   ..And politics has no precedence in Fidonet. :)

   Obviously still don't fully understand it. Just as well as I'd be willing to   
   bet 95% of any newcomers that join these days either wouldn't care to read it,   
   or wouldn't fully understand it, either. Especially the parts that make no   
   sense anymore due to the general age of the document itself.

   Those are the couple of examples I've seen the most when it comes to cross   
   posting to other echos as well as netmail. Other software might not make it as   
   well known by blatently saying "Crossposted to  by GoldEd", etc.   
      
   I'd be willing to bet my software is capable of it. I've just never looked into   
   it, as this would have been the very first time I would have needed it. Even   
   though Janis moved it to Z1C, people are still replying here. So it's not like   
   it made a big of difference that we did that anyways, except for the fact that   
   now it's being discussed in two echos, rather than one.
