Wilfred,

I do NOT know Tim, but I always like to look first at the situation and look at
positives AND negatives.  

After researching Tim, I see that he was an FTSC Standing Member, which his
term ended 28 Mar 2024 and he has demonstrated that he understands the
technology by writing point software (WinPoint).  He may have been replying
using his point software accidentally.  I doubt it was intentional or
malicious.  

If the rules state that you must use a "real" fidonet address and not a point
address, originally, then that is a negative, but he clearly understands what
the purpose of this committee is.  It looks like we need dedicated members,

Regardless, he is willing to participate in a skilled capacity and clearly
understands the ask.  People in this echo are mentioning that the FTSC is dead
or useless unless people come together and participate.  

Send Tim a netmail to his address and see what comes back.

We should all create an agenda and collaborate on those topics instead of a
bunch of people being frustrated over many different things.  I am coming into
this with very little initial visibility.

I took being nominated as an honor.  Some may laugh at my comment, but I have
had a passion for fidonet and the BBS community for around 40 years.  I have
not been a member of fidonet that long, but kept an eye on changes to the
community, etc.

What is a topic that we should address, other than kicking me out? lol

I always speak with sincerity as I do not want to ever offend anyone. Please do
not take this as I am barking at you or directing a rude tone towards you.

-Jason
