The only reason why I make the suggestion at all is to allow people to decide whether or not they want to touch the area with a 10 foot pole given the distribution going out to and coming in from newsgroups and the ilk. Do realize that with the majority of nodes internet capable, some are not going to see the logic of bringing into Fidonet that which they can already latch onto with their ISP's news server or any other public newserver. BBS packages for Fidonet such as BBBS, Synchronet and even Winserver allow the sysops to bring in newsgroups to sit side by side their other message offerings. Others in Fidonet prefer to keep Fidonet Fidonet and the Internet Internet. The logical thing to do is not to pollute Fidonet with outside sources but instead to pollute the outside with Fidonet.. This is why many, including myself, offer up Fidonet Echoes via NNTP. == Ross Fidonet Feeds Or Fidonet In Your Newsreader: http://www.easternstar.info E-mail: ross(at)cassell(dot)us | Blogs/Other Places: http://links.cassell.us ....
