Editorial: oops
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
by Tom Jennings (1:1/1)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Oh well, nothing like inventing everything as you go...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To get to the point: an article a few weeks ago by Ann Ioannides
|
|||
|
complaining of problems should not have been published. I apologize to
|
|||
|
everyone involved. I owe Dave Rawson (102/34, moderator INTERUSER)
|
|||
|
especially an apology.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Two things result.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
One -- this problem happened, besides my not looking more carefully at
|
|||
|
the particular article at hand (see below) partly because of the
|
|||
|
process, or lack thereof, in dealing with these sorta things.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Two -- this particular thing won't happen again, because I am adding
|
|||
|
more rules to FidoNews article submission:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
... when an article accuses anyone of wrongdoing, or other somesuch
|
|||
|
type thing, I will inform the author that I will send a copy of the
|
|||
|
article to all referenced people, and await there reply (or a
|
|||
|
reasonable interval and attempts to contact), and,
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
... FidoNews will not run personal attacks as articles, period.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The astute observer will notice (I did, just now) that many if not
|
|||
|
most of the ahem problems with FidoNews content are this sort of
|
|||
|
thing, one way or another.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Oh well. Now we know. I told Dave Rawson I will allow them to get in
|
|||
|
the last word.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * * * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The only thing I'll say in my defense is the following:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I was told I should research submissions before publishing them (see
|
|||
|
related item, below). My response is, flatly impossible. I am editor,
|
|||
|
and publisher, not author. While I do have an overall responsibility
|
|||
|
for content, duly acknowledged, I do not make this stuff up. Now if I
|
|||
|
knowingly take part in false or damaging content, it's another story.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I wanted to keep FidoNews an wide-open medium for publishing
|
|||
|
"anything". It looks more and more like this is flatly impossible.
|
|||
|
Before you write in those "I told you so"'s, I'll reiterate that I
|
|||
|
want to keep all changes to FidoNews public and open and in response
|
|||
|
to some particular need, rather than merely the whim of some know-it-
|
|||
|
all, as is so often the case in FidoNet. Mistakes get made, and I
|
|||
|
really am truly sorry for Dave and everyone in INTERUSER.

And I received this interesting comment in netmail this past week.
|
|||
|
It's related, tangentially at the least, and raises yet another
|
|||
|
possible question. I'll mark items in the text with [x].

|
Subj: Question
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You published an article in FidoNews by a NON-FidoNet member
|
|||
|
using someone else's valid FidoNet address. Is this ok? [a]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Would you please clarify "published weekly by and for the Members of
|
|||
|
the FidoNet International amateur network" as it appears in FidoNews?
|
|||
|
[b]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Does this include material by and for members and NOT include a bbs
|
|||
|
USER's comments or article? If open to all for their views, (FidoNet
|
|||
|
members as well as anyone else as long as a valid node number is
|
|||
|
used), then perhaps I misunderstood.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I thought only actual FidoNet members have the privilege of having
|
|||
|
their comments and articles published in your excellent publication.
|
|||
|
[c]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Thank you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
First, thanks for the well thought out message!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[a] I don't know which article you are referring to, but I don't think
|
|||
|
it matters. Presumably it was a user of that BBS. Presumably that
|
|||
|
person had access (ie. permission) from the sysop. Contextual
|
|||
|
assumptions (does this user represent that BBS; does the sysop
|
|||
|
represent a BBS; etc) depend on answers to your other questions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[b] Personally, I take "members of..." to include, yes, users. At
|
|||
|
various times, for various purposes. I don't recall it ever coming up,
|
|||
|
and I think it's safe to say over 90% of FidoNews is from sysops, and
|
|||
|
the user-generated content is in general equally as pertinent. There
|
|||
|
has been stuff from non-BBS/non-FidoNet and even non-telecomm. people
|
|||
|
as well. I believe that this non-policy helps, not hinders, FidoNews,
|
|||
|
though others may disagree, certainly!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[c] Depends on [b], I guess....
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* * * * *
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And last but definitely not least, one wonderful reader wrote to tell
|
|||
|
us of a source of problem resolution available to echo users, which
|
|||
|
I've included as an article in this issue. Thanks, Wilma, for taking
|
|||
|
the trouble to write.

|

If you are wondering about an echo where anyone who is able to access
|
|||
|
FidoNet echos can go and look for help/guidence/etc. it does exist
|
|||
|
(almost 3 years old now). The name is NET-POL and it is on the
|
|||
|
backbone. I don't claim we can solve all the problems in FidoNet, but
|
|||
|
we (the echo) has been able to help quite a few FidoNet users with
|
|||
|
various problems. The members of the echo range from very young bbs
|
|||
|
callers to (last I knew) RC's, EC's and NC's, with everything in
|
|||
|
between.

Aloha from Hawaii!
|
|||
|
by Lou Ludwig 1:345/20 and Pj Estes 1:345/10
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Did you know the single word, Aloha, means more than just hello or
|
|||
|
good-bye? It also means love, kindness, affection, or goodwill. This
|
|||
|
one word conveys the Hawaiian attitude better than any other I can
|
|||
|
think of.
|
|||
|
|
|||

Hawaii. The state, the myths, the lifestyle, the people....
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Almost everyone dreams at one time or another of the beautiful
|
|||
|
tropical setting of our 50th state. To some it's their dream vacation.
|
|||
|
To others it's their dream of living here. Yet others may just have a
|
|||
|
curiosity of the history, culture, or tourist attractions which are so
|
|||
|
abundant on the islands.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Until I moved here my knowledge of Hawaii consisted of what I had
|
|||
|
seen on TV or read in books. Things like bits about the Pearl Harbor
|
|||
|
attack, fantasy TV series such as Hawaii Five-O and Magnum PI, and the
|
|||
|
glamour of the ads in travel brochures - Life in the fastlane...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Oh Boy! Was I ever in for a culture shock! Although it wasn't
|
|||
|
everything I had expected (Is it ever?), I'm not the least bit
|
|||
|
dissapointed with my decision to move here.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Hawaii has so much to offer. We here on the islands would like to
|
|||
|
share the "Spirit of Aloha" and information that we have found with
|
|||
|
others, to help everyone become more aware of Hawaii and all it has to
|
|||
|
offer. Whether the topic is History, the Economy, Beaches, or anything
|
|||
|
in-between, you're sure to find the answers here.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Whatever your attraction to Hawaii is, you're sure to enjoy this
|
|||
|
echo. Why not join us and catch the "Aloha Spirit"? Contact our NEC,
|
|||
|
Bill Arrington at 1:345/7 for the "HAWAII" feed today! He'll be more
|
|||
|
than happy to hook ya up, and as soon as we can get enough people
|
|||
|
involved we will be moving to the Backbone for distribution. Aloha and
|
|||
|
Mahalo. Hope to see you all here soon.

A new echo has been created in Net 247 called DR_DOS. This echo is
|
|||
|
aimed towards users and SysOps who run DR-DOS, or are interested in
|
|||
|
DR-DOS.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The echo is open to all who wish it. The echo though will have to
|
|||
|
be picked up from 247/99 since it is not on the backbone. At least
|
|||
|
not yet.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
NETMail Cal Gardner, 1:247/99 to get hooked up.

Perot_92 Echo Started
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We are pleased to announce the creation of PEROT_92, an echo devoted
|
|||
|
to the discussion of H. Ross Perot's candidacy for the Presidency.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
FidoNews 9-17 Page 8 27 Apr 1992
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Distribution at this point is limited, but feeds can be arranged at
|
|||
|
1:260/246 and 1:260/222. We assume other feeds will be available as
|
|||
|
the echo, like Ross' campaign, grows.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(This echo is not affiliated with the official H. Ross Perot petition
|
|||
|
drive. Yet.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
PEROT in 92!

"P_news" PROGRESSIVE News & Views
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
There are ALTERNATIVES. This is an echo conference for
|
|||
|
articulating ideas that challenge prevailing views. Except for
|
|||
|
"Anews" and very few others, there is a shortage of alternative
|
|||
|
networks. BUT NOW, there is "progressive" news, views & poetry.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Why another alternative echo? Why not? Why not a dozen
|
|||
|
alternative echos to discuss NEW VISIONS? Discuss the news you
|
|||
|
read in the alternative press and on Anews, nytransfer, peaceNet,
|
|||
|
ecoNet, conflictNet with a little poetry thrown in.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
What is P_news?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It is "Progressive" news, views & poetry.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The "P" also stands for a "Peaceful" resolution of conflicts,
|
|||
|
wherever possible and not wars for oil or tyranny or right wing
|
|||
|
dictatorships because they are supportive of exploitive social
|
|||
|
orders. No more genocide in our name.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It stands for "Poetry", that contains social commentary, and
|
|||
|
relates to the human condition. Poetry contains a language of its
|
|||
|
own. It is metaphor and images, a painting on the canvass of the
|
|||
|
mind, using words to evoke feelings and stir the sleeping soul.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And it stands for "Progressive", that tendency for justice and
|
|||
|
more humane attitudes and a recognition that abuses will occur
|
|||
|
unless we vigilently struggle for the protection of the weakest,
|
|||
|
the dowtrodden and the most unfortunate among us.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It is the recognition that we desperately need a clean
|
|||
|
environment, affordable housing, decent mass transportation.
|
|||
|
We need sanity and to vigorously move away from the
|
|||
|
conspiratorical hypocracy that rules. We need democracy for all
|
|||
|
the people and we don't have it, not enough of it, and we aim to
|
|||
|
get it, and that's human nature----or put in another way, in the
|
|||
|
nature of our humanity, to insist on decency, peace, and social
|
|||
|
justice.

This echo is for PROGRESSIVE positions only. NO flames! NO right
|
|||
|
wing debate. NOT a forum for reactionary politics.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
We hope to be on the national backbone soon. Ask your sysop to
|
|||
|
have the REC request it on the ZEC conference echo so we can
|
|||
|
establish your link to P_news.
