Hello Tom - 

CA>>>  FIDO users make FIDO, not the sysops. 

Hypothetical ON:

I can setup free forum software to dupe all of the niceties
of FIDO and if users preferred to use that Fidonet would be a
big ZERO the next day.

Hypothetical OFF:

GM>> I think I'll take my chances here with Fidonet. Usually
GM>> (but not always) a better class of people and some people
GM>> with more class than what one finds in a free-for-all
GM>> forum. 

GM>> Enjoy yourself and if you should get lonely, you can
GM>> always come back here. 

TW> I can heartly agree with that. 

I do not agree. 

TW> I find the Newsgroups a wasteland of the Lowest Common
TW> Deminiator 

I think you read the wrong newsgroups? 

TW> and lots of "E" mail lists not much better. 

Elists have been a disappointment for me but they are formed by
little cliques and cliguishness (like FIDO sysops) never has
appealed to me.
