Redundant Nodelist Flags?
|
||
|
||
In the interest of pruning the size of the Nodelist, why don't we drop
|
||
the use of V32B,V42B flags when either V34 or VFC are listed?
|
||
Just curious.... Richard Ratledge 1:119/88

Where do you get off disbanding an ENTIRE network without
|
||
telling anyone about it?
|
||
|
||
Steve Baumann was at my house last night. We both talked to
|
||
Kelly Garnett by voice. NONE of us knew anything about this.
|
||
|
||
Accordingly, we wish to form a new network. We have met all the
|
||
requirements of Section 2.4 of Policy 4.07. Here is the
|
||
nodelist segment. It's also file attached as NET2805.342.

Seeking Nodelist Archives
|
||
by Richard Bash
|
||
|
||
A colleague asked me for the location of archives of old
|
||
nodelists/nodediffs. That put me "on the chase," so to speak. I am
|
||
seeking a collection of nodediffs for 1989. I tried George Peace's
|
||
location. He only has stuff for the past 30 days there.
|
||
|
||
Is there a site (ideally an Internet site where I can ftp the files,
|
||
but a Fido node is great as well) where these older nodediffs are
|
||
archived? With the great variety of folks we have worldwide in Fidonet,
|
||
I'm sort of surprised that someone hasn't taken it upon themselves to
|
||
create such a collection.
|
||
|
||
I welcome your suggestions. Please contact me by netmail or Internet
|
||
e-mail at the addresses below or post an article here and let the world
|
||
know where these archives, if they exist, are maintained. Thank you.

The CHAMELEON Echo Lives
|
||
Exotic Pets Chatter Echo is BACK!
|
||
By Bill Myers, 1:366/27 (COPS-N-HAMS BBS)
|
||
|
||
As many of you owners of exotic pets read in FIDO1246, our CHAMELEON
|
||
echo was dropped from the Backbone on 01 Nov.
|
||
|
||
I was able to make contact with the previous moderator through his
|
||
SYSop, and he has agreed to allow me to take over moderatorship of
|
||
the echo. It has been re-Elisted and should be back on the Backbone
|
||
on/about 1 Dec.
|
||
|
||
To those of you that aren't familiar with the echo, allow me to
|
||
invite you to drop in and visit. This echo is for the pets that
|
||
aren't allowed in other pet echo's; Iguanas, Monitors, Tegus, Water
|
||
Dragons, Chameleons, Snakes, Turtles, Spiders, Ferrets, Insects,
|
||
and many more. Discussions are lively and lots of good information
|
||
is passed out, much based on ownership and experience. A lot of
|
||
questions are answered for people thinking about buying one of these
|
||
pets.
|
||
|
||
To the old members of the echo, look for it in the 1 Dec BACKBONE.NA
|
||
and I'm looking forward to chatting with you folks again.
|
||
|
||
Take Care and Happy Holidays to All

Invitation to MirageNet!
|
||
From: Mark Hoover (1:275/103)
|
||
|
||
I'm writing this in light of the responses I received from
|
||
FidoNews edition number 47. I was surprised from the response I
|
||
recieved after it was released as I had no idea how many people
|
||
actually read this.
|
||
|
||
I would like to invite everybody who is reading this to join
|
||
MirageNet. We consist of 36 active bases ranging from general
|
||
chatter to the unexplained to fantasy and anything else you can
|
||
imagine. MirageNet is also hosting InterBBS games of Bre,
|
||
Falcon's Eye, and Lord.
|
||
|
||
MirageNet currently has nodes in eight states and one province,
|
||
so there should be a node near you. I have provided a list of
|
||
names and phone numbers where the welcome packet is available
|
||
and the Freq name where available.
