Hello Ward,

 WD> People come and people go, people get born and people die. So be it for
 WD> Fidonet-sysops.

You said it.  Nobody gets outta this place alive.

 WD> We lost quite some names this year ... Bob Bashe ... Roger Nelson ... both
 WD> were good friends.

And Bob.  Can't forget about Bob.  He was here for like, forever.
And now he is gone.  Bob Ackley, RIP.

There are others who went silently into the night.  Some were sysops,
others who were participants but not sysops, and also lurkers who never
bothered to post a thing.  So let us not forget a soul.  They were
here, even if never noticed.

 WD> But this Christmas was special ...

Christmas is always special.

 WD> no Roger Nelson and his standard message of which everybody says "Oh no,
 WD> it's that time of the year again..." ... but anno 2019 it doesn't come.

Christmas came and went and nobody noticed?  That can't be!

 WD> So here it is anyway in hopes y'all become aware there's more about
Fidonet
 WD> than meets the eye ...

 WD> From: Roger Nelson
 WD>   To: All

 WD> On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

 WD> Twelve Drummers Drumming

Oh no, it's that time of the year again ...
