Hi mark,

i don't know how you can equate the existence of something with negative and 
the absence of it with positive. And equating dark-positive and 
white=negative has no logical meaning at all.

I think in general people in Fidonet have a far better knowledge of world 
geography and a more cosmic outlook than non-Fido people. Travel is supposed 
to broaden the mind, and I think travel by Fidonet even more so. I'm not sure 
if the same is true of Usenet.

Is CW or counterCW an absolute definition? Which way do your clocks go,
