For those of you who objected to last week's editorial: you
|
|||
|
|
are a minority (or at least you're a minority of those messages
|
|||
|
|
I received). But your point is well taken. I'll try to keep
|
|||
|
|
these outbursts to a minimum.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
It's sort of funny, though. There are really no particular
|
|||
|
|
restrictions on subject matter in FidoNews articles. The
|
|||
|
|
objections I heard seemed to suggest that the Editor has to
|
|||
|
|
apply restrictions to his(her) own contributions that nobody
|
|||
|
|
else need be concerned with.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Balderdash.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Let me tell you what I did today. I watched two football games on
|
|||
|
|
my projection TV system, fully enjoying the effects of Dolby
|
|||
|
|
Surround in each case. I played about 10 games of pinball down in
|
|||
|
|
the basement. I took the family out to dinner. I moved a bunch of
|
|||
|
|
files from a scragged Rainbow to one of my clones over a serial
|
|||
|
|
line. I watched coverage of you-know-what on CNN.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
What does all that have to do with FidoNet? Nothing and
|
|||
|
|
everything.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You see, there was really no particular relationship between what
|
|||
|
|
I did and the technical aspects of operating a FidoNet node. So
|
|||
|
|
it is logical to assume that there was no relationship between
|
|||
|
|
today's activities and FidoNet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
However, in the new social manifestation of FidoNet, the person
|
|||
|
|
who sits behind the keyboard is an integral part of the network.
|
|||
|
|
The contribution made to the network by this person is a function
|
|||
|
|
of everything that person experiences and performs. This leads to
|
|||
|
|
a logical conclusion that there is a relationship between my trip
|
|||
|
|
to Chili's with the kids and FidoNet.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Last week, this tension in the Persian Gulf was occupying my
|
|||
|
|
mind. I was pissed off that things had reached the stage where
|
|||
|
|
war was inevitable. I needed to get it off my chest. I did so.
|
|||
|
|
An amazing number of people shared my feelings and many of them
|
|||
|
|
indicated that my core dump had been helpful to their own thought
|
|||
|
|
process.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
When I was finished, I felt better. So did others. I made a
|
|||
|
|
positive contribution. That makes me feel even more better.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Perhaps a few of you media critics could try writing the perfect
|
|||
|
|
article. It would sure be a gas to see someone in FidoNet win a
|
|||
|
|
Pulitzer Prize. It should be easy. Your only real competition
|
|||
|
|
would be some war correspondent, and who cares about wars anyway?

Your Leader or Your Oil
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wedneday, Jan. 16, 1991. I had just finished the readings for a
|
|||
|
|
Political Science course on International Relations. Scanning
|
|||
|
|
through the channels on the vcr I hit CFPL and see they are
|
|||
|
|
transmitting the live feed from CNN about something from Iraq.
|
|||
|
|
Wait a minute, it's 7:37pm. Why is CFPL running a feed from CNN
|
|||
|
|
in prime time? Better switch over to CNN and see what's
|
|||
|
|
happening. In a lightning swift move, US President George Bush
|
|||
|
|
has launched an allied air strike on Iraq, and CNN, the little
|
|||
|
|
network that grew, is the only US or Canadian network that is
|
|||
|
|
transmitting live. For the next three and a half hours I sit
|
|||
|
|
and watch what seems to be a very one sided battle. As I go
|
|||
|
|
to sleep, wondering what is going to happen while I sleep, I
|
|||
|
|
can't help but think that I should have filled up my car's gas
|
|||
|
|
tank as the price of oil is likely to go through the roof when
|
|||
|
|
the stock exchanges open.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Thursday, Jan. 17, 1991. The hike in the price of oil that all
|
|||
|
|
the bankers and analists have been forcasting should war erupt
|
|||
|
|
never happens, but the price of Light-Sweet Crude (the U.S.
|
|||
|
|
Benchmark crude) has hit a low that only existed before Iraq's
|
|||
|
|
leader Saddam Hussain moved to illegally annex neighboring
|
|||
|
|
Kuwait. And the NYSE rises over 100 points. What's going on
|
|||
|
|
here? From what I can piece together, it looks like Iraq,
|
|||
|
|
Kuwait, and/or Saudi Arabia will now have a permanent U.S.
|
|||
|
|
millitary presence, be it in the form of bases to "protect" the
|
|||
|
|
oil wells in Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, or a multi-national
|
|||
|
|
occupation force will move into Iraq, dividing it into zones
|
|||
|
|
similiar to what happened to Berlin after WWII.
|
|||
|
|
Finally, almost 24 hours after the initial allied air attack on
|
|||
|
|
Iraq, some of the missles that escaped destruction have been
|
|||
|
|
fired at Israel. What launching missles at Israel will
|
|||
|
|
accomplish, has yet to be discovered. Israel did not take part
|
|||
|
|
in the initial attack, but has been singled out as the first
|
|||
|
|
nation to be attacked in retaliation. Given the current
|
|||
|
|
feelings between the Arabs and the Jews, Saddam may have just
|
|||
|
|
signed his own death warrant. Israel has repetedly demonstrated
|
|||
|
|
that it can and will defend itself.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now that conflict has begun, we can only hope that it will be
|
|||
|
|
over soon, and not plunge us into WWIII and/or a religious war
|
|||
|
|
composed of people of the Arabic faith vs. most other faiths.

profuse apologies
|
|||
|
|
=================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Apologies if the formatting on this one is bad, but I'm doing it
|
|||
|
|
by hand in FroDo. I may even take the time to do it properly
|
|||
|
|
later, but since it's just a short one...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
on with the story...
|
|||
|
|
====================
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
... in any case, on with the story. As far as non-geographical
|
|||
|
|
nets are concerned: they're really not needed. There is NOTHING
|
|||
|
|
in POLICY4 that says you can't get your echomail from whoever
|
|||
|
|
you want. So, you can get your feed from the net next door if
|
|||
|
|
you like, and all you have to do is poll your real host every
|
|||
|
|
now and again to pick up your routed netmail.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Seeing as the main reason people want to switch nets is to do
|
|||
|
|
with echomail distribution in some way or another, that little
|
|||
|
|
realisation should fix quite a few problems.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Why am I bringing this up? Well, as it was pointed out to me:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> Giving people a choice of which net they can belong to
|
|||
|
|
> makes it a social choice, and once a group gets together
|
|||
|
|
> they can just as easily 'socially choose' to not have you
|
|||
|
|
> in their net.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, there could be ways in which you could restrict this kind
|
|||
|
|
of thing happening under a new POLICY (like WORLDPOL), but it
|
|||
|
|
seems to me that it'd be mightily unwieldy. By the way, the
|
|||
|
|
worry about this kind of thing happening isn't just opinion --
|
|||
|
|
it's happening, live. Here's a simplified version of what's
|
|||
|
|
happening in one area of FidoNet. It's not arranged on the
|
|||
|
|
ol' geographical boundary system, and...
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> What would you say if, in your area of FidoNet, you had
|
|||
|
|
> two choices:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> 1) Run a specific type of machine, 24-hours-a-day only, and
|
|||
|
|
> pay membership fees to a non-FidoNet-related club and honour
|
|||
|
|
> that club's rules/decisions about how you run your board.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
> 2) Run in an alternative independent network where you are
|
|||
|
|
> forced to pay _heavy_ contributions to the net's echomail

|||

|

|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds pretty worrying to
|
|||
|
|
me, especially as I really can see that kind of thing happening
|
|||
|
|
in many areas of Australia, said areas already having shown
|
|||
|
|
some pretty spectacular displays of applied politics and in-
|
|||
|
|
fighting.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The POLICY4 we're all so "fond" of is quite explicit about what
|
|||
|
|
you have to do to join FidoNet. It's nice to know that if I move
|
|||
|
|
house, I'm not going to get locked out of the local network
|
|||
|
|
because of a personality conflict with my new area's host.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
As before, I'm just throwing stuff around to stir debate. Whilst
|
|||
|
|
WORLDPOL may be better than POLICY4 in a lot of respects, it's
|
|||
|
|
not perfect yet, and I'd hate to make a hasty decision on the
|
|||
|
|
matter.

===========
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
PS. I love mail. If \ANYONE\ has any comments to make, send 'em
|
|||
|
|
in to me! International crashmail is not required -- nor would
|
|||
|
|
it work (me being a -pvt- node and all). The zonegate, on the
|
|||
|
|
other hand, seems to be functioning perfectly. Once it hits
|
|||
|
|
there, the beautifully efficient netmail routing we have here
|
|||
|
|
in ZONE 3 will get your message to me with loving care.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now, the amusing bit -- I leave for the big end of RG50 in a few
|
|||
|
|
days, and will be there for a couple of weeks. Don't expect any
|
|||
|
|
huge numbers of replies until then. Sorry.
