EDITORIAL
|
||
=================================================================
|
||
|
||
Seems to be another one of those FidoNet things going on in Region
|
||
16 this week. The details follow in 3 articles.
|
||
|
||
The holidays are about to hit again so this Issue has plenty of
|
||
those annoying ASCII Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's comix. We
|
||
never did get anything for Ramadan or Kwaanza although I picked up
|
||
some nice .gifs of the latter for future reference in my web page
|
||
work. [grin]
|
||
|
||
Speaking of web pages, the FidoNews page is about to hit 8,000
|
||
visitors this week. Be sure to sign the Guestbook if you stop by. And
|
||
don't forget the webring!
|
||
|
||
From all of me to all of you...
|
||
|
||
HAPPY EVERYTHING this holiday season!!
|
||
|
||
[and did you feel the Winter Solstice slide by a couple hours ago?]

Subject: Good Stuff! Magazine's advertisement
|
||
|
||
Hello, Christopher! :)
|
||
|
||
Well, I send you this message with an advertisement I wish you
|
||
included i FidoNews...
|
||
|
||
It's about an electronic magazine about programming I want to
|
||
create.... its name will be "Good Stuff Magazine", and will be
|
||
published in Spanish and in English...
|
||
|
||
Well, here's the advertisement:
|
||
|
||
- - - - - - (cut here) - - - - - - -
|
||
Hello All , hope you are having a nice day!!
|
||
|
||
I want to create an electronic magazine about programming, and I think
|
||
it would be great if the staff were composed by people from all over
|
||
the world..... It will be published in English and in Spanish....
|
||
(English and Spanish editions) Its name will be "Good Stuff!
|
||
Magazine", and will be 100% FREEWARE.
|
||
|
||
Is it important to be a genius to write articles for this magazine?
|
||
No, of course it's not... (If you're not sure, please have a look at
|
||
me!! :) )
|
||
|
||
The only things you must have are: knowledge about the topic you're
|
||
going to write about (obviously), and (may be) pleasure (or something
|
||
like that :) ) to computers programming ....
|
||
The programming language, topic and everything else will be your
|
||
choice... And of course, you can take your holidays whenever you want
|
||
to... :)
|
||
|
||
So, if you are interested in writing articles, I'll be pleased to hear
|
||
it from you....
|
||
|
||
It's also very important that Sysops from all over the world wanted to
|
||
be "official distro sites". So, if you support a BBS, and want to be a
|
||
distro site, please let me know it.....
|
||
|
||
Of course, if you want to put the magazine in your web page, or FTP,
|
||
I'd also be pleased to hear it from you....
|
||
|
||
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! :)

Chris,
|
||
|
||
I don't feel an overwhelming need to air this net's dirty laundry in
|
||
public, so I have not submitted anything to Fidonews. However, I
|
||
received your CC to me acknowledging someone else's submission, so I
|
||
would appreciate it if any such submission was accompanied by this.
|
||
It was sent by netmail to the indicated list of recipients and also
|
||
posted by me to NESYSOP, the Region 16 sysop echo.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
|
||
|
||
Please be advised that Bill Whitehouse has no officially recognized
|
||
standing to conduct what he terms an "election," that the results of
|
||
his poll are unlikely to be taken seriously, and that you should not
|
||
allow yourself to be fooled into thinking otherwise. You are, of
|
||
course, free to answer his message and to participate in his poll, but
|
||
it is important that you understand that he is grossly misrepresenting
|
||
the significance of it.
|
||
|
||
As you all know, this net recently concluded an official election for
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-51 Page 5 22 Dec 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
the Network Co-ordinator position, and that I was re-elected without
|
||
opposition. That election was properly conducted by the Fidonet
|
||
Regional Co-ordinator responsible for New England, Jerry Schwartz
|
||
(1:16/0). I encourage you to contact him if you have any questions.
|
||
|
||
Subsequent to the official election, Bill Whitehouse seems to have
|
||
decided to wage a protest against my unopposed re-election. He has
|
||
filed protests with the Regional Co-ordinator for New England and with
|
||
the Zone Co-ordinator for North America. To the best of my knowledge,
|
||
none of these protests have been validated. I find his actions to be,
|
||
frankly, puzzling.
|
||
|
||
Finally, I want to reassure you that the purported list of eligible
|
||
voters in Bill Whitehouse's message is not accurate, omitting several
|
||
nodes. Perhaps he has decided to run his private "election" under
|
||
different eligibility rules than the official election, but I prefer
|
||
not to speculate too much upon the subject of why he does what he
|
||
does.
|
||
|
||
As for his claim to "keep Rhode Island Fido afloat," one thing I am
|
||
quite certain about is that this sort of political tactic from Bill
|
||
Whitehouse, designed deliberately to mislead, is among the most
|
||
destructive possible.

Election for NC 1:323
|
||
by Jerry Schwartz, Region 16 Coordinator 1:142/928
|
||
|
||
I conducted an election for Network Coordinator of Zone 1 Net 323 in
|
||
September of 1997. The rules were delivered by crashmail as both a
|
||
netmail message and a file attached text file to every eligible voter
|
||
(effectively every sysop in Net 323 who wasn't down) several days
|
||
before the nomination period began. The nomination period, originally
|
||
intended to be 10 days long (in order to encompass two weekends), was
|
||
subsequently extended by a week due to a problem with the nodelist
|
||
which might have made it difficult to contact me. I announced this
|
||
schedule change in a netmail message to every eligible voter.
|
||
|
||
In order to make the election as wide open as possible, self-
|
||
nomination was allowed, and no seconds were required. Anyone who
|
||
wanted to run could simply inform me by netmail. This was clearly
|
||
stated in the rules.
|
||
|
||
By the end of the extended nominating period, only one name had been
|
||
put forth: Craig Healy, 1:323/120, nominated Mike Bilow (the
|
||
incumbent). There being only one candidate, he (Mike Bilow) was
|
||
declared the winner according to the election rules.
|
||
|
||
A single (superfluous) vote was in fact cast, also for Mike Bilow, by
|
||
a third eligible voter; he has not publicly come forward, so I will
|
||
not reveal his name out of respect for his privacy. I will state that
|
||
it was neither Mike Bilow nor Craig Healy.
|
||
|
||
The results of this election stand.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FIDONET FROM VIP BBS !
|
||
By Nicholas F. Sacca, [1:371/51/Msg.Co@f51.n371.z1.fidonet.org]
|
||
|
||
Hello all! This is my first ever submission to FidoNews. so please
|
||
bear with me. :-)
|
||
|
||
First of all, VIP BBS here in North Fort Myers, Florida, has been
|
||
proudly subscribing to FidoNews for many months now! However, with
|
||
the valuable assistance of Jim Barchuk, we finally within the past two
|
||
months or so been able to UUDECODE the Newsletter with UUEXE540.ZIP
|
||
file from Jim's old Web Site, http://www.10mb.com/Jbarchuk/!
|
||
|
||
As Message Coordinator of VIP BBS, I have the Newsletter set-up in
|
||
one of our Local Message Bases for our Users to read and enjoy.
|
||
|
||
I also have the Backbone files, such as BACKBONE.NA(.NO), BOFAQxxx.
|
||
TXT, and BACKSTAT.NA available to our Users to learn more about
|
||
FidoNet. Additionally, I have the History of the FidoNet Project
|
||
on our BBS as well to give our Users an historical perspective on
|
||
FIDONEWS 14-51 Page 8 22 Dec 1997
|
||
|
||
|
||
FidoNet as seen in the eyes of Fidonet Founder, Tom Jennings. I give
|
||
credit to Southern Star BBS for my source for the BACKBONE Files being
|
||
their for me to D/L each week, and I thank John Souvestre, for that!
|
||
:-)
|
||
|
||
Next, I want to wish the Z1EC Elections well. It looks like a very
|
||
competitive slate shaping up for those eligible FidoNet Members to
|
||
vote on when the time comes. The chosen person for Z1EC will have
|
||
their hands full with the job. GOOD LUCK! :-)
|
||
|
||
Finally, on behalf of VIP BBS and Staff listed below, we wish everyone

|
||
25 Ways to Annoy Your Roommate During Christmas
|
||
|
||
1. Claim you were a Christmas tree in your former life. If s/he tries
|
||
to bring one into the room, scream bloody murder and trash on the
|
||
floor.
|
||
|
||
2. Go to the mall with your roommate and sit on Santa's lap. Refuse
|
||
to get off.
|
||
|
||
3. Wear a Santa suit all the time. Deny you're wearing it.
|
||
|
||
4. Sit in a corner in the fetal position rocking back and forth
|
||
chanting, "Santa Claus is coming to town, Santa Claus is coming to
|
||
town..."
|
||

Subj: IREX echo
|
||
|
||
Chris, could you please put this in Fidonews as an announcement?
|
||
|
||
---begin announcement---
|
||
|
||
Introducing the IREX echo and mailing list.
|
||
|
||
This echo is dedicated to the discussion of the FTN <=> Internet
|
||
Transport and Gateway software, Internet Rex, written by Charles
|
||
Cruden. The Internet Rex web site is located at http://plaza.v-
|
||
wave.com/InternetRex and the FTP site
|
||
for Internet Rex is ftp://xanadu.v-wave.com/irex/ .
|
||
|
||
This echo is a public support medium for users of the wide beta and
|
||
full releases of Internet Rex. The author of Internet Rex as well as
|
||
a lot of the closed beta team frequent the echo and will welcome any
|
||
questions or problems with the software that you might encounter.
|
||
|
||
To access the echo, you may use one of the following methods:
|
||
|
||
1) Subscribe to the internet mailing list version of the echo - send a
|
||
message to listserv@gen.lcrnet.org with SUBSCRIBE IREX in it and you
|
||
will be connected. With this method, one will receive the echo from
|
||
the email address 'irex@gen. lcrnet.org' and to post to the echo you
|
||
would simply post to that address.
|
||
|
||
2) Set up an echomail feed via the internet using Fido2Int, Irex,
|
||
Transx or Watergate mail tunneling with Steve Steffler. The echo uses
|
||
Fidonet node numbers, but they are not required. For more
|
||
information, contact Steve via email to steve@gen.lcrnet.org or with
|
||
netmail to 1:342/1022 in Fidonet and 111: 1403/14 in Sysop's Technet.
|
||
|
||
3) Request your echomail hub (or whoever you can connect to for mail)
|
||
to obtain the echo from Steve, or from their most efficient source.
|
||
|
||
4) Direct mailer polls to Steve's Fido node, 1:342/1022. For a
|
||
session level password and to be configured for this contact Steve in
|
||
any of the ways mentioned in number 2.
|
||
|
||
Thank you for considering participating in this technical support and
|
||
discussion forum for Internet Rex, one of the up and coming softwares
|
||
of the future! :)
