Thanks. This is the only sensible answer I got.              The various terms of the fidonet hobby are scattered in many places. I think       most of us have become complacent and content to just google something when we       need to look something up, and then "figure it out". "FTSC" in a google search       would give many places to look.              For me, the most logical place to look for info like that would be:               http://fidonet.org               ..BUT, the site doesn't have a Search option.                     An "official" place to read more about FTSC would be here:               http://ftsc.org/              From a User's point of view, there is no standard and complete document of       terms. We have to rely on what you might find offered by your Sysop on the BBS       you are using.              Don't feel bad. ;)              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: nntp://rbb.fidonet.fi - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/360)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 18/200 19/10 90/1 103/705 154/10 203/0 221/0 1       SEEN-BY: 221/6 360 227/114 229/200 354 426 1014 240/5832 249/206 307       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 5555 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 633/280 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/360 1 280/464 229/426           |
