If it were possible, but of course  you know you excaturate (sp).  There are
other methods to promote the snooze.  Some of the editors have done so.  They
participate in other areas, and see an intersting chat, and suggest that might
be an article for Fidonew.   I have seen it done, with resultant articles.

Every sysop in NOT conversant with policy unfortuntately, and not every sysop
or user, knows about Fidonew the publication even.

That attitude is what got us to this point as well.

I did write at least one article several years ago.    However, writing
articles is not my strong point, As for technical articles, I leave that to
those who are much better at it then I.  That includes Fido technical stuff, as
well as Ham Radio, etc. I am interested ion all, but not an expert in any of
that.  I know for a fact that some here will write articles if this baloney is
ever solved.
