    Afer a long vacation I came back as a point....and Lo and Behold, the Fido Politics are still bubbling up

    I see some familair names and read some familair agendas.

    And so,it may not be true that you can not put your toe in the same place in the river as before.

    Thom,

    Afer a long vacation I came back as a point....and Lo and Behold, the
    Fido Politics are still bubbling up

    So you finally got the WinPoint functioning, it is becoming popular ...

    And so,it may not be true that you can not put your toe in the same place in the river as before.

    There are different views possible ... for example I'm still flying intercontinentally via JFK airport and still haven't been stopped at the border ...

    Everyone left with the exception of a few *Cs, committee members, mods, hubs and software developers. No real progress is made. Sometimes a new user shows up and is declared a troll. A few get bitten by the undead zombies and join the conversation of the braindead. Until one day a weirdo AI will compile its own FTN software with the help of github copilot and spam the network to death. Only a few will notice, even fewer will care.

    //Hello Ward,//

    Yep....wimpont is working (kinda, sorta,maybe)

    It's fortunate for you that organizations which protect us have overlooked your arrivals.

    Yep...sad part is it's not only Fidonet. All we need do is look at the Circle of Confusion located betweeen Maryland and VIrginia to notice how the effluent rises to the top.

    Thom,

    It's fortunate for you that organizations which protect us have
    overlooked your arrivals.

    Nevertheless, June 19th 2003 was a fun day. I enjoyed myself.
