   Hi August,   
      
   On 2025-02-21 18:52:00, you wrote to me:

   That's how it works here too. But I didn't use you bookstores address to find   
   your voting location. I just used it as an example because your bookstore has   
   an easy to find postal code (and it isn't a private address). ;-)

   "linux elite" ?   
      
   So maybe there aren't any of those in Fidonet, whatever that might mean? ;-)   
      
   As for me 'Brave' isn't even on my radar. Which probably means I'm not an   
   "linux elite" either. ;-)   
      
   I think most users, linux or other, elite or not, just stick to the more well   
   known software. That makes your 'live' a little bit more easier, because   
   others probably have already found and fixed possible problems.   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
