 DR> If you cannot live within this network then yes get the hell out of

It's statements like this that make me feel thankful that I am no longer a part
of your distribution system.

1)  Michael's Othernet seems to be doing quite well.

2)  Your sentiment doesn't exactly look like a welcome mat, does it?

Dale, this attitude sucks canal water!  There are PVT nodes in 3613 who have
shown much more interest since they became nodes than they did as users when I
had a BBS.

Why, prithee, are you taking the stance opposing just about everyone else in
Fidonet, and discouraging the addition of new nodes?  On second thought, don't
bother to answer, I don't think I could stand another of yur posts in this
vein..


 DR> How long have you been around FidoNet? In the prime time of our
 DR> network users were not that interested in actually joining the
 DR> network. What makes you think that things are any different today?

My Gawd.....
