There is no sense to keep it going. It should go by itself. And your
talking activity is not that kind of activity that makes things go.
My robot poster writes a couple of messages every day. Does it help ?

 AS>>>> That's why I want to get rid of your destructive influence

 MV> Making me go away will only accelerate the decline of Fidonet.

I think it's your personal affair whether to go away or to stay.
Though, it should not be used as a blackmail.

 MV>>> What is destructive in calling things what they are? Not doing

 AS>> No, your desctuctivity is not in calling, but in a passive

 MV> I am far from passive.

You are. All you do is just writing messages. But to keep things going
you need all the time adjust 'em to today's demands.

Bye, Sinc, Alex
