Hi Joacim,

 In a message dated 07 Jun 16 you wrote to Allen Prunty :

 JM> 1. Do we need a moderator? 

Currently I donīt think so.
The last moderator in this area I knew of was Asha Develder.

 JM> 2. If (1)=yes, why?  Are there any Fidonet rules stipulating that every

No, you can go without a moderator if you like. However, when thereīs lot
of traffic and discussion goes heavily off-topic, a moderator can help to
bring the discussion back in line of the general topic.

So, maybe we don`t need a moderator, but on the other hand, it could help
to already have one and donīt start the process of electing a moderator
when problem is already here.

I joined Fidonet again after 17 years of inactivity. The reason why I was
forced to shutdown my box was the y2k bug in GMS-Mailer on 2000-1-1 and me
being far away, not being able to investigate (and switch over to TrapDoor)
locally.

However, although all my Amigas are still running fine, and AmiBinkD most
of its time is performing well with some glitches, I decided to better run
my new node on my colocated server, mostly for reasons of reducing my
electricity bill.

Currently, my A3000 is giving me headache, because I donīt know why neither
the internal nor the external bus is working. Termination should be fine,
diode D800 delivers +5V on pin 25 of external SCSI connector as well...
However the SCSI bus of the WarpEngine is working...
