  • Fidonet, never change

    This is my first post to Fidonet in 30 years.

    Some things never change.

    Z1C is still a wacko, but I like him anyway.

    Fidonews still sucks, but nobody does anything to make it better. Somehow, it still sucks even when it only contains automated posts. I don't blame Bjorn. I haven't learned how to make umlauts yet, we didn't have those in my day.

    Can you believe those characters over on fSXNet re-discovered Universal Mayhem? I spent most of 1990 playing it.

    I suppose it's time to setup a system and play along again. 1:129/146 is still available. I'll try not to take over the TEEN echo this time.

    No comment! ;)

    It is what everybody makes of it...

    Yes!

    I don't think it still exists. ;-)

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Greg,

    Z2C is still a wacko, but I like him anyway.

    Please be specific ... just a mere whacko or something better? 8-)
