Hello Michiel,

 MvdV>>> I think it is. It stands in the way of progress.

 TR>> Your probably right but that is not what Fidonet is about, it is

 TR>> connecting BBS systems together to transport mail and files using a

 MvdV> "Connecting BBS systems" is how it began. But the world has changed and
so
 MvdV> has Fidonet. Here in this part of the world where - contrary to where
 MvdV> Fidonet was born - local calls were never "free", Fidonet participants
 MvdV> moved to participating as points, rather than users. Users became an
almost
 MvdV> extinct species in the second half of the ninetees. I'd say the last
Dutch
 MvdV> user was spotted in the wild in 1996. With the users went the BBS. Look
at
 MvdV> the MO flags in the nodelist.

Excellent observation.  Why jamnntpd has not taken off for Fidonet
or other social media platforms is unknown.  Maybe because most folks
point and click rather than use their brain.
