   Hello Rob!   
      
    >> Listening to a couple of old guys misremembering what   
    >> Fidonet is and is not can be a bit depressing actually.

    RS> I suppose, but at least it was impactful enough to still   
    RS> be remembered!   
      
   But it was remembered poorly; they spoke of it as in the past     
   tense. Fidonet not might be the bustling network that it used     
   to be, but does Fidonet still need to be referred to in the     
   past tense all the time?  They didn't shed any knowledgable     
   light that a modicum of it still exists and is supported by     
   many BBSes.   
      
    RS> Imagine Joe Rogan talking about FidoNet? A FidoNet mention   
    RS> on a podcast with a huge audience is notable, I think. --   
      
   Anyone discussing Fidonet shouldn't be referring to it in the     
   past tense and should provide the resources to identify     
   operating BBSes, the tools required for either a sysop or a     
   user, etc.
