Worked like a charm
it confirms what I have already said
no where do see August Abolins in the Empire_Net or in New York State which
is Net 267.

Oh.. my bad. I thought you were originally saying "empire" as a substitute
when referring to FidoNet.
there was no such thing as "the web" until Tim Berners-Lee created the
first web browser...
You may want to read up on how ARPANET worked. It pre-dates the world wide web by decades.
really??? you take this as an opportunity to wave the fidoweb dick in
folks' faces again??? deity, you take the cake!
I'm surprised that you even stoop to bad language
what bad language??
in your contempt
what contempt??
for the network distribution model that's been working perfectly well
ever since ARPANET. The web.

But I never imagined that you should stay quiet when the mob starts
their attack on the JamNNTPd model, considering that you yourself have
been part of the Johan Billing project for many years.
i was part of that project, yes... i've not stayed quiet, either... i have,
however, been busy elsewhere...
I guess you don't give a shit,
really? if i didn't i would have said anything...
but I'm really disappointed.
that's a personal problem, i guess...
You've come a long way since we both were involved with the FrontDoor
project.
WOWOWOWOWOWOW! hahaha... that's too funny... much too funny... you didn't show up in the FD project's beta area until years after i had been invited to join... that was back when i was also a beta tester for RemoteAccess BBS
and FastEcho...
And not in a direction that benefits our network. :(
i don't know what direction you are looking in but it is obviously not in the same direction as myself and many others have been looking and traveling in...

yes, really...
So, what happens when you click on e.g. fidonews.eu?
What if you choose "Check it out anonymously"? Wouldn't that be your
very first choice if you were new to our network?
Where's the catch-22 there?
It seems like almost all of the remaining fidonet sysops, 95% or so,
seem to be what formerly was defined as point-ops, have forgotten that fidonet was originally a BBS-network:
"This document establishes the policy for sysops who are members of
the FidoNet organization of electronic bulletin board systems."
This is the very first sentence in our policy when scaled all the admin inceptions are off. An "Electronic bulletin board system" was, and of course still is, the same as a BBS. If you don't run a BBS, you are not entitled to be nodelisted in the BBS-network of fidonet.
Some of us still take this seriously,
a vast majority don't give a shit. And we can see the result, but the majority prefer to put a blind eye without regarding the negative
impact it has on our network.
With only all the working BBSs nodelisted, and all the other,
glorified point systems connected to those few (50 or so?), it would
be a piece of cake to create a true, complete mesh of fidonet nodes.
completely forget that you know anything at all about fidonet... you
don't have a clue what echomail or netmail is... no idea what a "mailer" or "tosser" are... now try to figure out how to join fidonet...

Not the case here as I am the NC for all of New York. Furthermore I do not
think this has ever been the case within the Empire_Net.
