     Success is not in the future. Success is accomplished each moment. It
     is whatever you are doing and wherever you are. Your promotions are
     the reward for the successes.

                                        -- Horst Schulze

                         Fidonet on the Web

     OK, so it seems I got what I asked for, albeit not in the format I
     would have preferred. Ergo, all our readers of the FIDONEWS echo now
     get a re-run of Thom's contribution, but here, later in this issue, it
     is, nevertheless. It will be repeated in the Snooze for at least a
     couple of weeks, probably more.

        As for this, obviously rather sensitive matter of "who's got the
     biggest Snooze site on the 'net'", let me just remind all of you
     contestants, that so far, I haven't found any site that have the same
     fantastic Snooze availability that the old fidonews.org site had.

        Anyone that ever visited Jim's .org site know what I'm talking
     about. Reading the Snooze, neatly presented article by article rather
     than in the text format, that hundreds of sites have to offer, makes a
     huge difference to the readers. If there's anyone out there, that can
     offer the Snooze in the same fantastic format that Jim did, feel free
     to contact the Snooze editor, and I sure as h*ll will put a link to
     your site in the end of the Snooze.

        As a service to those of you, that want to have a go at this
     challenge, I've created a file echo, simply called SNOOZE, that has
     all the Snooze articles as separate files in it, so you don't have to
     make your robot try to figure out all the "new page" and other stuff,
     to make HTML-pages of the articles. Feel free to contact your nearby
     mail hub to get this file echo. If you cannot find it somewhere, drop
     me a mail and I'll be happy to set up a direct link to you.

        If I had the time, and, even more importantly, the bandwidth, I
     would of course set up a fidonews.org alike site myself, but
     unfortunately that's not the case, so I leave it to all you
     HTML-wizards out there to pick up that special baton. I just hope that
     at least one or two of you know how to handle extended character sets,
     there's very little of that on any of the Snooze related sites today.

                           *    *    *    *

        And please, don't forget to contact Robert Couture with information
     about Fidonet related software. You don't even have to be the author,
     to do that. If you find some really good, Fido-related, s/w somewhere,
     don't hesitate to contact Robert, so that he can check out if it's of
     value to the rest of our readers.

        Some entries in the list have now been removed, and some have been
     added. I urge all of you to proof read the list, and send any comments
     to Robert, so that we all can help make the list as reliable as
     possible.

     Dear Editor-Beings Prelude: While holding his nose, Charles Herriot
     (1:163/110) submits the latest missive from Doc Logger which was
     delivered by courier wrapped around a large quantity of polar bear
     livers. In a postscript, Logger suggests that the inclusions are to be
     used in some form of ritual involving Fidogods. Roll da flic,
     Sylvia....

     Uncle Bill's Home for Wayward TonTon Macoutes,
     Armalite, Argentina
     S0D 0RF

     Dear Reverend Visage,

     I was dismayed that you had ventured to one of the more dangerous
     parts of the world. While Mr. Bill was sending thousands of troops to
     correct traffic patterns in Haiti, more people died of gunshot wounds
     in downtown Washington, D.C. than had died of unnatural causes in the
     preceding two months of ugliness in Port Au Prince. You have to admire
     the priorities at work and the Excited States must be positively
     drooling at the prospect of helping Iraq locate the border markers in
     Kuwait.

     I was further dismayed to read in the paper that Prince Charles had
     sixteen badgers shot on one of his estates. It seems that he was
     worried that they would somehow pass on TB to his cattle, but the
     *real* reason must have something to do with the fact that they were
     poised to write a salacious kiss-n-tell story involving Princess Di.
     You can't trust badgers, Visage, as I've mentioned on more than a few
     occasions and its a darned fine thing to see our future monarch doing
     something other than expressing a desire to live in the trousers of
     his paramours.

     Ms. Labamba was positively gushing when she mentioned that the large
     crate of inflatable Hillary Clinton dolls had arrived from Rick Arnold
     at Rune's Rag (1:2601/522). Dooya think that if I mentioned Rune's Rag
     ( a fine electronic publication, available from 1:2601/522) that Rick
     would send the batteries that appear to be missing from the
     aforementioned shipment?

     I hesitate to mention Net250 after you had me followed by trained
     marksmen armed with Thorazine tipped blowguns, but it appears that our
     beloved but non-sentient RC, Rick "Bury The Rest of Me At Wounded
     Knee" Johnston, is about to embark on another act of abject idiocy. It
     seems that he is about to overrule a policy complaint that was filed
     and rejected by the NC250. The complaint itself, was so profoundly
     childish and snivelling that it wouldn't have been taken seriously by
     a kindergarten teacher, but Rick "The Night of The Living Unread"
     Johnston has applied his keen jurisprudent mind to the issue. Look for
     flaming nodenumbers on the Northern horizon as this saga sinks deeper
     into the slimepit.

     I understand now, why you were unable to locate the ZC, Bob Satti (cue
     the plague of frogs), in your rambling through Canada's west.
     Apparently, Mr. Satti (sacrificing another hamster in deference to the
     Fidogods) has opined that he will see Nets 163 & 243 force marched to
     the altar before his term expires. Mercifully, he has also stated that
     he cannot turn his attention to the divorced Ottawa nets until the
     range warfare in Region 13 is subdued. Might I suggest, as a measure
     of the kind of deep concern that we feel towards these things, that we
     air freight our four hundred pound Samoan attorney to Region 13 so
     that their squabbles are prolonged long enough to outlast Mr. Satti's
     (cue the flood) tenure?

     On almost the same issue, I note that in the Z1-Election echo, various
     Fidogods keep citing PeeFour as some sort of Divine Doctrine. It would
     be unsurpassing rude of me, I suppose, to point out that PeeFour was
     never ratified, never voted upon, and has all the authority of Cheese
     Whiz. The fact that PeeFour entrenches the incestuous clubbiness of
     Fidogods is reason enough to place the document in a position where
     the sun doesn't shine and someday the elflords who keep invoking it
     will learn that the sysop peasantry don't need to be "controlled." The
     Z1_Election denizens are debating whether the secular state of
     *EC-beings can create their own policy nightmare. They miss the point
     entirely, in that the more rules they create, the more Fidocriminals
     they will engender.

     I must go Visage, your secretary has the kind of bovine gleam in her
     eye that Rudolph must have had the day he met Bambi, and I have no
     desire to father any children whose noses glow red in the dark. As a
     good and decent gesture, I suggest that we send her to the White House
     where she can become one of Mr. Bill's UnderSecretaries. Her distemper
     has nothing at all to do with the fact that the Snooz editors refused
     to honour your expense tab from Washington for the services of "St.
     Brigitte's All Nude Girl's Tuba Marching Band." I think it was the
     tubas, Visage, because Don Tees was heard to mutter something about
     the value of "art."

     Regards,

     Doc Logger,

     Shuckmagosh, Ohio

     Fidonet Related Websites
     Thom LaCosta
     1:261/1352

     One approach to tracking and viewing Fidonet related websites is to
     visit webrings that specialize in Fidonet.

     A webring is a method where sites having a common theme advertise
     other websites with simailar themes.  The advantage to the webring
     concept is that in theory, the sites have an interest in maintaining
     an accuate listing and can modify their own listings on a site by site
     basis.

     It appears that there are two fidonet webrings....the long-running
     system at http://b.webring.com/hub?ring=fidonet and another at
     http://www.fidonet.us/fidoring/

     The ring at webring.com is larger, but forces the viewer to look at
     google ads panels. The smaller ring at fidonet.us does not dpend on
     adverstising revenue from ads.

     Sysops with Fidonet related websites should consider joining one or
     both rings.

     Thom

     =================================================================

                            How to Submit an Article

     If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
     are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
     method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
     will appear in the Fidonews:

     a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
        probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.

     b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
        time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
        the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
        format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
        the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
        your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
        may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
        personal comments.

     c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.

     Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
     and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
     file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
     extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      From the *C's              *.css |  Rebuttals to articles      *.reb
      Fidonet Regional News      *.reg |  Fidonet Net News           *.net

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
     on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.

     If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
     in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
     of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
     sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
     article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
     can not fix and I need your help on it.

              Björn Felten
     Fidonet  2:2/2
     E-Mail   bfelten @ telia dot com

     IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
                word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
                will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
                folder.

     Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
     That way I will know to look for it.
