PE> Guys, there are some changes happening in echomail. I don't

 BL> What's happening?

 PE> Dave's closing down his 800 echos and will thus no longer be a

  What a pity. It was you, was it? No sooner do you start taking mail
from Dave and he closes down.

 BL> I thought that's how FIDO worked. Why are you getting stuff

 PE> If all the sysops only carried what *they* were interested in,

  I really thought that was how it worked... you got the 5 you were
interested in personally, interstate or internationally, and fed them
into the net locally.

 BL> What does that include (besides 4th Reich, Crap Cooking and
 BL> Aust_Cripple_Line_Dancing)?

 PE> NET_DEV, OS2PROG, MSGED_ECHO are the only intl echos I am
 PE> interested in. 

  I assume NET_DEV is net-fetish deviates, OS2PROG is Overseas Prozac
Users, and MSGED_ECHO is Mr Ed Talking Horses? Makes sense.

 BL> I've disconnected everything but AVT.

 PE> You don't have to disconnect from them NOW! Just be willing to

  I spoke too soon. Fucking areafix! I'll keep trying though...

Regards,
Bob
