How could you, being a Fidonet n00b like yourself?

And that the "Euro-boys" make up the vast majority of nodes they could win any vote put to the popular vote. Maybe us "smaller" zones (Z1,3 and so on) should shut up...

well, admittedly, back in the day, there were quite a few Z1
folks that stuck their noses into other zone's business on a
fairly regular basis... in some ways, karma is returning...
unfortunately it is being cast upon folks who weren't involved or
even around back then... things are a whole lot calmer these days
than they were...

ACK. I know, and was just poking a little fun. At least one of
them (Euro-boys) seems to have gotten a little butt-hurt. <SHRUG>

My last sentence there was sarcasm, old-timer. Right over your

business.

FYI, I'm not a complete n00b, was in Fidonet for several years
back in the 90's. You can look it up if you want to verify.

Lastly..... Go pound salt!

Hello Dan,

[..]

That does not count either. You wanted to do volunteer work, so
paymant does not matter. If you can not handle critics, something is
wrong in your head.

ever hear the term "go pound salt"?

I love that saying! Note to self - use it more often. Would make

We have plenty of salt in Louisiana. But sometimes the salt
domes collapse when poked by an oil company drilling for oil.
A few years ago, such an event emptied an entire lake, with
two fishermen getting stuck on the bottom of the lake after
the water ran out.

Systems without connect info should not be listed in a phone book,
the same as secret phonenumbers are not listed by the phone company.
The NodeList is for connecting info, not for heroes of the past.

why are you being a dick, henri? don't be a dick... they're ugly
and always getting people into trouble...

Very true all around.

Women love my dick. They call it the most "beautiful thing in the
world" - knowing I aim to please.

go sail your boat and tend to business in your net and zone, eh?

Great suggestion!

FidoNet is a community of sysops (and others) from around the world,
not separate individuals each on his/her own island having nothing to
share with others.

Isn't it funny how the Euro-boys, who claim to hate everything/anything about the USA, sure like to get involved
in how we do things?

How the USA does things affects many peoples around the world.
Not always in a good way.

Haven't been able to figure out why yet... :-)

if you stick your dick in a bear trap, don't you expect that trap to snap shut on it?

My last sentence there was sarcasm, old-timer. Right over your

Certain Zone 1 Sysops such as my ZC1 predecessor and key members
of the NAB distribution model, at one time have been "all up" in
other zone's business. Honestly I believe that is the real reason
for some of the anti-USA rants that end up getting started here.

Yes, I agree, and that is what I was referring to there above.

Now that those certain individuals are gone, dead or largely
ignored, there is a relative amount of calm after the storm.

"My country is better than yours" type of conversations usually
end up going into pointless insults. Comparisons to Hitler, Trump
sucks, Europe sucks, you suck, yes but you suck more, I know you
are but what am I, type of nonsense.

Agreed again.

Nobody wins in the end... just my two cents.

Absolutely right. I ignore most of the stupidity, but sometimes
can't resist poking them a little. Several are on my "ignore"
list already.

My Dog's Bigger Than Yours
~ Tom Paxton

My dog's bigger than your dog,
My dog's bigger than yours,
My dog's bigger
And he chases mailmen,
My dog's bigger than yours.

My dog's better than your dog,
My dog's better than yours,
His name is King,
And he had puppies,
My dog's better than yours.

My dad's tougher than your dad,
My dad's tougher than yours,
My dad's tougher
And he yells louder and
My dad's tougher than yours.

My dad's louder than your dad,
My dad's louder than yours,
Momma buys a new dress,
Daddy makes noises,
My dad's louder than yours.

Our car's faster than your car,
Our car's faster than yours,
It has a louder horn,
It bumps other cars,
Our car's faster than yours.

Our car's older than your car,
Our car's older than yours,
It stops running and
Daddy kicks the fenders,
Our car's older than yours.

My Mom's older than your Mom,
My Mom's older than yours,
She takes smelly baths
She hides the gray hairs
My Mom's older than yours.

My Mom's funnier than your Mom,
My Mom's funnier than yours,
Her hair is pretty and
It changes colors,
My Mom's funnier than yours.

Hello David,

frequent women who can accommodate a horse?

What a huge cavity those women must have. At least 30" deep,
and 6" wide. Which makes their claim preposterous.

However, I have given this more thought.

The size of a gorilla's dick is much smaller than most men's dicks.
In order for Fay Wray to have gotten any real enjoyment from her mate,
she would have needed to find a gorilla the size of King Kong.

Which means, in order for a man to be "hung like a horse" he would
have to be a massive giant. I think Jack once met a giant of that
size after he climbed a beanstalk.

And Dale has been a respected contributor for years, I'd like more
people like him in the nodelist.

So "Nodelisted Sysop" should be used as an honorary title, and the nodelist should not be used for contact info then?

So you say. But three days ago you wrote:

What is the point of running a BBS if you do not accept incoming calls? Why do I (again) get the impression that you are not telling the full story?

I'll send a netmail to my NC and mention that the XX should be removed
and baud rate changed to 300.

The MO flag makes no sense either if you do run a BBS but accept no incoming calls.

QWK offline mail bundles transferred via email to each user... to get an account, you send him the particulars needed and he sets it up... then you do QWK mail from there adding/removing areas, reading/writing messages, etc all using email transfers... you get a blahblah.qwk in your email, save it to disk, fire you your QWK reader... any replies are put into a blahblah.rep bundle which you then email back where it is processed by and imported into the BBS message areas... from there, normal FTN ops take over and he polls his link(s) to send/receive FTN mail...

Thanks for your kind answers,
I hope more sysops and *C's will update their NodeList info.

I agree that there are plenty of changes which could/should be
made.

It's a much better attitude then what I received from Ward and
Nick.

Well, I see that you're not a *C of any kind. Can we assume that
you'll be running for a position at the next election(s)?
