Its really rubbing some Sysops the wrong way, having them find out that their 
messages are crossing over to some Internet platform they've never heard of 
nor feel comfortable with. This to me is no different than a Sysop who 
just decides to makes everything available on a Web BBS.

I do not understand why all of this wasn't done either in seperate dedicated
echoes for this purpose or an entire Othernet. It appears no thought at all 
was given as to how the Sysop would feel about it.

This is not the "future" for Fido and I hope it stops soon. This is a perfect 
example of how not to do something and why new ideas are most often rejected.
