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.       --         ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.57        * Origin: Mobile?
