Hello David - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> Something like inbreeding has been going on with fidonet

DD> It is the contact information that is effectively

Is there a secret handshake like the Moose Lodge has? 

--8<--cut 

DD> Fidonet is a technical specification, not a software package 

Fidonet needs a secret handshake.

CA>> Jennings seems to be saying he abandoned the project when
CA>> arrogant wannabe's started interfering. 

DD> Too many straights for him.... 

Or too many chiefs and not enough indians?

CA>> OK, I believe you.

Nothing matters in this thread. That messages were deleted and
not transferred along the backbone seems unimportant when there
is an oportunity to bang the fidonet drums.

Don't either of you know anything else?
