   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.   ;)
