Policy 4 Abolished
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
In a remarkable display of international harmony and cooperation
|
||
earlier this week, sixty six of Fidonet's Regional Coordinators met
|
||
in the super secret WW_REGCON echo to repeal Fidonet's decade old
|
||
Policy 4.07. The unanimously adopted Policy 5.00 brings about
|
||
sweeping changes to Fidonet, among them:
|
||
|
||
- elections at all coordinator levels, except where it conflicts
|
||
with local tradition.
|
||
|
||
- equality for all individuals, except that sysops are more equal
|
||
and elected or appointed individuals are even more equal than
|
||
that.
|
||
|
||
- geographic organization is abandoned in recognition of the
|
||
improved interconnection patterns brought about by the internet.
|
||
The new basic unit of organization will be known as a "fiefdom."
|
||
|
||
- echomail is finally recognized as a matter of policy. Though it
|
||
doesn't fall under the traditional coordinator structure, a
|
||
multiple backbone structure is defined. Freedom of speech in all
|
||
echoes is guaranteed except where it conflicts with moderator
|
||
rulings.
|
||
|
||
Though informal polls indicate that the policy change is supported
|
||
by all 66 regional coordinators, it isn't official yet due to an
|
||
untimely failure of the WW_REGCON echo. Though it isn't widely
|
||
known, this super secret echo was actually the creation of Doc
|
||
Logger who, though he couldn't post on the echo, found it convenient
|
||
to establish clandestine connections to it so he could monitor the
|
||
elflords as they plotted to keep Fido under their thumb.
|
||
Ironically, all of the elflords accepted Doc's clandestine
|
||
connection through his old XT computer and never bothered to connect
|
||
amount themselves. This set up a situation where all traffic
|
||
through this echo flowed through the XT in Doc's basement (somehow
|
||
given an administrative node number). Those of you who remember Doc
|
||
Logger know that he departed Fidonet some time back, headed for his
|
||
retirement home in the South Seas. Though he remembered to take his
|
||
advanced system (the 286), he completely forgot about his XT in the
|
||
cellar.
|
||
|
||
Fidonews has learned through discrete sources that the machine
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-24 Page 2 12 Jun 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
failed earlier this week because the local electric utility finally
|
||
shout off electricity after two years of uncollected bills.
|
||
Unfortunately, this failure occurred after the Policy Change
|
||
Referendum had been posed, but before any votes were actually
|
||
gathered. It is suspected that Doc's old place will ultimately be
|
||
sold for back taxes and the machine is expected to gather votes when
|
||
electric service is restored.
|
||
|
||
In the meantime, this is what's not happening on Fidonet.

---------- Forwarded message ----------
|
||
Hello Darrell,
|
||
|
||
Ten days ago I flew from Chicago, IL to San Jose, CA. During the
|
||
flight I started a conversation with my "neighbor", who turns out to
|
||
be Tom Davison, a former node from Ottawa who recently moved to
|
||
Colorado.
|
||
|
||
We had a great chat comparing notes on Fidonet, a few good laughs
|
||
about common acquaintances and generally a good time.
|
||
|
||
Tom was interested in some of the new things we're into today, such
|
||
as Fido via IP, etc. However, he asked me to pass along greetings to
|
||
the region and to the Ottawa net.
|
||
|
||
Done! :-)

A prayer sent to me from a Veteran & Pal

|
||
TheLastStop@osirusoft.com
|
||
|
||
Dear Lord,
|
||
Every evening
|
||
As I'm lying here in bed
|
||
This tiny little prayer
|
||
Keeps running through my head
|
||
God bless my mom and dad
|
||
And bless my little pup
|
||
And look out for my sister
|
||
When things aren't looking up
|
||
And God, there's one more thing
|
||
I wish that you could do
|
||
Hope you don't mind me asking
|
||
But please bless my computer too?
|
||
Now I know that's not normal
|
||
To bless a mother board
|
||
But just listen a second
|
||
While I explain to you 'My Lord'
|
||
You see, that little metal box
|
||
Holds more to me than odds & ends
|
||
Inside those small compartments
|
||
Rest a hundred of my 'BEST FRIENDS'
|
||
I know for sure they like me
|
||
By the kindness that they give
|
||
And this little scrap of metal
|
||
Is how I travel to where they live
|
||
By faith is how I know them
|
||
Much the same as you
|
||
I share in what life brings them
|
||
From that our friendship grew
|
||
"PLEASE" Take an extra minute
|
||
From your duties up above
|
||
To bless this scrap of metal
|
||
That's filled with so much love!

This weeks Web Page
|
||
By Frank Vest
|
||
|
||
|
||
This weeks page is "Tiny's" Web page.
|
||
|
||
Where? http://members.home.com/t1ny/

||
FIDONEWS 17-24 Page 5 12 Jun 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
What's it got?
|
||
|
||
Lots of stuff here. Shawn Highfield (Tiny) is a programmer. You can
|
||
tell this by his page. I found Tiny's page a long time back while
|
||
looking for some doors for my BBS. He has a great "Hangman" game,
|
||
"Wall of Babble" and some other BBS doors and utilities. There's
|
||
even a L.O.R.D IGM that I run on my BBS called "Sommer's Shiny
|
||
Things". :)
|
||
|
||
I drop by this site on occasion to see what has been added. I
|
||
noticed that there is a free Telnet client on the main page for
|
||
download. Of course, I'm gonna try it. :)
|
||
|
||
It seems that Tiny is into a lot of things from networking to
|
||
programming and about anything else that deals with computers. I'd
|
||
suggest that you visit this site and take a good look around. As far
|
||
as the BBS and Fidonet areas go, I'll let Tiny tell you about his
|
||
history in that area.
|
||
|
||
----- cut -----
|
||
My History with BBS's
|
||
|
||
I've been running BBS's off and on since 1985 when I wrote BBS
|
||
software for the Commodore 64. I still have a copy of the "Perfect:
|
||
BBS" system on a floppy disk, though after over 10 years I doubt the
|
||
disk as any good. <G>
|
||
|
||
After moving to the PC Platform in 1991, I again started running a
|
||
BBS, this one was known as --==>Pern<==-- . As the system became
|
||
popular and went multinode, I changed the name to Online Information
|
||
Xchange.
|
||
|
||
OIX expanded and became an Internet Service Provider. I ran that
|
||
until April 1996, when I sold my shares to my partners.
|
||
|
||
Shortly after I sold OIX, a good friend of mine who runs a local
|
||
Echomail network called me up in a panic, His main HUB had went
|
||
down and he was stuck. I threw a mailer up and became HUB 400 in
|
||
powernet. Shortly after that I saw a copy of Telegard 3.0 on another
|
||
system in town. I started setting it up so I could use my favorite
|
||
offline mail reader instead of Front door's folders. One thing led
|
||
to another and Tiny's BBS was born.
|
||
|
||
----cut----
|
||
|
||
That's the story from Tiny. Drop by and read the rest of the stuff
|
||
on his page and check out some of the programs he's written as well
|
||
as the products offered.
|
||

Thin No More...
|
||
Thanks to Peggy Hollinger
|

|
||
|
||
|
||
There was a Scottish tradesman, a painter called Jock, who was very
|
||
interested in making a pound where he could, so he often would thin
|
||
down paint to make it go a wee bit further.
|
||
|
||
As it happened, he got away with this for some time, but eventually
|
||
the Presbyterian Church decided to do a big restoration job on the
|
||
roof of one their biggest churches. Jock put in a bid, and because
|
||
his price was so competitive, he got the job.
|
||
|
||
And so he set to, with a right good will, erecting the trestles and
|
||
setting up the planks, and buying the paint and, yes, I am sorry to
|
||
say, thinning it down with the turpentine.
|
||
|
||
Well, Jock was up on the scaffolding, painting away, the job nearly
|
||
done, when suddenly there was a horrendous clap of thunder, and the
|
||
sky opened the rain poured down, washing the thin paint from all
|
||
over the church and knocking Jock fair off the scaffold to land on
|
||
the lawn, among the gravestones, surrounded by telltale puddles of
|
||
the thinned and useless paint.
|
||
|
||
Jock was no fool. He knew this was a judgment from the Almighty, so
|
||
he got on his knees and cried: "Oh, God! Forgive me! What should I
|
||
do?"
|
||
|
||
And from the thunder, a mighty voice spoke:
|
||
"Repaint! Repaint and thin no more!"
