Young != Nonprofessional. I'm 13; should I be banned from the net? Since when does Fidonet have a "large number of young and nonprofessional posters" on it? Sure, there aren't as many university students (because Usenet is more common on univ >ersity machines than Fidonet), but that doesn't mean that they are any more or less professional than you are. Yes. Anybody that uses lines longer than 80 characters should be banned from the net. (insert smiley here. and say hi to T William Wells for me.)
