-
- : Reasonable I suppose. Personally I would never have touched the UK end of
- : MaxsNet because the people running it were, well, they had some ego problems :)
-
- i know, there is a BIG ego problem here in the UK :(
-
- : Most of the better/more popular ones come from down here in Australia...
-
- yep! :)
-
- : That's just silly.
-
- i know it is.
-
- : I doubt anybody in here really cares if you knock it or not...
-
- well, welcome to some damaging cynic from Oz! how do you do?? ;)
-
- : They didn't want to pay any more than is _necessary_ it seems, and phone calls
- : are necessary for netmail...
-
- FREE phone calls now thanks to internet and cable companies.....i am
- successfully getting MAXsNET from australia for almost nothing.
-
- : MaxsNet isn't controlled from the UK side of things. And since alot of the
- : development mail, and distribution of doors is and will be done via the
- : internet, it won't make much of a difference.
-
- the UK part of MAXsNET is.....and the best distribution of DOORs is
- still via the BBS scene - since you might not know this but most BBSs
- are still NOT connected up to the internet..
-
- : I doubt it. MaxsNet is effectively dead in Australia now. Sydney has been
- : cutoff because the co-ordinator in Adelaide didn't like a single user up here,
- : so the flow of mail would be pretty low, and considering that the
- : crap:worthwhile_mail ratio was always about 10:1, I doubt it'd be worth
- : reading.
-
- well, there you go...i offer a 100% valid service to help/support sysops
- around the world and some cynic from the other side of the world tries
- to dismiss it...i have a problem with jerks like that!
