    ak> But where do fidoweb sites take messages?   
      
      The same way every FTN system does.   
      
    ak> can read and post to Fidonet. But it looks like a fidoweb gate e.i. it   
    ak> gets messages as a Fidonet node (using FTN protocol for instance), and   
    ak> then it copies them to the web site, and any Internet user can read it.   
      
      That's a completely different matter, exporting messages from NNTP to HTTP   
   -- usually not the other way around even if that too exists.   
      
    ak> So FTN Fidonet remains the main carrier anyway?   
      
      It's the *only* way our messages are carried around. From one FTN tosser to   
   many others.
