I read somewhere where we lost another 300 nodes or so in the past couple of 
weeks.  :-(
I think Fido will last longer than you think, but I think it will dwindle in 
size down to where it was perhaps when I joined in '86.  Only the diehard 
hobbiests will continue on the tradition.  But if echomail completely dies 
off, Fido will most likely follow soon after.
