    But OK, if Lee is what it all boils down to, I still don't see why those othe rnets can't have their echoes distributed the regular FidoWeb way. Private echoe s are still respected AFAIK, so why?

    Because they want nothing to do with Fidonet, but of all this bullshit bickering and flaming. I thought it was pretty obvious, but then again you
    will probably cry Fake News (yes, it's actually two words).

    Yeah, well, I don't see Lee the way you do, that's for sure. And I think even told you why in a netmail some time ago.

    Yup... No matter how much it disgusts your fellow nodelisted Sysops, its all about giving freedom of speech and if we don't like it, "Hit the Next Key".

    You seem to have a lot in common with my ZC1 predecessor as I believe she said the same about Roy Witt. Both of you get your kicks from enabling trolls. EOT.

    But OK, if Lee is what it all boils down to, I still don't see why thos othernets can't have their echoes distributed the regular FidoWeb way. Priv echoes are still respected AFAIK, so why?

    Othernets do not care jack-shit about Fido distribution methods. EOT.

    As someone who runs an othernet I couldn't agree more.

    nonstop stupid constant shit in Fidonews from a certain troll
    character who is not even nodelisted. Thats example #1 and why you do not see this negative effect is astounding. But its his free speech, right?

    Yeah, well, I don't see Lee the way you do, that's for sure. And I think I even told you why in a netmail some time ago.

    But OK, if Lee is what it all boils down to, I still don't see why those othernets can't have their echoes distributed the regular FidoWeb way. Private echoes are still respected AFAIK, so why?

    Personally I stay shy of any such coteries, and has been doing so for more than 30 years now. Works for me, YMMV.

    You really did nothing to convince me. Repeating something over and over again does not make it true...

    Hello, Bj�rn Felten.

    FidoNet is not a sysop's network, it's a BBS network. It says
    so in the very first actual sentence of P4.

    Fidonet is the result of the efforts of all the sysops that offers their time, skills, money and wills to give a service to all the users, a service that brings and shares ideas and concepts.
    You're right saying that fidonet is a BBS network but IMHO you're wrong saying that it isn't a sysops network, because without sysops there aren't BBSs. ;)

    Fidonet is, or at least used to be, for the BBS users not the
    sysops. Maybe that's what putting some people off? They only got
    to the sysop's echoes and never got to the core of FidoNet?

    Good point! But you are a Sysop and you have to grant a good service to your users, moreover to all the fidonet users, so how can you grant a good service allowing everyone to do everything he want to do.
    I already said, freedom without rules is anarchy and anarchy brings to nothing else than chaos. :(

    Obviously with my best respect for you and your idea of freedom. :)

    But I guess almost nobody remembers, or even cares about, the
    users any more?

    The opposite, Bjorn, the opposite, rules are written with the respect of the freedom of everyone in mind. ;

    Take care. :)
