   Yep, it's quite good and easy to access and subscribe to newsgroups and   
   echoes, and there's a great variety of it too. And, the other day I told my   
   fidonet boss about the issues (some echoes were set to read-only) and he had   
   it fixed, so that hopefully I can now correspond via my regular fidonet link.

   It was just a matter of habit for me, because actually news readers are   
   similarly easy to use. I deliberately chose a text-mode one, for some reason I   
   avoid using GUI readers/editors for corresponding in fidonet. :-)

   Well, I was using a different name at that time. Now I just decided to "start   
   over" with an updated state of mind, if you like. BTW is it okay to use "hang   
   around" without seeming a bit too "informal", or should I have said "stay"? :-)
