That's your business.

Not a requirement by ARN. The nature of the newsletter is for everyone who
subscribes to it, may use it as they desire, as long as credit is
maintained as to the publisher.

On what frequency do you ID your station? Oh, sorrry, you don't have an
id.

If they do, they certainly don't need to get it from a Fidonet node, since
it can be subscribed to by anyone that has a need for it. The places where
they would do that are clearly marked for that purpose.

That's right.

Then keep the subject there and not here. This thread is done here. If you
wish to continue, see the rules for such matters.


    Have a day!
