Thank you for the first respectful response I've seen in over a year... in ANY
echo. :)

By now, I know you are the type to find answers for yourself. I'm one of the
same when it comes to certain things. Fido has just been a major bore for me
lately, that I don't care to indulge myself into doing anything. I've already
upgarded both of my binkd systems, but it would still be nice if those updates
were posted to the echo itself. There's only a few echos in Fidonet left  that
keep me interested, and this has been one of them. :)

Regards,
Nick
