Hmmmm.   On our end here in Wisc, I'll see replys to threads that I've 
never seen the first, let alone the 4th article that is being replied to.
At first, I thought it was lakesys and the small capacity.   But my
understanding is this is occuring at the UW.

On the subject of FIDOnet.... Major political problems in that network.
People wanting to play God cutting off nodes w/o notice, bombing runs,
(a bombing run is when one re-mails out the same packet.), etc.

With every node on FIDOnet, the volume grows.   FIDOnet is beging to fall
apart...

The originator of this post is correct, UseNet is a VERY good alternative
information source.   I'd hate to see it go.     I've fired off letters to
my rep. (as if it will do any good) supporting Sen. Gore's network proposal.
(Being shell-fish {crab-y  :-) } I want to see better net.traffic.)
When I get the $$$ ahead, I'm planning on getting myself one of them thar   
satalite thingies to get my newsfeed from 0:00-6:00

Go nuts!

"I can't C with my AI closed"                 is your problem, not mine!
              If it was said on UseNet, it must be true.
