Bristol around 1993. Because I operated a midnight line he moved from Net 257 to mine. Then all those jobsworth people who threw their weight around by insisting that each net should cover a discrete geographical area (despite the wishes of the sysops themselves), when Mike moved for his work to Bristol he had to move to John Burden's South-West Net (257). I can't remember now what area Net 444 covered or why he then moved to Net 253 (originally Pete Franchi's net in the Midlands) but it may have been to do with more of the jobsworths' shenanigans.
