    Starting to get a little frustrated with the Telegram integration.   
    Fidonet's always been about communication, and one of the things I   
    appreciate about it is the long-form capability of Fido echoes - most   
    BBSes and offline readers support paragraphs and formatting, unlike   
    Facebook or Twitter.   
      
    Posting links to jpegs with no accompanying text loses something in   
    the translation once it gets back to the BBSes it originates from.   
      
    When I see a message in a Fido echo with no content save for an image   
    URL, I'm reminded that just because something can be done, that it   
    doesn't follow that it should be done.   
      
    Or, maybe I'm just old-school.   
      
      
      
   ... Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.
