   on the one hand, i tend to agree with both sides... i well remember the   
   troubles i went through when i moved to this location and could not get a   
   connection from the raleigh network or anywhere where else... i was finally   
   able to get a connection though the fayetteville net but it was LD just as the   
   raleigh net was... both wanted me to pay for my echos but in-state LD was more   
   expensive than out-of-state so i told them i'd poll at least once a month for   
   routed netmail and i'd pull my echos from whereever i wanted and could get a   
   connection... that was not taken very lightly... this was before planet   
   connect came along... then PC came along and proved my point and years later   
   i'm now the NC of the entire state of north carolina... the mian point being   
   tha ti've seen both sides and back in those days i was even looking for gated   
   fidonet echos on usenet... there were very few and being able to get them   
   didn't do anything to make my system a fidonet node...   
      
   the main thing that strikes me in all of this is that fidonet is and always   
   has been a hobby network for those wanting to experiment with st   
   re-and-forward networking... i really have to wonder, sometimes, if some folks   
   just don't know that or if they may have lost that vision... this especially   
   pertains to some of our Z2 brethern who are in positions of influence and/or   
   control... especially when they go so far as to refuse to see and acknowledge   
   other FTNs and that what fidonet does also affects those other FTNs at the   
   basest level...
