   Hey Cem!   
      
   > What is the fastest/user friendliest way to participate in FidoNet   
   > nowadays?   
      
   I am guessing whatever way you posted the above question.   
      
   > Is downloading  QWK packages still the way to go?   
      
   I sure hope not ... QWK sucks ... always has.   
      
   > Any other more practical methods you use?   
      
   Speaking for myself, bash scripts are the most practical method.  I prefer the   
   one that created this fine and honourable response.  I especially like the old   
   english taglines.  The random penguin matrix above the tagline is also a nice   
   touch, as well as makes my msgs far more unique than method(s) that were ever   
   deployed by any nodelisted fidonet sysop anywhere on this planet.   
      
   I am the best.  :-)   
      
   Дуже груви,    
   Maurice
