FF>Why can't we just have "hubs"? Why deliberately create a lord-serf
FF>type of class difference?

Try and get those that are to agree to be just that... I could care less
but it will not change... Try to get the stars to remove the east, west,
south northern from their self inflated assumed names then you will have
accomplished something.... Geez some think so big of themselves that
they have actually purchased domain names... Let's inflate the ego's a
little more...

I would be happy to be called a simply a hub but to get the others to
agree and to get them to mesh with every hub that exist will
not happen.. Some will want criteria set on who can be a hub and that
criteria will most definitely include themselves for one reason or
another.

But why bother mail is being moved, those in there own circles insure
that the mail moves and will continue to do so. So long as no one
does anything stupid like stuff some seenbys or purposely deny mail..

Unfortunately things have come to a point were people almost demand a
message by message accountability of the traffic. One or two missed
messages invokes a conspiracy and finger pointing and denials of were
the message went...

You have people positioning themselves in such a way that tries to place
collateral damage upon the other as often as they can.. Instead of
keeping the trivial infighting to a private echo dirty laundry is aired
in public forums and the dirty cycle continues...

You have hubs who no longer run BBS systems and have not had a user
login in years... They have nothing better to do than play these
political games. They are not in touch with the sad state of affairs of
Fido they do not know that the majority of messages are not from users
but from sysop to sysop..

I am always open to dialogue but that dialogue should not contain words
like leave, move, change alliance, give this to get that, etc.... I dont
want to hear about assimilation or acquisition I want to hear about open
and true dialogue that is about inclusion not exclusion.. Fat chance
that will happen but stranger things have happened.

Todd...
