This after having four inches of snow on the ground last weekend. The weather can be very fickle around here this time of year. A few updates: - The 'Gazette and the 'Gazette Submission Guideliners are now available via anonymous FTP at bbs.outpostbbs.net in /pub/network/fidonet/fgazette. - You can now submit FG articles via anonymous FTP; just drop off your article in /incoming. Please let me know that you submitted an article via netmail, email, or a message in FIDOGAZETTE. - I will be publishing the FidoGazette in FIDOGAZETTE both by a single message and individual pages as individual messages. I will signify the full single message in the message title with "[FULL]" in the beginning of the subject so if your system cannot handle that message, you can safely skip it. As always, I am looking for more articles for the FidoGazette. Your submissions are welcome! Thank you for reading the FidoGazette. Your patronage is appreciated. -- Sean Dennis FidoGazette Editor/Publisher ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-06 Page 2 21 Mar 2022 ================================================================= COLUMNS ================================================================= As I See It: Slowing Down Sean Dennis (1:18/200) My health has taken a turn for the worse these past few years and I am now permanently disabled and unemployable due to health. I have had the displeasure of fighting with Social Security for the past two years and not having any income since January 2020. It's not been easy nor fun but in the process of becoming disabled and changing my worldview because of it, I have learned to slow down. I now have seemingly unlimited time to do what I want if my health isn't constantly interfering with me, making me either hurt constantly or sleep for 14 hours. When I am feeling decent, I still enjoy working on all of my BBS-related hobbies and, when I can get my radio fixed, amateur radio even with being in an apartment. However, the fight that was once in me is gone. I have to manage stress carefully. I have a blood clot (DVT) in the artery in my right leg that threatens to move if I get too upset or too physically active. It could go to my lungs and suffocate me to death, to my heart or brain blocking the blood flow to either organ and killing me. Real fun to think about this, believe me. So that's why I have backed off of a lot of things in Fidonet. I simply can't handle it anymore. Now this doesn't mean that I am leaving or anything (you can't get rid of me that easy) but it does mean that if there's a problem I can't fix, I'll try to avoid the situation altogether. Thankfully, things are somewhat calmer these days and I really enjoy shooting the breeze in different echoes. It's nice to spend time chatting. I enjoy publishing the FidoGazette even if I don't have a lot of content to publish (yes, this means you: where is your article for the FG? ). I guess it's the satisfaction of having a routine. And there you have it as I see it. Constructive criticism and comments are welcomed. Letters to the editor are also welcomed. Netmail is welcomed also but I prefer the other methods first (I accept crashmail via BinkD). Leave your flamethrower and vulgarities at the door or I will just delete your message. -- Sean 1:18/200 ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-06 Page 3 21 Mar 2022 ================================================================= FIDONET HISTORY ================================================================= The story of the very first Krautfunding Ward Dossche @ 2:292/854 Krautfunding these days seems to be very normal but it has escaped many people how it all started and how influential Fidonet in it has been ... It was in 2000 sometime when a German sysop by the name of Helmut Hullen was excommunicated by his NC, re-listed by his RC24, again excommunicated by the next RC24, before he was finally removed the Z2C. In the process of this both RC24 and ZC2 were threatened with lawsuits if Helmut wasn't re-listed. RC24 gave in but Z2C didn't crumble and Helmut Hullen took him to court, in Belgium. Helmut Hullen hired the services of one of the most famous criminal attorneys (Sven Mary), how he could afford that for such a silly thing is a mistery to me. To make a long story short, after a year and a half of proceedings and 4 sessions he lost the case, had to pay his lawyer, had to pay a law firm in Germany and had to pay the cost of the procedure. My costs, as I was that ZC, were the fees of the lawyer. Pretty big amount for a mere hobby of an insignificant network. So here's this incredible sysop by the name of Udo Zaydowicz who left the network in the meantime, coming up with the idea to start a collection in R24 because the Z2C was not taken to court for some private dispute. He was taken to court for a FidoNet matter based upon Policy 4.07 and was representing FidoNet in court (not my words). Michiel van der Vlist, who started a collection in R28, wrote in ENET.SYSOP: "Well I guess all of FidoNet has won. So co[n]gratulations to us all." The costs were slightly more than 1000 Euro and 30 nodes/points in R24 plus the R28-contribution pledged more than 1500 Euro. Udo managed the R24-portion by generally requesting about 2/3 of the pledged amounts and upon delivery of the final invoice, that was transferred to the Z2C. I don't remember anymore how the R28-portion was handled. There is an aftermath to this story ... Helmut Hullen remained out of the nodelist but some years later he approached the Z2C to be relisted. After consulting with the then RC24 he was told that could happen but only if he refunded the money my lawyer charged me ... To my surprise he did ... And a word is a word ... Helmut became back a node after spending some months in purgatory (i.e. as a zone-independent node 2:2/530 under my immediate view) to see if after 5 years of absence things would remain calm. FGAZ 18-06 Page 4 21 Mar 2022 They did and Helmut Hullen became listed as 2:2480/530 and later as 2:2437/530. He passed away Sept.19th 2016 and his obituary in Fidonews was written by ... me ... The money which he refunded to me ... I contacted all donors and asked them what they wanted me to do ... there were a lot of small amounts that really didn't make sense in view of the international money-transfer rates in 2005. So I asked if it would be OK to make a donation to a worthy cause. Some wanted the money back and were refunded, some not plus there were people that had left my line of sight in the meantime ... for the last 2 cases whatever money was left was donated to "Doctors Without Borders" and proof of the donation was sent to the people concerned. Not a remark was received. Hence ends the story of Helmut Hullen and the first Krautfunding in history. ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-06 Page 5 21 Mar 2022 ================================================================= COORDINATORS' CORNER ================================================================= FTSC Election / Reminder Ward Dossche - 2:2/1000 This is for all you RCs who haven't voted yet... there is an election going on for FTSC Standing Members.

In particular, they would make the prisoners stand in a line and all move their heads like a clock back and forth and say, "tick tock tick tock." Some prisoners, unable to escape or otherwise change their situation, chose a very subtle rebellion. They would do the head motions, but instead of "tick tock tick tock", they would wait until the guards were further down the line and switch to "tick tick tick." None of the guards noticed this was going on for many months, until finally, a young lieutenant was caught ticking by a senior SS Captain walking behind the line. The captain stopped the exercise, walked over, looking face-to-face with the young man, and said "A rebel. Vell, don't vorry, ve have vays of making you tock." ----------------------------------------------------------------- FGAZ 18-06 Page 7 21 Mar 2022 ================================================================= THOUGHT OF THE WEEK ================================================================= Thought Of The Week "There have always been ignorant people but they haven't always had college degrees to make them unaware of their ignorance.
