I agree with the opinion that Fidonet is worthwhile.  I've been using the
local board for two years, and the local contribution to the main echo
conference I read, (Magick), is very high.  And the chances of losing a
message are about the same as on Usenet (meaning fairly high).  In fact,
I generally have more trouble replying to people on Usenet than Fidonet.

Just sign me....

A satisfied user,
