At What Age Maturity?
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
The Halls of Fidonet are quiet tonight. The Fido Elders have
|
||
retired to their Chambers and have not issued Pronouncements for a
|
||
long time now. The Grunt Sysops are peacefully tilling their fields
|
||
and don't seem in revolt at the moment. Indeed, the ElfLords seem
|
||
to have dropped their agenda of atrocities. The mail movers
|
||
haven't shot any stars out of the constellation; the splintering
|
||
into more backbones seems arrested.
|
||
|
||
All in all, it's a slow news day...
|
||
|
||
But over in the Z1C echo, Stewart Hornsberger comes to our rescue,
|
||
fending off several of Fido's more "experienced" sysops in an
|
||
argument over maturity. Though I haven't examined all the messages
|
||
related to the string, it appears that Stewart revealed his age of
|
||
19 on his web page, and was subsequently called down for
|
||
"immaturity" in some of his subsequent posting.
|
||
|
||
Whether the charge is accurate or not I couldn't tell you, as I
|
||
didn't read the original messages. But I'm familiar with Stewart's
|
||
posting in other conversations and know that he's given to
|
||
passionate and confrontational exchanges which some associate with
|
||
immaturity. Mr. Hornsberger mainly makes the point that maturity
|
||
cannot be determined by age alone, and cites events in his life
|
||
which would contribute to maturity at an early age, such as passing
|
||
newspapers to purchase his first computers rather than being born
|
||
with a keyboard in his lap.
|
||
|
||
So at what age is one sufficiently mature to post in a Fidonet echo?
|
||
The debate will undoubtedly continue to rage in the Z1C conference
|
||
as I don't expect to resolve it here. However, I expect to make a
|
||
few observations which may fuel the conversation... or, more likely,
|
||
be disregarded as the ramblings of an editor trying to make
|
||
something of a slow news day.
|
||
|
||
Nineteen isn't such a bad age. Though the age seems far away to me
|
||
at the age of 53, I seem to recall that I had most of my language
|
||
skills developed by that age and had a good general idea of how
|
||
people interacted. While I've got to admit that subsequent life
|
||
experience has modified my approach to things, I believe that at the
|
||
age of 19 I was sufficiently mature to enter conversations as an
|
||
adult. But then, I wasn't online then... I was nineteen in the
|
||
sixties and hardly anyone was online then! Especially, I wasn't
|
||
interacting in a hobby which has somewhat passed its prime and whose
|
||
participants tend to middle age rather than youth.
|
||
|
||
To Stewart I can only offer this observation: if you post in a
|
||
confrontational style, folks are going to look at you at the age of
|
||
nineteen and say that the style is obviously a sign of immaturity.
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-16 Page 2 17 Apr 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
If *I*, at the age of 52, post in that same confrontational style,
|
||
folks are going to conclude that it's obviously the sign of some
|
||
mid-life crisis. If Warren Bonner posts in that same
|
||
confrontational style, folks will conclude that it's a sign of
|
||
dotage.
|
||
|
||
Posting passionate messages arguing your maturity probably won't
|
||
change folks perceptions... it's kinda like holding your breath
|
||
until they see you as mature.
|
||
|
||
To the more experienced participants in the discussion, I'll offer
|
||
this observation: Like it or not, Stewart is the future of Fidonet.
|
||
Any plan which will accomplish growth in Fido is going to have to
|
||
involve younger people - the middle aged folks are already here :)
|
||
|
||
Imagine... the future of Fido is in the hands of a sysop who goes by
|
||
the handle of Black Death. Kinda scary, eh?

FOTI's new website!
|
||
Bobby Queen
|
||
|
||
Folks as some of you may already know Simon Slater has stepped down
|
||
as the webmaster of the FOTI (FidoNet on the Internet) site. I made
|
||
an offer to take over the site and Simon agreed. The site's already
|
||
be relocated to a new site at http://foti.webjump.com. I've already
|
||
fixed all of the mail links etc & I'm now going to start on the list
|
||
of all the echomail echos. The previous sites listing has links to
|
||
any websites set up for the echos and email links to the moderators.
|
||
I am going to get my email links from the elist echo list but if you
|
||
have a webpage setup for your echo then you can send that info to me
|
||
at foti@shelby.net. Any other suggestions can be sent to me at the
|
||
same address.

Ah, yes, "divorce," from the Latin word meaning "to rip out a man's
|
||
genitals through his wallet." -Robin Williams
|
||
|
||
Women complain about premenstrual syndrome, but I think of it as the
|
||
only time of the month that I can be myself. -Roseanne
|
||
|
||
Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place. -Billy
|
||
Crystal
|
||
|
||
I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was,
|
||
'You'll never find anyone like me again!' I'm thinking, "I should
|
||
hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you?"
|
||
-Larry Miller
|
||
|
||
If you want to say it with flowers, a single rose says: "I'm cheap!"
|
||
-Delta Burke
|
||
|
||
You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you
|
||
this look that says, "My God, you're right! I never would've thought
|
||
of that!" - Dave Barry
|
||
|
||
According to a new survey, women say they feel more comfortable
|

undressing in front of men than they do undressing in front of other
|
||
women. They say that women are too judgmental, where, of course, men
|
||
are just grateful. - Jay Leno
|
||
|
||
I am not the boss of my house. I don't know when I lost it. I don't

know if I ever had it. But I have seen the boss's job and I do not
|
||
want it. - Bill Cosby
|
||
|
||
In the last couple of weeks I have seen the ads for the Wonder Bra.
|
||
Is that really a problem in this country? Men not paying enough
|
||
attention to women's breasts?- Jay Leno

Stupid People
|
||
Thanks to Roy Reed
|
||
|
||
Stupid people should have to wear signs that just say, "I'm Stupid".
|
||
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you? You wouldn't ask them
|
||
anything. It would be like, "Excuse me...oops, never mind. I didn't
|
||
see your sign."
|
||
|
||
It's like before my wife and I moved. Our house was full of boxes
|
||
and there was a U-Haul truck in our driveway. My friend comes over
|
||
and says "Hey, you moving?" "Nope. We just pack our stuff up once or
|
||
twice a week to see how many boxes it takes. Here's your sign."
|
||
|
||
A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine, we
|
||
pulled his boat into the dock, I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of
|
||
bass and this idiot on the dock goes, "Hey, y'all catch all them
|
||
fish?" "Nope - Talked 'em into giving up. Here's your sign."
|
||
|
||
I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel.
|
||
There was a guy inventing a shark bite suit. And there's only one
|
||
way to test it. "Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on, it looks
|
||
good... They want you to jump into this pool of sharks, and you
|
||
tell us if it hurts when they bite you." "Well, all right, but hold
|
||
my sign. I don't wanna lose it."
|
||
|
||
Last time I had a flat tire, I pulled my truck into one of those
|
||
side-of-the-road gas stations. The attendant walks out, looks at my
|
||
truck, looks at me, and I SWEAR he said, "Tire go flat?" I couldn't
|
||
resist. Said, "Nope. I was driving around and those other three
|
||
just swelled right up on me. Here's your sign."
|
||
|
||
We were trying to sell our car about a year ago. A guy came over to
|
||
the house and drove the car around for about 45 minutes. We get back
|
||
to the house, he gets out of the car, reaches down and grabs the
|
||
exhaust pipe, then says, "Darn that's hot!" See? If he'd been
|
||
wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.
|
||
|
||
I learned to drive an 18 wheeler in my days of adventure. Wouldn't
|
||
ya know I misjudged the height of a bridge. The truck got stuck and
|
||
I couldn't get it out no matter how I tried. I radioed in for help
|
||
and eventually a local cop shows up to take the report. He went
|
||
through his basic questioning..ok..no problem. I thought sure he was
|
||
clear of needing a sign...until he asked "So..is your truck stuck?"
|
||
I couldn't help myself! I looked at him, looked back at the rig and
|
||
then back to him and said "no I'm delivering' a bridge...here's your
|
||
sign."
