 Starting to get a little frustrated with the Telegram integration.
 Fidonet's always been about communication, and one of the things I
 appreciate about it is the long-form capability of Fido echoes - most
 BBSes and offline readers support paragraphs and formatting, unlike
 Facebook or Twitter.

 Posting links to jpegs with no accompanying text loses something in
 the translation once it gets back to the BBSes it originates from.

 When I see a message in a Fido echo with no content save for an image
 URL, I'm reminded that just because something can be done, that it
 doesn't follow that it should be done.

 Or, maybe I'm just old-school.
