There won't be any more flame wars on O&S.  Everybody left.  O&S is singular 
among Who lists in that the Fang Gang will 1) threaten listers with harm and 
2) actually follow through on threats to force people off the list.  Long 
time lister Mr. Harry Gambill left last fall after Fang contacted his 
employer and reported him for posting on company time.  I think there was 
something of an exodus after that.

Well, okay.  Fang does this on alt.music.who, as well.  A couple of years 
back he (or one of his buddies) faked a post that tied one of the posters 
there to a pedophile group.  Inspection of the return path eventually showed 
it was a fake, but the targeted poster suffered quite a bit of abuse in the 
meantime.

I believe some of the IGTC listers can report being physically stalked by 
the Fang Gang in years past.

These things are not funny.
