Ärende: Power of the FidoWeb
============================
Hello Everybody,

The great pretender (Allen Prunty) thought he had his own special
echo for elitist sysops all set up, keeping folks like me locked out
forever.  Was he ever wrong -

It seems like some (mostly Z1) sysops still don't understand
the power of the Fidoweb, so let me in on our not so secret secret.

Michiel van der Vlist has written several articles in the *real*
Fidonews about it. Unfortunately some of the sysops that should
pay the most attention to it seemingly preferred to read the fake
Fidonews by the time.

Unlike the so called NAB, the FidoWeb is *not* an organised
thingy.  All the (now 30+ or so) connected systems are extremely
loosely connected.

Circa ten or so of us are in this 100%. We take every single
echo that emerges and send it to the rest of us. For my part those
are the systems that I routinely add to every new echo that emerges:

1:320/219 154/10 249/303 266/404 2320/100 2:221/1 280/464 3:640/384

Then there are 20+ systems (from my horizon) that are only partially
connected -- they only help distribute the echoes they have signed up
for. Some only ten, some fifty and some many more, but they haven't
asked for an auto-add
-- yet...

                   -=end quote=-

The Thunder of the FidoWeb has spoken, thus revealing its power to ALL.
