Hello All, 

  I'm curious if anyone has ever put together a document that shows the different BBS networks and gives a brief synopses for them?

  i.e.

  Fidonet- good for x, organized like x, general focus of net is x

  fsxNET- .......................

  DOVE-Net-   .......................

 I mean we can all just read what's getting posted there, but if I was a new user and I saw the different networks listed, some with overlapping bases, it seems ham/amateur radio is everywhere... apart from say weed-net I don't have any sense of what of if the network has a flavor if you will to it's communications. 

 I've been working on getting established myself with 267_Net which is a New York area cluster under the Fidonet banner. Are there any other geographic sub divisions like this? I think it would help out users better understand the landscape if we had some sort of map that didn't pigeonhole but helped to layout the framework of what's out there. 

  Thoughts?
