The following survey was submitted for a user on my system.
|
||
He asks that persons interested in helping him with this
|
||
thesis project please place this survey (a message on a local
|
||
message area is the easiest) on their BBS, collect the
|
||
results, and send them to him. You could netmail them, or
|
||
get in touch with me somehow, and I'll F'Req them from your
|
||
systems, or something. Thank you in advance for your
|
||
participation.

JUST ANOTHER FAIRY TALE?
|
||
|
||
Once upon a time there was a group of friends and strangers who
|
||
wanted to talk to one another through a magical wonder known in
|
||
the arcana as Computer Communications.
|
||
|
||
The original wizards of the mystic art commanded the forces of
|
||
nature to bind them to another, a small coven of Touch Typists
|
||
and Techies. And behold, it was good.
|
||
|
||
Therefore the wizards proclaimed "let us prosyletize!" and they
|
||
did. Soon the coven grew from a few to many. And then many more
|
||
and many more until the group multiplied to cover the face of the
|
||
Earth with their mystic arts and magical incantations. And still
|
||
it was good.
|
||
|
||
The group was a group but was not, and in that it was not was its
|
||
strength and so it grew. In diverse places on the Earth did new
|
||
groups both large and small appear, different each with its own
|
||
strange customs and unusual deeds, yet all part of the first
|
||
group. And together they would incant "F-i-d-o-n-e-t, ohmmmm."
|
||
For that which tied them was fragile, little more than wire and
|
||
strange numbers in a magical list.
|
||
|
||
But for all the numbers and wire, a beast lurked in the midst of
|
||
the group and the beast had a name and it was "Annoyance." For
|
||
though the magic was powerful and shone forth in its awe, none
|
||
would ever bleed from misuse of the force. No limb be torn, nor
|
||
brow bruised by evil use of the magic. But still this one beast
|
||
arose and many became obsessed with the name of Annoyance.
|
||
|
||
Then darkly through the monitor spake a voice of darkness.
|
||
"Policy," it said. "Policy will make us like unto one another and
|
||
thus will we be rid of the beast."
|
||
|
||
And there was much rushing hither and yon, and whispering and
|
||
rumors of war and much ado about this new weapon, Policy.
|
||
|
||
Said the Moderator, "And it shall say that I am the lord god of
|
||
my dominions and none shall challenge me on penalty of echodeath!"
|
||
|
||
Said the NEC, "And it shall say that no NC shall rise up against
|
||
me lest Policy be brought against him and he shall surely rue
|
||
that day."
|
||
|
||
Said the REC, "And I shall be the master of all I survey and I
|
||
shall know what is right in my principalities and I shall cause
|
||
the underlings beneath me to walk in righteousness by the name of
|
||
Policy."
|
||
|
||
FidoNews 8-12 Page 8 25 Mar 1991
|
||
|
||
|
||
Said the ZEC, "Policy hath forsaken me to my doom and I shall
|
||
never say what I think lest someone disagree with me."
|
||
|
||
Said the NC, "We are not Annoyed."
|
||
|
||
Said the RC, "We are not annoited."
|
||
|
||
Said the ZC, "We are not amused."
|
||
|
||
Said the frustrated sysop, "And I shall use the might of Policy
|
||
to Vote, to Vote, and I shall be rid of all my frustration and
|
||
rid of all those who would coordinate me."
|
||
|
||
Said the Average Sysop, "Who are all these people anyway?"
|
||
|
||
And concern begat discussion which begat debate which begat
|
||
argument which begat bitterness which begat Policy. And no one
|
||
got kissed before they got begat.
|
||
|
||
###
|
||
|
||
PostLogue
|
||
|
||
From Echopol to ZEC elections to the New Jerusalem of Policy 5,
|
||
this fairy tale is no creative writing. FidoNet is a connection
|
||
more than it is a group. Indeed, the individual systems in a
|
||
given net differ more than they are alike, in views, in purpose,
|
||
in modus operandi and often even in hardware/software
|
||
configurations.
|
||
|
||
We are not a homogeneous unit. We have two things that actually
|
||
bind us: general purpose (to communicate) and general method (the
|
||
nodelist). Beyond that it's work and as much good luck as we can
|
||
get.
|
||
|
||
The problems all the buzzing is intended to solve really do come
|
||
down to matters of being annoyed. Sure foolish users or sysops
|
||
can cost us all money, but if anyone thinks the power of policy
|
||
will or should eliminate this annoyance their dream will be
|
||
shaken when we wake up in the New Jerusalem. We will still have
|
||
(and need to tolerate) foolish users and sysops.
|
||
|
||
Giving sysops a vote will solve the problems, right? Join the new
|
||
Coffee echo and have a smell. Giving sysops voting rights is
|
||
going to cause considerably more problems than it could pretend
|
||
to solve. Witness the ZEC elections.
|
||
|
||
Annoyed sysops will vote, campaign, stir up bad feelings and
|
||
replicate Z1_Election many times in the future. The Average Sysop
|
||
will continue to wonder "Who are these guys anyway?"
|
||
|
||
FidoNews 8-12 Page 9 25 Mar 1991
|
||
|
||
|
||
What problem were we trying to solve? Feeling helpless cause you
|
||
didn't get your way? Just wait until some of those folks have a
|
||
"mandate" and worry about not getting your way.
|
||
|
||
Mad because the Moderator doesn't let you enter msgs about the
|
||
price of candy in the tech echo? Electing a new one won't make
|
||
much difference unless you all want a candy echo instead. So
|
||
start a candy echo.
|
||
|
||
All this aside it is my personal opinion that we can survive
|
||
within the constraints of the most recent cut of Echopol and the
|
||
newest proposed WorldPol/Policy5. But as we jump into the fray,
|
||
perhaps a little fairy tale might be useful...

FidoNet: 1:231/70.0
|
||
|
||
CIFC BBS List
|
||
|
||
We here in net 231 have the opurtunity to participate
|
||
in a new idea using FidoNet(r) technology. It's called the
|
||
Central Indiana FidoNet Cooperative BBS List. It enables
|
||
users to submit entries into a large database of BBS's using
|
||
questionares for Qbbs/Ra/Sbbs.
|
||
|
||
This idea was conceived of by a person name Casey
|
||
Schaphorst of 1:231/240.0 (Falx Cerebri Amiga). He wrote
|
||
the program that processes updates and publishes the lists.
|
||
So far, the program creates three files. They are:
|
||
LOCALBBS.ASC, SHORTBBS.ASC, and CIFC_RPT.ASC. All or which
|
||
are sent out by the host node of the list.
|
||
|
||
According to the date that this was written, there are
|
||
seven things that a user may do to create an update to the
|
||
list: Add, Change, Verify, Describe, Link A Subheading,
|
||
Restore, and Delete. Like a said before, the updates are
|
||
generated by the Qbbs/Ra/Sbbs questionare languages. There
|
||
is a seperate questionare for each type of update. Around
|
||
6:00am to 7:00am a batch file runs that will check to see
|
||
if any updates have been made. If some were found, it will
|
||
rename them, zip them up, and using a robot program, will
|
||
send it to the host node (231/240).
|
||
|
||
Right now.. It doesn't seem that the CIFC BBS List will
|
||
get any farther than Central Indiana. The list is only limted
|
||
to what we have right now. Hopefully it will expand to
|
||
incorperate other nets around Central Indiana.
|
||
|
||
I would like to know if there is anyone else that has
|
||
experimented with something like this. Please feel free
|
||
to netmail me or something. I'm at 1:231/70.0.
