Greetings Ed!   
      
      
    EV> I contacted Tom, here is his reply:   
    EV> *Quote*   
      
   I saw it in the other echo...nice work.   
      
    >> So I came to the Source to ask, Did You ever have a FIDO BBS?   
      
    EV> Nope.  Never on Fido, always GT.   
      
    EV> There were a couple of Fido/GT bridge nodes.   
    EV> Those nodes had both nodelists to operate and I would guess   
    EV> that most of them made the nodelists available on both sides.   
    EV> That might be where he saw The Volunteer BBS.   
    EV> It is also possible that there may have been a BBS somewhere on Fido   
    EV> with a similar name, although I never heard of one.   
      
    >> AND, Did any of the files You had on THE Volunteer BBS get passed on   
    >> to Janis's <> running The Volunteer BBS?   
      
    EV> Not that I know of.   
    EV> *UnQuote*   
    EV> -snip-   
      
    EV>>> After Mike got a job that took him away from my area I started   
    EV>>> using   
      
    RW>>> Minneapolis?   
      
    EV>> Nope, Frankfort, Kentucky - where his Capitol City Online BBS is.   
      
    RW>> I've been on a BBS in that area of the midwest with a HAM radio   
    RW>> orientation to it. I believe it also had a REACT section to it   
    RW>> as well.   
      
    EV> Which BBS was that?   
    EV> If it was after 2003 it wasn't Toms BBS.   
      
    EV> *Quote*   
    EV> When I finally gave up in 2003, The Volunteer BBS was one of only   
    EV> a handful of boards left in the state. It was 'the oldest   
    EV> continuously operating BBS in the Louisville area' for quite a while   
    EV> before I finally took the board down.   
      
    EV> But, back to the point, quite a few people downloaded some or all the   
    EV> files over the years but I don't know of anyone who made them   
    EV> available anywhere else. Someone may have, but I don't recall anyone   
    EV> ever saying anything about it. *UnQuote*
