I knew it!

As soon as I wrote, "...why don't you say something?" I thought,
"Some joker is going to reply, "Something."  A few more
seconds and I decided to leave it like that because it might offer more
incentive to someone to respond, :-)

Anyhow, "Hi!"   And thanks for the reply.

I lost my connection to this echo nearly six months ago and just got things
going again last week.  I had a backlog of nearly 8 megs of messages in the
echoes I try to follow, but Eurlink stayed empty all that time.

Yes, there are faster ways than Fidonet, but newsgroups just don't turn me
on.  I just don't get the feeling of closeness to the person to whom I'm
"talking" that seems to be a part of Fidonet echoes.

You want to trade some more typing or was "Something" enough for you?  :-)
