FIDONEWS has been around for almost as long as the snooze has... it is a
disputed echo because both are claimed by the same person who doesn't
moderate them as they should have been by many other's thoughts... that
person even contributed to a lot of the fighting and arguing that has taken
place in both echos...

no problem... when one doesn't carry certain areas, they can't see what is
happening in the network... if they hear of the situations, many times it
is one-sided and doesn't convey both sides' reasons...

we've been down to the high 40's F... have turned the heat on so that it
won't get much colder inside than 65F or so... old bones, ya know? ;)
