Hi Ewan,

 > ET>where can I get this news now?

I wonder too because I had this echo until Jan. 18 2003 when I
unsubscribed it in favor of AUTOMOBILE_RACING.

Now I tried to subscribe to it again but my hosts ALLFIX+ informed
me that it was "unknown".

However, it's still listed on the march list of unlinked echoes
available to me.
Just sent a mail to the host's sysop querying the Allfix reply.

ET>Hey there is nothing wrong with what you did as the message bases on
ET>fido are not a tool for someone to advertise there business but for
ET>users to share complete stores or have a good conversation. 

Actually, I don't mind some advertising of the URL for the "full story"
of very long messages but I would like to have a little more than a
couple of lines before the URL-message.

ET>I miss the true bbs days that the net killed.

Me too.

ET>Go into news groups and their is so much junk in there.

I read some reports of the junk there so I never went there.

ET>We should have go together and made our bbs programs HTML complient
ET>and it would have been big still the only program that I know that
ET>you can user a browser to logon to a bbs is Wildcat Winserver but it
ET>cost way to much for hobby sysops to run.

There were actually a few of them already while Windows 3.1 was king
(at least 4) but I have never trusted Windows to keep going unattended.

ET>Oh well. Glad to see fido is still hanging in there.

Yeah, still running 2 nodes here but traffic is low.

CU L8ER,

Holger
