   Hello Ed Vance!

   I can't prove it, but I think you have popped in here before,     
   years ago.

   Don't worry about it. We tend to remember only what's important     
   to us.

   That is so true. But fidonet echoes are quite public too, even     
   to the casual non-BBS member. Early in the game, echomail was     
   restricted within the bbs community and often sysops would only     
   allow reading an echo if you were a registered user of their     
   BBS. But now, many BBS echo bases are fully viewable and     
   searchable via internet.   
      
   I would have preferred a non-google-scrapable fidonet. But the     
   cat is long out of the bag so to speak.
