I opened fidonews.eu in crome and clicked on the anonymous link --- and nothing happened.
That's strange, considering that you are a long time registered user:
dshipp <password withheld> AIST ABIS "Dale Shipp"
Maybe you've missed that the server moved from felten.yi.org to eljaco.se *after* you registered many years ago?
But of course I could have hard-coded e.g. the FIDONEWS echo into the link, but it never occurred to me, that someone with a properly installed newsreader wouldn't know how to bring up the list of available echoes on a server.
My bad. Note to self: Never underestimate the stupidity of the average John Doe.
