I sent the sysop of The Bare Bones BBS a couple of messages about
FidoNet etiquette/his board and recieved no response... Going thru
him may not be so easy.

I don't know if this board has the above file echo, but I did do a 
search before I posted to this message echo -- no dice.

Whatever the simplest means of getting the text file from point A
to point B will be fine.  It seems unecessary to incur any long
distance charges if the internet is hooked up to your node and (I
assume) this node.

If there isn't an automated/formal procedure to follow to request
that the file be posted here, then I could try sending an email to
the local sysop and see if I get a response.  I think that there 
is a grand total of 20-30 users on this board and however swell
it is for us, it would be entirely understandable if dealing 
with chores was not high on the operator's list of priorities.

Anyway, if there is a convenient way for me to get that file w/o
a bunch of hassle for anyone, then fine -- if not, fine.

Thanks,

Lionel
