I was just repeating what I hear.  If we're looking for people to connect some 
thought has to be put into how these people connect.  It's rather difficult, to 
say the least, to convince people to be running questionable or outdated 
software just for Fido.  It seems to me it would be more productive to take 
advantage of what they do use and then make it work for Fido because most 
people won't be bothered.

You'd think someone between here and wherever would have caught this.

And that's the way this cookie crumbles,
Maurice
