Hey August!

 AA> there are many more plentiful people who can manage English.

These days I have my doubts.  Given so-called smart devices, most people these days can only handle emojii's or whatever the kids are calling them now.  Speaking of which, aren't they unicode?

 AA> Fidonet messaging has simply not reached that user-base.

No doubt.  However my plan is to stick with it for as long as I can still type.  My keyboards have always gotten the most usage and I plan to keep it that way.  How about you?

Life is good,
Maurice
