Passing of a Superman
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
In fiction, Clark Kent is the alter ego of the famous hero. For
|
||
many years, Fidonet has been graced with its own Kent... though this
|
||
one never changed the course of mighty rivers nor bent steel in his
|
||
bare hands. In fact, Kent Anderson, though a superman to those who
|
||
knew him, was not what one would consider a "power" in Fido: he was
|
||
never a Coordinator, never excommunicated anyone - in fact, I don't
|
||
think he was ever in the nodelist, posting from a point node most of
|
||
the time I communicated with him.
|
||
|
||
But Kent was a superman where it counted to many of us who cherish
|
||
the echoes of Fidonet. Not only was he a prolific poster in the
|
||
echoes he frequented, but he seemed to avoid the contentious style
|
||
of posting that many of us fall into... and would even calm the
|
||
storm if he were passing through such arguments.
|
||
|
||
A man with this quality might seem a natural as an echo moderator,
|
||
and that is a role Kent filled often and with distinction. He is
|
||
probably best remembered for his stewardship and participation in
|
||
the MEMORIES echo, though who could forget his unifying effect when
|
||
he took over the troubled echo MODERATOR?
|
||
|
||
Kent Anderson was a moderator's moderator in more than just title,
|
||
though. Many of us remember his sage advice to other moderators,
|
||
and his vision of the moderator as echo steward rather than boss.
|
||
|
||
Kent passed away last Tuesday, September 5th at the age of 79. His
|
||
death was not unexpected, as he'd spent his last few months in a
|
||
hospice, but he'll be missed by many. It may be tempting to think
|
||
of his death as a loss to Fido, but the truth is that Fidonet is
|
||
forever richer for his influence. Kent was a superman where it
|
||
counted most!

REC13 Election
|
||
Carol Shenkenberger, 1:13/0
|
||
|
||
The REC13 election has been concluded early due to only 1 candidate
|
||
other than the current RC agreeing to run, and stipulating they
|
||
would do so only with 2 other running mates. There were no other
|
||
running mates.
|
||
|
||
The reason for this is because the current RC (me) is active duty
|
||
military and going to transfer earlier than initially expected. This
|
||
means an early RC election. With that news already regionally known,
|
||
interest is high in who will become the RC and the desires of the
|
||
net show a long turnover time is what is wanted, more than
|
||
discussing who will be REC.
|
||
|
||
To reduce turmoil, Carol Shenkenberger, RC13 will assume REC13
|
||
duties on 15SEP00.
|
||
|
||
Discussion will take place shortly in region 13 sysop echos, on who
|
||
the possible candidates for RC13 will be. There have already been
|
||
posts accepting to run for that position.
|
||
|
||
More will be posted in FIDONEWS regarding R13 elections, in
|
||
accordance with our internal regional policy as we progress to the
|
||
next stage.

Standing the Watch
|
||
Carol Shenkenberger
|
||
|
||
The Navy has a tradition. It's called 'passing the watch' or
|
||
'standing the watch'. It means we all stand to train our successor
|
||
and when the time comes, we pass on 'the watch'. When DavidM was so
|
||
busy figuring out all the new things he needed to do as Z1C, I told
|
||
him not to worry. 'I stand the watch'.
|
||
|
||
I now stand the watch for DaveC and will do the traditional training
|
||
of whomever the region selects to replace me. To ensure that, DaveC
|
||
and I are transitioning the one aspect over quickly which leaves
|
||
some 5 *months* or more before a new RC here would take over, and
|
||
still leave me some 2-4 months 'here' to assist them in any way
|
||
needed after that date.
|
||
|
||
A wise person sees a plan that is better than their own, and adopts
|
||
it <G>.
|
||
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-37 Page 3 11 Sep 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
I do not know when we will start collecting candidates 'offically'
|
||
but there's noting wrong in asking about it. We already have one
|
||
poor SOB on record as willing to try (evil grin) and from
|
||
netmail/other I know of at least 2 possible candidates besides him.
|
||
|
||
I ask only as we move o to the next phase to remember 2 things.
|
||
|
||
1. You had no clue who I was or what I would be like when I was
|
||
skyrocketed suddenly before your eyes to this.
|
||
|
||
2. The most important quality is CARING for your region enough to
|
||
make extra effort to help.
|
||
|
||
(Ok a 3rd, none of us have a choice in this. I'm moving out of
|
||
country 'someplace' and Sasebo Japan or Yokosuka are 99% sure to be
|
||
the location. So factor that in and wish me well while thinking
|
||
over who will take care of you and 'stand the watch').

ARTSPEC.DOC
|
||
Doug Myers
|
||
|
||
A new revision of ARTSPEC.DOC is being distributed on the FIDONEWS
|
||
echo. A focus of this revision is to eliminate some of the
|
||
technical considerations which are handled by the editor anyway in
|
||
the hopes of making the submission process more tempting to
|
||
prospective writers. Coordinators and mail movers are encouraged to
|
||
check and ensure that the normal distribution process has replaced
|
||
older revisions of this document.

FidoNews Article Submission (September 10, 2000)
|
||
|
||
FidoNews, founded in early 1984, is the newsletter of the FidoNet
|
||
computer network, for both its Sysops and users. It is passed to
|
||
its readers electronically via the FidoNet and other computer
|
||
networks and to non-network readers as well as to the InterNet.
|
||
Fidonews welcomes articles, editorials, and features of interest to
|
||
the Fidonet Community. To have your article included in Fidonews,
|
||
simply send it via netmail to 1:270/720 or via internet email to
|
||
DougM@paonline.com.
|
||
|
||
In the past, this article submission document outlined the many
|
||
technical details involved in processing Fidonews articles. The
|
||
assumption in the past seems to have been that articles would be
|
||
automatically processed from the editor's inbound mail directly into
|
||
Fidonews. However, the current editor does no automatic inbound
|
||
processing; rather, each article is examined before publication and
|
||
technical details are handled by the editor rather than imposed on
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-37 Page 4 11 Sep 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
the person submitting the article. It works better that way - it
|
||
means that you are free to just concentrate on what you want to say.
|
||
|
||
It's perfectly acceptable to simply write your article the same way
|
||
you would write netmail or email. Don't worry about the stuff added
|
||
by software along the way... I edit that out anyway. All I need at
|
||
this end is a text message which I can read with standard software
|
||
and which I can import into a standard text editor to format for the
|
||
Fidonews software. Alternatively, you can file attach an ASCII text
|
||
copy of your article.
|
||
|
||
Here are some guidelines you can use to help me make it easier to
|
||
format your article for Fidonews:
|
||
|
||
1. Use standard ASCII text. Most word processor formats can't be
|
||
used by the Fidonews software. In addition, the Fidonews software
|
||
won't accept most ASCII control characters nor any characters above
|
||
ASCII 127 (this, unfortunately, includes all those neat box drawing
|
||
characters).
|
||
|
||
2. Start your lines at the left of your screen when typing. The
|
||
software puts in a left margin automatically, and I have to manually
|
||
remove any left margin appearing in your document.
|
||
|
||
3. Keep your line length to under 70 columns for tables or charts
|
||
(or if you include an ASCII illustration). Regular paragraphs
|
||
exceeding this 70 column limit can be reformatted during the editing
|
||
process, but tables and charts are normally distorted beyond
|
||
recognition by a simple reformatting.
|
||
|
||
4. Separate paragraphs with a blank line. This is how my text
|
||
editor recognizes paragraph endings, so I have to add blank lines
|
||
manually if you don't.
|
||
|
||
5. Title your article as you'd like to see it in the Table of
|
||
Contents. If you don't, I'll make up a title for you, but I'd
|
||
rather have the article appear as you wish.
|
||
|
||
6. Include your name and node number (or internet address) under
|
||
the title. I'll grab it from your message, if necessary... but,
|
||
again, I'd rather have the article appear as you wish.
|
||
|
||
7. Check your own spelling and wording. Though I feel free to
|
||
reformat your article so it conforms to technical requirements, I
|
||
generally leave the wording (and spelling) alone as I don't want to
|
||
distort what you have to say.
|
||
|
||
8. Send your article before Sunday in order to see it in that
|
||
Monday's edition. Normally I put the newsletter together Sunday
|
||
Evening and send it out... and I normally check email and netmail
|
||
before I finalize the edition. So if I get your article before
|
||
Sunday evening, I'll include it... but send it by Saturday to be
|
||
safe :)
|
||
|
||
9. If you're not sure whether you should write or send in your
|
||
article, I would encourage you to send it anyway. Chances are, if
|
||
FIDONEWS 17-37 Page 5 11 Sep 2000
|
||
|
||
|
||
you write of something of interest to yourself, it'll be of interest
|
||
to others. Besides, Fidonews is a better publication when it's
|
||
written by a variety of people :)

Missing Article
|
||
|
||
Missing from this week's issue is the announcement about a Russion
|
||
language book about Fidonet. The announcement was sent to me
|
||
earlier in the week, but was irretrievably damaged due to disk
|
||
failure. If the author will resend the announcement, I'll be happy
|
||
to include it in the first weekly issue after receipt. My apology
|
||
for the inept handling of the original.

a @ preceding an individual's name implies a virtual email
|
||
address. The email is translated as follows
|
||
firstlast@osirusoft.com will automatically route to the
|
||
appropriate individual's email. Anyone in this list will
|
||
also receive routed notice of this feature. In my case, it
|
||
would still be joejared@osirusoft.com, but you get the idea.
|
||
|
||
Also, as information is provided to me, I will be adding a
|
||
latency field to each node, which is defined as the maximum
|
||
time between when the message is received, and when it is
|
||
sent on to other nodes, or available to be sent onward,
|
||
defined in minutes. A latency of ! implies that there is an
|
||
immediate response, and an attempt to deliver immediately
|
||
after processing, or a "MinuteMail System", as it were.
