Every couple of weeks we get a bunch of blank articles, apparently
from FIDO net sites. A lot of them are apparent forgeries. Who can I
yell at about this? I don't have any idea where to begin, or if this
is even the right newsgroup for such a discussion.

FYI: The duplicate articles from FidoNet nodes are not forgeries. They
is caused by a (now) known bug in newsin that occurs when the disk gets
full. I'm sure that a patch/new version will be available REAL SOON to
fix the problem.
If you have a complaint about a FidoNode, you can mail it to
postmaster@thatnode.fidonet.org. Each node is supposidly independant
from any real authority. If you still have a problem, you can contact
the fidonet hostmaster (me, at this time).
