Greetings Ed!


 EV> I contacted Tom, here is his reply:
 EV> *Quote*

I saw it in the other echo...nice work.

 >> So I came to the Source to ask, Did You ever have a FIDO BBS?

 EV> Nope.  Never on Fido, always GT.

 EV> There were a couple of Fido/GT bridge nodes.
 EV> Those nodes had both nodelists to operate and I would guess
 EV> that most of them made the nodelists available on both sides.
 EV> That might be where he saw The Volunteer BBS.
 EV> It is also possible that there may have been a BBS somewhere on Fido
 EV> with a similar name, although I never heard of one.

 >> AND, Did any of the files You had on THE Volunteer BBS get passed on
 >> to Janis's <> running The Volunteer BBS?

 EV> Not that I know of.

 EV>>> After Mike got a job that took him away from my area I started
 EV>>> using

 RW>>> Minneapolis?

 EV>> Nope, Frankfort, Kentucky - where his Capitol City Online BBS is.

 RW>> I've been on a BBS in that area of the midwest with a HAM radio
 RW>> orientation to it. I believe it also had a REACT section to it
 RW>> as well.

 EV> Which BBS was that?
 EV> If it was after 2003 it wasn't Toms BBS.

 EV> When I finally gave up in 2003, The Volunteer BBS was one of only
 EV> a handful of boards left in the state. It was 'the oldest
 EV> continuously operating BBS in the Louisville area' for quite a while
 EV> before I finally took the board down.

 EV> But, back to the point, quite a few people downloaded some or all the
 EV> files over the years but I don't know of anyone who made them
 EV> available anywhere else. Someone may have, but I don't recall anyone
 EV> ever saying anything about it. *UnQuote*
