>BM>conversatio here.  :)

CS>Dovenet has definately got a few problems.  What i find amuzing is so many d

CS>ausing all the Dovenet problems I think.  As a long time Fidnet and recent
CS>Dovenet, I have a different perspective than the 'long term dovenet' (heck,
CS>it's been around a whopping 5 years now?) folks.  The software is very nice
CS>indeed.  If we can get the #{at}!$#!% out of the sysop support an discussion
CS>areas, it will be better.

Only a small handful of Dovenet participants have caused problems (if
one can call it that), the vast majority of folks being thoughtful and
intelligent.  The problem children are normally ignored, as the adult
participants have more important things to do or discuss.  ;)

CS>Meantime, enjoy Fido.  Sure, it's smaller than it used to be but it's still
CS>100 times the size of dovenet.

Fido also has its own share of problem children.  But only a handful
in relation to the total number of participants.

CS>If you do not think it bad, I'll recommend some Fido areas of worth.

CS>Coffee Klatch
CS>Chatter
CS>Cooking
CS>Memories
CS>Asian_link
CS>Home_cooking

CS>All decent places, flame free.  Nice folks.

Ah!  The Best of Fido!  :)

CS>I'm sure there are other places
CS>too!  Those are just the ones I know best.

There is a little something for everybody.  As well as the openness
to create something entirely new.  I've even thought of creating a new
echo called "Weird Recipes".  Problem is, I don't think my recipes are
weird at all.  I mean, everybody puts a slice of cheddar cheese in their
cup of morning coffee, being sure to slurp the cheese at the bottom of
the cup when finished drinking the coffee.  Right?
