There is *still* talk of this?  Unbeleivable!  I am away from *months* and
nothing has improved.  Sad. Really sad.

JS|>      I would have to agree. For some time the Fidonews has been
JS|> basically stagnent. We as members of Fidonet need to make the Fidonews
JS|> once again a usefull part of Fidonet instead of something to be
JS|> ignored. I have voiced my concerns about the Fidonews and offered my
JS|> suggestions. But it seems that I am from the wrong zone.  But
JS|> that will not stop me from doing what I can to make the Fidonews
JS|> better again. I don't claim to have some great solution that will turn
JS|> things around. But I am willing to work with those that are serious in
JS|> their goal to make things better and not hung up on what country or
JS|> zone I come from. I mention it again as it is frustrating to try to
JS|> talk to people that look at where you come from BEFORE they will
JS|> listen to what you have to say.

It would be nice, Jeff.  However Zonal animosity seems to make it difficult
to create a Snooze without the baggage.
