 Actually this is a recurring situation. The last time was about 12
 months ago when the participants at the time ran into local FidoGod
 trouble and decided to push off into their own net. We had nodes in
 Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane, New Zealand, and California. I begged them
 to keep it in FidoNet and just start new echos, but the local problems
 required an OtherNet. MIDASnet was born. After 6 months the usual
 problems of attracting new echo participants occurred and the net was
 shelved.

 My involvement was in establishing a File Distribution Network for
 MIDASnet (I'm still amassing files).

 The point of all this is - don't despair, we are here but many of us
 run our own businesses and therefore our participation is sporadic. I
 lurke and read your mail.

 It's not a bad show - although he tend to wonder between big and small
 business focus and the focus on "Anything to do with your hip pocket"
 is a bit of a catch-all. Still I listen when I can.

 I wish he'd try to organise some petitions or something to let canberra
 know about some of the stupid things he and we complain about - like
 the ludicrous interpretations on FBT
