EDITORIAL

=================================================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
I had hoped to present an interview with a fellow FidoNet sysop for
|
||
this issue, but the meeting didn't quite turn out as anticipated.
|
||
The notes I did gather were not sufficient to really turn the meeting
|
||
into an interview, so instead we simply enjoyed a break in the bad
|
||
weather plaguing the western coast of Zone 1.
|
||
|
||
And I heartily recommend St. Stan's brewpub in Modesto, California,
|
||
the home of Net 208...on a Sunday afternoon, it is quiet, relaxing
|
||
and home to some good quality microbrewery production.
|
||
|
||
One point in particular was a current issue over privacy in FidoNet;
|
||
it would seem that many have the idea that you "must" have something
|
||
"to hide" if you use encryption in netmail.
|
||
|
||
Few seem willing to understand that encryption is a part of your life
|
||
everyday...credit cards, account numbers, personal identification...
|
||
and that the personal use of encryption merely enhances the security
|
||
of keeping that information confidential.
|
||
|
||
There are many in Zone 2 who can also testify on the usefulness of
|
||
personal encryption in getting and keeping free minds and spirits.
|
||
|
||
With that, a message of interest was submitted by a sysop in the
|
||
"Zone 7" area as to the view of FidoNet from within the confines of
|
||
the former "Iron Curtain" countries. I hope to see this, as well as
|
||
more news of the rest of FidoNet.
|
||
|
||
One thing that I have noted in several past issues is a call for
|
||
articles and submissions from other Zones for publication here...and
|
||
with very mixed results.
|
||
|
||
I do note several Regions have opted to translate issues in the
|
||
language of the Region...but it helps more to actually _have_ the
|
||
information to share with others, so it can be published at large to
|
||
all of FidoNet. Just because it is an event in your area does not
|
||
mean that no one else is interested.
|
||
|
||
As an example, the FidoNet European convention information is posted
|
||
in this issue as an example of what can be presented here...
|
||
|
||
And yet...no one on the convention committee posted a copy to the
|
||
FidoNews for announcement by press time, not even the press agent.
|
||
|
||
This is _your_ FidoNews, this is _your_ FidoNet...if you don't use
|
||
it, who will?
|
||
|
||
In other news, RanD posts another informational tidbit on the lack
|
||
of correct information in the Nodelist...which does have a point,
|
||
even if it does annoy people.
|
||
|
||
Doc Logger returns, of course, and looks to be seeing the light a
|
||
FIDONEWS 15-20 Page 2 18 May 1998
|
||
|
||
|
||
bit at a time...or, at least, getting close enough to see it is a
|
||
light after all.
|
||
|
||
And the fun begins in FidoNet once again...

BURY THE DEAD PLEASE *C's! The stench in Fidonet is bad enought!
|
||
by RanD, 1:141/1030
|
||
|
||
The following nodes have been marked down for at least the
|
||
following nodelists; nodelist.121, nodelist.128 and nodelist.135.
|
||
Do you think that our illustrious and glorious *C structure could
|
||
find the time to do the job they were appointed to do and cull
|
||
the dead wood into either HOLD piles or failing that perform the
|
||
ultimate aztec sacrifice and exorcise them from the nodelist. I
|
||
mean, gimme a break, we mark unpublished nodes as down? Private
|
||
is already not reachable by the fidonet grunt sysop. These
|
||
granite tombstone markers etched with the names and nodes of
|
||
sysops who have fallen in the holy war on the internet deserved
|
||
FIDONEWS 15-20 Page 7 18 May 1998
|
||
|
||
|
||
an appropriate interment. Are the unpublised ones the tomb of
|
||
the unknown sysops? These 678 nodes are either gone or on hold.
|
||
What the *C structure doesn't want to admit, is that their
|
||
administrative-node-to-grunt-syso-node ratio is soaring as they
|
||
shore up the nodelist with the dead bodies of former nodes.
|
||
Fidonet is dying. The *C's should have a heart and bury the
|
||
bodies as P4 says to, mainly 2 weeks after they are marked down.
|
||
They need to stop the pattern of self delusion that the nodelist
|
||
is still big and that one day, like the prodigal child, sysops
|
||
will return home to the nodelist. Dozens of these nodes have
|
||
been marked down for many months and a few for years!

Dear Editorbeing,
|
||
|
||
This article is submitted by Doc Logger(163/110) who was
|
||
still puzzled over His Zorchness' obtuse references in the
|
||
previous Snooz. Mostly, Doc was puzzled over why anyone
|
||
would announce that they read "Atlas Shrugged" in 7 hours.
|
||
Is this an Olympic event now and will World Records be
|
||
benchmarked against how long it takes to read Pynchon's
|
||
"Gravity's Rainbow"? We should be told.
|
||
|
||
Roll da flic, Zorch....
|
||
|
||
Dear Reverend Visage,
|
||
|
||
Bad craziness abounds. One of Satti's fartcatchers, a fellow
|
||
named Bowerman sent a stern message to someone who doesn't
|
||
post in the ZIC echo suggesting that "they might want to
|
||
take a two week holiday." I know that were the message
|
||
addressed to me, I'd have declined the invitation. I'd have
|
||
to borrow a sampling from His Zorchness' paranoia and
|
||
speculate that poor Bob Satti was getting miffed at being
|
||
called a moron in the elflord echo.
|
||
|
||
Naturally, it wouldn't occur to Satti that he might want to
|
||
deal with the root of the problem with nodes migrating to
|
||
net163 because they were abused by their NCs. Bob "noted"
|
||
Satti, being a genius, chose the path where he figured that
|
||
he could browbeat net163 into sharing his totalist
|
||
nightmare. Hint for Blonde Bobs Again: Go away, get lost,
|
||
leave net163 alone and go play with your peer, Bob Kohl.
|
||
Peefour isn't now and never was the law in Fidonet. No
|
||
matter how many times Satti snivels that he is bound by
|
||
policy it still doesn't give it any greater jurisprudent
|
||
weight.
|
||
|
||
Satti wasted his entire week's worth of 46 words by whining
|
||
that if people stopped insulting him, that he could actually
|
||
answer questions instead of using his lame "noted" macro.
|
||
He's been asked several times a week by nodes in Region10 to
|
||
do something about Kohl's excesses and incompetence by
|
||
hasn't yet mustered enough working neurons to come up with a
|
||
solution. It strikes me as a real simple issue: ask Kohl to
|
||
seek an electoral mandate from the sysops in Region10. While
|
||
that is happening, get Belcke to obtain a sysop level
|
||
mandate from his region as well.
|
||
|
||
For my Chautauqua this week I've chosen a quote from
|
||
Francois Mauriac's "Viper's Tangle" which should give me a
|
||
good running start to answer some of the questions which
|
||
have been posed to me in email concerning last week's
|
||
offering in the Snooz:
|
||
FIDONEWS 15-20 Page 21 18 May 1998
|
||
|
||
|
||
"Is it possible for us...to observe only one side of a
|
||
person who shares our life? Can it be that, out of habit, we
|
||
pick and choose among the things they say and the things
|
||
they do, retaining only that which nurtures our grievances
|
||
and perpetuates our resentment? Have we a fatal tendency to
|
||
simplify other people - to eliminate all those features
|
||
which might be regarded as extenuating, which might render
|
||
more human the caricature of them which our hatred needs for
|
||
its justification?"
|
||
|
||
My simple answer is yes. I do indeed selectively choose
|
||
those things that offend me and give them more stature than
|
||
simple context would normally allow. This becomes for me an
|
||
ends justifies the means sort of argument. My premise begins
|
||
where Fidonet began - as a truly noble experiment in
|
||
communication that was unfettered by anything other than
|
||
minimal levels of cooperation with respect to technical
|
||
connectivity. This may seem trite, but Fidonet represented a
|
||
great hope that communication couldn't be shackled by
|
||
bureaucracy or regulatory intrusion, or commercial conquest.
|
||
Fidonet represented in practice the concept that people are
|
||
free to associate with whom they choose, on the terms that
|
||
are mutually agreeable.
|
||
|
||
The transformation from that noble dream into the current
|
||
nightmare is tragic. It offends me deeply as it ought to
|
||
offend anyone who has the presence of mind to give credence
|
||
to the worth of their freedom. It is a long, long way from
|
||
that noble dream to where we have cretins asserting that
|
||
nodes must conform to geographic boxes where they can be
|
||
tormented by local despots. It is an equally distant remove
|
||
from the original concept to have a small coterie of
|
||
elflords presuming to "rule" Fidonet from positions where
|
||
owe more to positional heredity than merit.
|
||
|
||
I must go Visage, my netmail runneth over, and for a
|
||
pleasant change it isn't entirely composed on insane
|
||
speculations about His Zorchness.
