Over the past couple of years, when you used Docsplace more, I would email
you, as in INTERNET EMAIL, to let you know about the false dupes I was
seeing coming from his system, most of them being from you due to your
posting habits.. (posting in bunches)

The subject of dupes came up in the echoes whereas you proceeded to argue
with me that you and I never chatted in email on the subject.. It wasnt
until I had to EXPLICITLY specify INTERNET EMAIL did you concede that we
did have a conversation.

You apparently are thick headed and require everyone to draw you a picture.

Here is how Ed and many others access Fidonet via NNTP..



A is a standard Fidonet Message base, administered by a standard fidonet tosser.


B. is the jamnntpd server that Ed and others connect to to exchange messages.


B reads A and makes the conversion back and forth between the Fidomessage
base format and the news reader format.
