RN> That would be akin to trying to force lurkers to post.

Yes, excatly.  I have no way to force such and am not the type to do so ¨anyways.


RN> Fidonet is becoming more of a demagoguery with each passing day.  Not

I'm not sure of the meaning there.  I do know when I started, the very idea
of ¨conversing with a ZC would have wierded me out.  Now i know better but
also ¨understand why so many of the past ones drifted away.  

It's hard to just 'debate' when you feel the whole net is clinging to your
¨every post as if you had made some sort of 'word from on high' when
actually ¨you were just posting like everyone else.

At least you can be politically incorrect now and again and not get told
'as a ¨ZC you should know better'.  Me?  I'm about to lob durians then
giggle and see ¨who the splatter catches.  Hey, I B Evil sometimes
.

I'm workable with Michiel although we occasionally spit in each others
general ¨direction (sounds of monte python).

I get along well with the rest although there's a Victor fellow in the Z2
area ¨who's irksome.


RN> Well, he has taken up the cross against you in his latest "copyrighted

Nothing new there other than he used fidonews this time.
