================================
*** Quoting Jeff Smith from a message to Carol Shenkenberger ***

 CS> Well, we have to submit articles before we can bemoan the lack of
 CS> them.


JS>      That is true and I blame us all for not submitting more. Can't bl
JS> the editor when articles are being submitted.

True.  None of us have done our part on that.  I used to do so with one a month
or close to that, but havent in some time.  Now i face a quandry.

I face a difficult post and a response, and a desire in my own heart to not use
and abuse fidonews.  Fidonews is more than the current holder of the editor
(though I count him as a friend even if many of you do not).  Fidonews is
mythic in my world.  I posted my first note there with trepidation because I
didnt feel 'mythic enough' to be allowed in those hallowed spaces.

Times have changed but my attitude is still to have respect for the idea, if
not every issue published.

I will reply with the respect my heart has for the fidonews.

JS>      It's not so much that the editor doesn't post articles from other
JS> zones. At least I haven't seen a problem there. My point was that if y
JS> are from a zone other that Z2 what you have to say is rejected out of
JS> hand. At least that has been my experience. It has been plainly stated
JS> in the Fidonews echo that things are done the Z2 way. If people don't
JS> like it then leave or start their own Fidonews and echo. IMO that isn'
JS> a solution but just another way to further divide Fidonet.

Fidonet now has a thought pattern of Z2 is bigger. If Z1 did that when they
were bigger, it was not as obvious.  It may have held sway, but was not the
systematic 'your zone vs mine' that we have seen in the past 3 years grow.

People have polarized and it's very obvious from outside the 2 zones.



JS>      I submitted an article and Michiel was given a copy or made privy
JS> to the article so he could reply in the same edition of Fidonews. Bjor
JS> and Michiel of course deny this. The reply by Michiel isn't what bothe
JS> me. It was the special privileges that Bjorn seemed to be showing his
JS> friends over everyone else.

Well, I am not sure.  I think if Bjorn did such, he would have done same for
me.  Fortunately he did not and will get a better reply less rushed <g>.

Consider this.  Michiel posted one note. I asked a question. I got a reply. I
got a Fnews article apparently from that.  I postd here not having seen it,
but in ways that address most of it.  Did I read his article?  No.  I just had
a feeling what weas there and addressed things as they came up.

Could your situiation be like that?  Possible?  I do not know, only you would
know.

 JS>> they will listen to what you have to say.

 CS> Thats been a bit of a problem perhaps, for all of us.

Hehe lets see.
