      TID: FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523       RFC-X-No-Archive: Yes       TZUTC: 0100       CHRS: CP850 2       PID: GED+LNX 1.1.5-b20240306       MSGID: 2:280/464 67b9a7d6       REPLY: 1:153/757.21@fidonet 1da1ce28       Hi August,              On 2025-02-21 18:52:00, you wrote to me:               WvV>> I get:               WvV>> Location: Royal Canadian Legion - Branch 181 Location is accessible        WvV>> Address: 16 STATION ST, BANCROFT ON K0L 1C0               WvV>> If I use your book stores address. ;-)               AA> The voter's list is based on home address.

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). ;-)               AA> Back on topic.. I'm surprised that there aren't many/any Brave        AA> users on Linux. I thought the built in privacy and ad-blocking        AA> would be a nobrainer for the linux elite.              "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.              --- FMail-lnx64 2.3.2.4-B20240523        * Origin: FMail development HQ (2:280/464)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 124/5016 128/187 129/305 153/757 7715 154/30       SEEN-BY: 154/110 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/110 114 275       SEEN-BY: 229/300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 705 240/1120 280/464       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/66 234 396/45 423/120 460/58 256 1124 5858 633/280 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 902/26 2320/105 5015/46 5020/400 8912 5054/30 5075/35       SEEN-BY: 5080/102       PATH: 280/464 460/58 229/426           |
