   see in various echoes nowadays is indicative we have an ageing population of   
   sysops & BBS users in North America with very few younger folks coming along   
   to replace them.  While the Russians may have become involved with Fidonet a   
   little later than we did, I suspect most of you will also outlive most of   
   us... [wry grin].   
      
   I think the popularity of FidoNet is decreasing here as well. It was popular   
   when Inernet access was too expensive but now it looks like Internet is even   
   cheaper than Fidonet phone calls. Maybe one day Internet will be blown up and   
   everyone will get back to FidoNet again!   
      
      
   Bye, Anatoliy.
