Hello Wayne,

WC>Here using Doc's Place BBS I note a recent upturn in
WC>the fidonews echo after it went virtually dead for a couple of weeks.

WC>Has that moderator - sysop relented and lifted the feed cut or did you
WC>relink?

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!"
- The Wizard of Oz

"Every sysop is encouraged to make this echo available to
any user, that's interested in reading and writing in it."
- Bjorn Felten, Moderator of the Fidonews echo

"The Fidonews editor ... is the permanent moderator of this echo."
- Bjorn Felten, Editor of the Fidonews newsletter, and the Permanent
Moderator of the Fidonews echo

In regards to the fidonews echo, any "moderator" other than
Bjorn Felten should be ignored as they are nothing but pretenders
to the throne.

WC>Don't worry as I won't post to that echo from your BBS, nor
WC>any others suggested to me by someone.

It is up to each individual sysop whether to carry, or not to carry,
the fidonews echo on his/her system.  The same goes for any other echo,
not just the fidonews echo.

There are many BBSes throughout the world which carry the fidonews
echo.  BBS listings can easily be found by doing a search on the
web.  Most of those BBSes allow participants to read and write in
that echo, paying no heed any pretender(s) to the throne.

If you are having a problem reading and writing in the fidonews
echo from docsplace, use a different BBS.  Problem solved.

WC>Fidonet is dying quite fast enough without my enabling
WC>someone to speed its demise.

Then get some fresh blood, inviting others to join in.

WC>There are still a number of quality individuals posting in an ever
WC>diminishing number of echos.

With fresh blood, and new echoes, that could change.

--Lee
