Michiel,
following up a message from Richard Webb to Michiel van der Vlist:

RW> Did I mention specific echoes?  I mentioned individuals in
RW> the post Dale was referencing.

YOu decided to look at echoes I moderate.  Quanity doesn't
mean shit to me.  OFf topic is off topic.  I don't care to
welcome the sort of cesspool this echo has become in a
discussion forum i moderate.

As for live-audio, there's a bit of a project afoot which
will draw more professionals in the field to help Fido folks with sound
reinforcement questions by gating it to a mailing list.

Why must we gate it to a mailing list?  Because these folks
can't find enough content actually relevant to anything at
all on FIdonet via nntp.  They could give a rat's ass about
a Fidonews echo, or a file announcement echo, or discussion
of FIdonet software.  YEt some of these folks would give
high quality answers to questions posed from the FIdo side,
and generate good traffic of their own.

Many of these individuals participate in a wide variety of
usenet forums related to live show production, system
isntallation for multipurpose facilities, etc.  They're not
going to reconfigure a newsreader for one forum.  They have
no desire to engage the likes of you in anything, except the hope that you'll
quit breathing someday and leave your quota of food water and oxygen to folks
who will put it to better
use.

SO what is it you really hope to get out of FIdonet again?
YEah I know, you already told us, you got this powerful
grudge, and it consumes your life.  tHe people I mentioned
in the post Dale referenced have no desire to try to engage
the likes of you in civil conversation, but if you look at
the places they congregate her in z1 anyway, you'll find
some rather lively discussions taking place among them.
That's not the type of forum i would care to moderate
myself, but I applaud the folks who are willing to, to give
them a place to have those conversations.  I occasionally
find myself informed, and even entertained by them.  You may not enjoy the
cooking echo, or memories, or appreciate the
fact that I've offered FIdonet fora on various topics to
anyone who cares to use it in a civil manner, but the folks
who inhabit these echoes enjoy and appreciate them.  NObody
asked you, your approval wasn't sought, because quite
frankly, none of us give a rat's ass whether you approve or
not.
Nobody consulted you, nobody intends to consult you.


           Richard
