Hello Sean!

 SD> Micronet will stay in Micronet.  I have access to my mail across three
 SD> computers.  My phone is a phone; nothing else.

Noted! ;)  Fair enough.

 SD> Micronet is not to be gated anywhere at any time (I am not
 SD> talking about using NNTP to access Micronet; I mean porting
 SD> Micronet outside of FTN/QWK).

How is NNTP not-gating? It is very much outside ftn/qwk.  FTN- 
to-NNTP requires very much quite a bit of porting and fudging to  
make it recognizeable and useable with ng readers.  FTN-to- 
Telegram is not much different.  ;)  Instead of an ng reader,  
the Telegram app makes things nice and pretty.

 SD> If I wanted Micronet to be a chat group online, I'd go set
 SD> up BBoard on a website.  This is also the same thing with
 SD> my Fidonet echoes.

Echomail is a term long associated with FTN.  It is a just an  
echochat by another name.  ;)

 SD> The -sole- gate I will allow is one I am creating to test
 SD> out gating CHWARE in Fidonet and MIN_BBS in here using
 SD> Blackhole but it's just a test.

Sounds interesting. I don't know what this Blackhole thing is.
