 JP> Hello Nancy, I am trying to catch up to FIDO !

Funny you should say that... I'm still in catch up mode myself... of
course I keep having major interruptions this summer... and just as I
start to get close, I'm away for another week-plus.. and can't work on
packets for even longer...  ;0
 
 NB>> Just wanted to let you know that Steblu finally took notice and got
 NB>> Fido working again on Juxta.  He's also posted a current email address
 NB>> on the board during login for reaching him with any problems...  Looks
 NB>> like maybe it isn't a lost cause after all!  :)

 JP> This is good news. I guess that Steve was busy with life and

 JP> Thanks a mega for trying it.

I've been logging on there right along, and only seeing the inactivity. 
Then, about a month ago, I got a response from Steve to a message I had
left him a whole YEAR ago, saying that Fido had gone kaput on Juxta, and
could he look into it...  Apparently, yes, he was busy with life and
wasn't monitoring or checking in at the BBS.  He said something about it
being his "yearly check-in" to see how things were going...  ;)

I waited a little while before notifying you... first off, things have
been crazy here, and secondly, I wasn't sure that it was going to stay
working...  ;)  Yeah, I know... cynical...  :)   But now that he's
posted a way to contact him off the bbs, things look more optimistic.

 JP> The weather here has been mostly awful, not too much sun and
 JP> too many rain drops. Not one trout !

NO trout!  How terrible...   The water just stays too roiled up for them
to be happy?  We've had weird weather, too.  But not too bad, all told.
