The ZEC1 Election got an extension due to the extensive mail outages
|
||
produced by recent weather in the Great White North and other points
|
||
south and east. Though no official notice was received here for
|
||
inclusion, I've snatched a few tidbits from here and there and stuck
|
||
them here without consultation. [grin]
|
||
|
||
I also put some SPAM here which could be found in most of the Backbone
|
||
Echos I carry here and probably everywhere else. When will folks learn
|
||
to use the resources available? FidoNews - it's not just for inane
|
||
ASCII art. [snicker]
|
||
|
||
The death of Cliff Harrold in Zone 2 is further subject of tribute in
|
||
today's edition. Treasure your cyberfriends while they're here is the
|
||
message. We ARE a community!
|
||
|
||
There is also an update to the ARGUS info posted in 1501 and some info
|
||
from the 'new' FTSC.

|

Hello, Christopher!
|
||
|
||
In the first FidoNews issue of 1998 (BTW, Happy New Year :) one guy
|
||
mentioned ARGUS, our russian mailer which can make FTN connections via
|
||
IP. But he probably doesn't know that Argus uses protocol named
|
||
'BINKP' which was implemented first in BinkD mailer. BinkD was
|
||
developed also in Russia, in Magadan. (it's cold there :) BinkD can
|
||
carry out FTN sessions only via IP and is available for Win95, WinNT,
|
||
OS/2 and Unix. Moreover, it is available in sources, one can compile
|
||
it for anything he wants.
|
||
|
||
Check http://www.magadan.su/~maloff/binkd
|
||
|
||
I just can add that BinkD carries 99% of our Russian bone. ;)
|
||
|
||
Have a good day, Oleg {- [Team OS/2].

|

|

Hi all.
|
||
|
||
I kept a rough tally of candidate questionnaires (not individual
|
||
questions). I saw 9 posted. They were from: Gronke, Hallford,
|
||
Simmons, Mitchell, Roberts, Whitaker, Santos, Souvestre and Kershew.
|
||
|
||
Of these 9, I saw this many answered by each of the candidates:
|
||
|
||
Jim Balcom 8
|
||
David Calafrancesco 9
|
||
Wayne DeLisle Sr 4 <== Storm?
|
||
John Glinski 9
|
||
Bob Kohl 2 <==
|
||
Mike Luther 9
|
||
Jeff Smith 6
|
||
|
||
Not bad, actually. All answered 6 or more except for two candidates.
|
||
Wayne's link was down part of the time due to the storm so perhaps he
|
||
is still catching up. Bob Kohl, however, answered only 2.
|
||
|
||
Thanks to those of you who took the time to respond.

Subj: Announcement of FTSC decisions
|
||
|
||
Hello All.
|
||
|
||
Based on public input and consensus in FTSC_PUBLIC and votes among
|
||
members in FTSC, the FTSC have decided the following:
|
||
|
||
1. The numbering scheme for FTS documents will be grouped as in my
|
||
proposal a while ago, i.e. FTS-XYYY.
|
||
|
||
2. Standards that are not directly Fidonet Standards (such as msgbase
|
||
formats), will be collected and maintained by the FTSC, but with a
|
||
different prefix. This prefix is FRS (Fidonet Related Standard).
|
||
|
||
3. The prefix for both FTS and FRS proposals will be FSP (Fidonet
|
||
Standard Proposal), and proposals that don't get accepted will both
|
||
get the prefix FRL (Fidonet Reference Library).
|
||
|
||
4. The old FSC documents keep their FSC prefix and will NOT be renamed
|
||
with the FRL prefix.
|
||
|
||
5. The "Key words to indicate requirement levels" document has been
|
||
adopted as FTA-1006. The issue of whether it applies to itself has
|
||
been clarified in the revision that will be posted later.
|
||
|
||
6. The Public Domain requirement of FTA-1001 has been replaced with
|
||
the "Intellectual Property Rights" document, which has been adopted
|
||
as FTA-1007. This means that the FTSC can now accept both Public
|
||
Domain and copyrighted documents. For copyrighted documents, the
|
||
copyright holder (or a representative) must give the FTSC a license
|
||
to use, distribute and modify it. See the document for details.
|
||
This is basically the same license as that used by the IESG
|
||
(Internet Engineering Steering Group, the internet counterpart to
|
||
the FTSC) to accept documents for RFC's and STD's (RFC2026).

NET254, ENET.SYSOP and REGION25 regarding the death of Cliff Harrold
|

(former RC 2:25). Could you please put them in the first available

Folks,
|
||
|
||
I'm afraid I am the bearer of some deeply saddening news :-(
|
||
|
||
I have just learned that Cliff Harrold passed away suddenly today.
|
||
|
||
Details are sketchy at the moment, but I am in touch with his family,
|
||
and will pass on any further information if they ask me to.
|
||
|
||
At this moment in time Cliff's system is still up, and one of his sons
|
||
is familiar with the running of it - however, it would obviously be
|
||
insensitive of us to presume that the system will be left on for any
|
||
great length of time, so, as a temporary measure, Peter Burnett and I
|
||
are offering our systems as standby feeds in order to take the weight
|
||
off 2:442/403 as quickly as is practical. Peter and I carry the full
|
||
backbone, and have sufficient disk space etc to cope with any
|
||
FIDONEWS 15-03 Page 7 19 Jan 1998
|
||
|
||
|
||
additional feeds that may be requested, and I'm sure there will be
|
||
others who will step in and make a similar offer.

Hi All!
|
||
|
||
I have just learned that the REC Cliff Harrold has Passed away
|
||
:-(
|
||
|
||
I have been feeding from Cliff's MNL for nearly 5 years now and I
|
||
considered him to be a very good friend. We often spoke for ages on
|
||
the phone. I am deeply shocked that this has happened. I was talking
|
||
to him only last night on the phone and everything seemed to be ok.
|
||
|
||
He will be deeply missed by many.

Dear Friends & Colleagues!
|
||
|
||
It is with great sadness, and disbelief, that I have to tell you all
|
||
that Cliff Harrold, R25EC. Has passed away from our circle! 8-(
|
||
FIDONEWS 15-03 Page 8 19 Jan 1998
|
||
|
||
|
||
I only started to work with Cliff a couple of years ago. Our first
|
||
contacts were not always easy. I felt he needed to be more assertive ,
|
||
and he rose to the challenge.
|
||
|
||
My appreciation of him grew, to a good working relationship, and, over
|
||
many a silly dispute, he proved an excellent advisor, and anchor man.
|
||
|
||
He was instrumental in solving my dispute with Z2EC last year, and a
|
||
cornerstone in the foundation of Net 258.
|
||
|
||
He also worked selflessly, and enthusiastically to forward the
|
||
echomail distribution in the UK. His enthusiasm, and down to earth
|
||
approach, coupled with his willingness to go that 'extra mile' to
|
||
achieve an acceptable result to all sides will be sorely missed. His
|
||
devotion to his job was unquestionable, even in the face of a
|
||
'dwindling' fidonet. Cliff was always there in the background, making
|
||
sure things 'worked' on the echomail front.
|
||
|
||
This is the fourth sad passing of a fellow sysop I have had to
|
||
witness, and it only goes to amplify the mortality of us all.
|
||
|
||
At this time, let us not argue about silly things, over moderator
|
||
elections etc, etc. Let us all reflect on Cliff's success in fidonet!.
|
||
All that he stood for, and all that was/is good in this hobby we
|
||
share. Let us all work selflessly to put our hobby back where it
|
||
belongs in the future, not as some second class refuge to Internet.
|
||
That's what Cliff would have asked of us, were he here to say it
|
||
himself.
|
||
|
||
Lastly, when you read this message - spare a minute of silence in
|
||
respect for him! Then think where are you coming from, and going to. I
|
||
hope Cliff's last Journey from this world, will be one of
|
||
enlightenment, and fulfillment!
|
||
|
||
Success is a Journey!
|
||
|
||
it is not a quantity, you cannot measure it!
|
||
|
||
In Fidonet, Cliff achieved reasonable success!. I only hope his
|
||
successor can aspire to what he has put in place.
|
||

Folks,
|
||
|
||
Cliff Harrold, our friend and colleague, will be laid to rest this
|
||
coming Friday, 16th January.
|
||
|
||
The party will leave the Harrold's home a little before 1pm, to make
|
||
the 1 hour journey to the crematorium at Narberth, Carmarthenshire.
|
||
|
||
Mrs. Harrold has spoken to me regarding the suggestion that we club
|
||
together to make a collection for some flowers for Cliff's funeral.
|
||
She would prefer that we make a donation to a charity, and will let me
|
||
know over the next few days which one she would like to nominate.
|
||
|
||
I suspect that we will each be able to make a donation direct to the
|
||
charity, if we so wish, but Billy Connelly (2:258/1) has very kindly
|
||
offered to act as a collection point, for those who wish to contribute
|
||
that way. I will leave it up to Billy to post any details, and will
|
||
let you know the name of the nominated charity in due course.
|
||
|
||
Regards,
|
||
|
||
Dave

||
Dear Fidonet Friends,
|
||
it is with a heavy heart, and a great deal of
|
||
sadness that I find myself writing this message, it is something that
|
||
I thought I would never have to do.
|
||
|
||
After being informed of the passing away this week of the REC, Cliff
|
||
Harrold, I can say that I am still in a state of shock, and I am
|
||
mourning the loss of a good friend.
|
||
|
||
I first got to know Cliff when he started running his Midnight line,
|
||
and over the years since then we became good friends.
|
||
|
||
I was very suspicious of his motives for becoming REC, and I can quite
|
||
safely say that he had proved me totally wrong, and did the job with a
|
||
vigor and dedication to an amateur hobby, that I have only ever seen a
|
||
few other people aspire to.
|
||
|
||
Cliff impressed me very much with his dedication, and after I became
|
||
Z2EC I found out just how hard he did work on behalf of fidonet.
|
||
Almost daily we would be on the phone to each other quietly behind the
|
||
scenes, sorting out feeds, broken links, and general EC problems, in
|
||
fact cliffs phone number has appeared on my bills more times than any
|
||
one else's, it wasn't because he wanted or needed help either, its
|
||
because he was dedicated, and a total perfectionist, if there was the
|
||
slightest problem, he would be there, quietly, behind the scenes
|
||
trying to sort it out for the good of the network.
|
||
|
||
What many of you will not have seen is that tireless dedication,
|
||
sometimes into the wee small hours, that lead to the prevention of
|
||
problems that many of you would not have seen, he corrected them,
|
||
sorted them out, and dealt with them whilst they where minor niggles,
|
||
and long before they became major issues.
|
||
|
||
Over the last two years, I have also become involved with Cliff, in a
|
||
few projects that were not Fidonet related, and again he impressed me
|
||
with the same dedication and helpfulness that he showed me in fidonet.
|
||
|
||
I can safely say that Cliff was the BEST, MOST DEDICATED and Caring
|
||
REC that it has been my pleasure to work with, and having met him
|
||
several times I can also safely say that he was a friend, and one of
|
||
this worlds truly "Good guys".
|
||
|
||
I shall miss his daily phone banter, I shall miss his friendship, and
|
||
Fidonet has lost one of the most dedicated people I have known.
|
||
|
||
Cliff, if somehow you could read this, then I know what you did for
|
||
fidonet, and I appreciate your efforts more than you will ever know,
|
||
if there is a heaven, I know that it will benefit from your
|
||
dedication. Goodbye matey, you will be surely missed.

ZCC-PUBLIC .. a peek in the ZC-kitchen
|
||
By Ward Dossche, 2:292/854
|
||
ZC/2
|
||
|
||
As of today (Jan. 16, 1998) I have started to crosspost all my
|
||
messages from the ZCC-conference to a new conference entitled:
|
||
|
||
ZCC-PUBLIC
|
||
|
||
This conference will be offered free to all and available for
|
||
worldwide distribution.
|
||
|
||
Messages not originating at my keyboard are, of course, not
|
||
crossposted.
|
||
|
||
All ZC's are invited to connect to it and post their own messages in
|
||
it.
|
||
|
||
Upon request however and for their comfort I can also install a robot
|
||
to automagically take care of it.
|
||
|
||
The idea for a parallel-conference, instead of allowing link-ins to
|
||
ZCC who would be abused anyway, is Alwyn's. That way the ZC's wouldn't
|
||
be bothered by possible background-noise.
