So as a "end user" and newbie to Fidonet, let me add my two cents to this total
nonsense.

All you read about are these rules and procedures, yet it took me over 2 months
to track down CURRENT information on Fidonet to try and  join.  Fidonet.org is
a disaster - it is so out of date it is not funny.  It has zero relevance to
anyone.  I tried to use it to join Fido and after 2 months just gave up because
NOONE would respond when I could find a link that even worked.  I netmailed
folks with no respone until the cows came home.  I tried to follow links on
fidonet.org that took me to spam/dead/out of date pages.  It was a complete
joke.

This guy at least tried - and I applaud his efforts. And I say keep it up.
Sitting around just complaining about things is getting nothing done.  If there
was such a big concern about it, then get Fidonet.org updated!  Then you can
come back and have a real conversation about it.

I fail to even comprehend how ANYONE thinks Fidonet is going to grow if all
that is available is out of date information.
