Sorry, it's dirty work but someone has to do it. :-)
What is this echo?
------------------
FidoNet is a World Class, Global, Communications Network of, by and for
FidoNet Sysops around the Globe. There are other FTN networks but
none are of the size of FidoNet.
What Sysops will see and learn in SHARING will make it "the place to
be". What might they see? We don't have an agenda, hidden or otherwise,
but I'm sure we'll laugh at ourselves, cry for each other and everyone
will be "just themselves".
The wonders and mysteries of FidoNet Technology will be explained!.
Learn how and where files fall into dishes. Learn how and where files
pop out of the InterNet tunnel. Learn how to eat the Echomail Elephant
rather than have it eat you! Learn how to send e-mail to anywhere on the
Globe often with a local phone call, including to AOL, Prodigy, C$erve,
and perhaps that office down the street. Learn there's no such thing as
FREE!
SHARE the wonderful experience of our hobby. This echo is Awesome, it's
the Swiss Army knife of information! There's plenty to learn, learn,
learn and it doesn't matter what hardware, operating system, mailer or
BBS Software a sysop uses.
Sysops can share those funny experiences we all have. One of mine is a
brief story about NERF.BAT. We can laugh with each other and cry with
each other. Yes, tragedy, sometimes simple, sometimes bizarre, hits us
all. Why not share it? There's good news too: someone is a new parent
for the first time, a new grandparent even.
Sysops find good deals on all sorts of goods and services. Why not
SHARE where, how much and how good so we can all get the most out of our
hobby budget?
Please!
--------
What won't you see? No anger. No threats. No intimidation. No
inappropriate language. And none of that politistrivial junk so common
in other Sysop Echos. No Zeroes. No Binary addresses allowed. If
you're a 0 or a 1, stay away! No a.k.a.'s allowed! Use your real,
primary address or stay out, especially those 0's and 1's! Simple
enough?
Every Sysop in any FTN phonebook is invited to participate, invited to
just be themselves and SHARE the FidoNet Technology Experience. FidoNet
Technology Sysops are *very* special people, this echo is by, for and
about them.
Politeness to each other is EXPECTED! It IS REQUIRED. Almost no topic
is "off topic" except as noted below. The Moderators reserve the right
to BAN any topic. I reserve the right to "suspend discussion" of a
topic for a time certain. Be CERTAIN of your FACTS, NAME names, don't
take the cowards way out by using "They said, He said". Be SPECIFIC.
There are three Moderators. They are:
Christopher Baker;
jim barchuk; and
Debra Milner.
They are the only ones who will make Moderatorial pronouncments to
anyone else. Leave any Moderating to them. We don't expect to have to
do much in the way of moderating in a friendly and cooperative Echo.
Definitions:
------------
Phonebook: The Nodelist
FidoGawd: (or its variations) are prohibited from this Echo.
Fight-o-Net: (or its variations) are also prohibited.
Policy: Policy4 as indicated in the nodelist. The ONLY policy. If
your zone/region/net also has a local policy, be specifc.
If you use Policy by itself, POLICY4 is assumed.
EchoPol: It does not exist, never did. Maybe never will.
CRP: Cost Recovery Plan/Program. I prefer Cost Sharing but you
call it what you wish.
CRaP: Something that sometimes accompanies particpation in a CRP.
It is and is intended to be an unflattering term.
Grunt Sysop: All 30,000+ PEOPLE in the FidoNet phonebook and or any FTN
phone book.
backbone: or Backbone, whichever you prefer is OFF Topic [except we
we will share how to get an Echo on the Backbone if asked.]
As Mr. Bartles and Mr. James are known to say: Thank you for your
support!
Short and sweet (?)
