Fidonet is the result of the efforts of all the sysops that offers their time, 
skills, money and wills to give a service to all the users, a service that 
brings and shares ideas and concepts.
You're right saying that fidonet is a BBS network but IMHO you're wrong saying 
that it isn't a sysops network,  because without sysops there aren't BBSs. ;)

Good point! But you are a Sysop and you have to grant a good service to your 
users, moreover to all the fidonet users, so how can you grant a good service 
allowing everyone to do everything he want to do.
I already said, freedom without rules is anarchy and anarchy brings to nothing 
else than chaos. :(

Obviously with my best respect for you and your idea of freedom. :)

The opposite, Bjorn, the opposite, rules are written with the respect of the 
freedom of everyone in mind. ;

Take care. :)
