On or about: 12-07-07  10:37, Jean Parrot did engage James Bradley
regarding, but not limited to: BW setup.

 JB> proverbial plug?
 JP> 
 JP> This Sean showed up around last Spring if I am right. He
 JP> seemed to be quite gened up in this realm. Got his BBS on-line and
 JP> I got on as a spare backup to Doc's. I did not withold my comments
 JP> and as he said: "it pissed him off". He shut down.

I reminisce about a cardinal rule on a lot of moderators' echo rules. They
would bla-bla-bla about this and that, then, "Above all do not be
annoying, or easily annoyed." Something I try to take to real life. It
doesn't always work out, but I try. 

If a pebble stops Sean from walking, maybe it's best he stay off his feet.
 
 JB> One thing I have found about Fido users, is their convictions are
 JB> strong, and they perhaps lack periphery vision. I don't know if this is
 JB> a good thing, or a bad thing, but it's likely just one of *those*
 JB> things. /-: 
 JP> 
 JP> Maybe so but friendly. The challenge here is to be friendly,
 JP> being narky invites no help. On top of this, it is too easy.

See above. (-;

 JP> How do you connect ? I am on telnet and the world is open to
 JP> my reading. Fast too, on cable.

POTS!  The second BBS left in Calgary only connected me a 9600,
and farted out on file transfers. I was stuck to online editing, so I just
checked up on one echo there.
