Dan,
 
DC> Thanks for those numbers, Ward.  Very interesting how much things
DC> have changed.
 
Thank you sir.
 
The interesting thing is ... there is growth. Mot much but I have noticed it in
the entries running BBS\Fidonet-systems.
 
My intention is to run this again in a few months and see where we get. There
still is dead wood ...
 
DC> Not sure what the comment on "realism" means...  I think we all
DC> know that Fidonet is not what it was 25 years ago.
 
"realism" .... good point ... I would say, but I'm going to use the wrong
words, the relative unimportance of what we're doing, the relative unimportance
of the Elflords (including myself) and let's not be too serious about
ourselves.
 
On the other hand, I still learn every week by following some of the technical
platforms hence Fidonet has been a tremendous learning experience that could
not have been offered by the internet.
 
There was a lot of good in Fidonet ... still is.
 
DC> At least it's still around, right?
 
Absolutely ... I love some of the stuff that is being handed around here ...
