Fidonet itself isn't even in the 21st century. The ONLY thing that comes
remotely close is NNTP, using an up-to-date newsreader that indeed does support
most charsets of today. Granted, those up-to-date newsreaders still have to
deal with the shitty 20th century (ie: jamnntpd) Fidonet technology that breaks
most things 21st century. As much as you don't want to hear it, Synchronet is
by far the most supportive of things "21st century", yet you bash it every
chance you get.

 MV> Using abandonned crippleware drives people away.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard yet. People come back to see if
the abandoned crippleware can still be setup and used. MUCH moreso than the
people being driven away. At this point there's a couple "othernets" that have
had more quality activity than Fidonet in recent years. I'll let you take as
many guesses as you want as to why they enjoy those othernets better than
Fidonet. :|

Regards,
Nick
