     You can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in
     other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people
     interested in you.

                   The integrity of mail
                 By Matt Bedynek, 1:106/1

     As a mail mover, one must do whatever it takes to ensure the smooth
     operation of the network at the same time maximize the propagation of
     content.  We cannot allow ourselves to become overzealous, nor, under
     estimate the vital role we play or the level of responsibility we
     shoulder.

     We must make decisions that compromise between quality and quantity.
     For example, decisions like maximum message size have far reaching
     consequences than our own system.  Many of us are still active and
     routinely update our hardware and software that extend our
     capabilities far beyond our counterparts who do not.  Those
     counterparts, our colleagues, may be sysops who simply do not have the
     time to invest in changing software, or, they are stranded on a desert
     island without the promise of updates for their favorite platform,
     that despite these limitations still work well for the scope in which
     they were designed.

     For example, I run the husky software (hpt and htick) to handle my
     echomail and files.  Hpt can handle messages the size of available
     memory and htick can handle long file names.  But, having been a fan
     of fido software, and used or evaluated every widely used software
     package, most of which are dead or dying, I can say that their
     limitations are more restrictive for the needs of the era in which
     they were designed.  Moreover, while some of these software packages
     may have limits similar to mine, the operator may have chosen for
     whatever reason to not enable them.

     Today, some argue fidonet is no longer as tightly restricted in that
     there is no originating point for content.  I agree with that fully.
     Fidonet is a peer-to-peer broadcast network in which traffic is passed
     on.  And, pride or no pride, whether some of us admit it or not, cheap
     availability of 24/7 IP connectivity has opened the door for anyone to
     move mail.  Unfortunately, there is no litmus test for those who
     volunteer to move mail that says they will uphold any doctrine or
     social contract to ensure the quality of the content they forward into
     the stream or take responsibility for any problems that originate from
     their links.

     If such software, capable or incapable, configured or not, receives a
     message that tests its upper limit, it might either sideline the
     message, the entire packet, or worse, freeze the system of the node
     processing it.  If my node forwards you a packet containing 30
     messages and one of them is too large for your system to handle the
     likely result is that the entire packet is lost and degradation of
     quality the result. The damage resulting will be far worse to the
     system than to the pride of the hub operator when he is called out for
     failing to place checks on the traffic he forwards.

     Yes, we are a peer-to-peer network, but hubs still play a vital role
     FIDONEWS 24-01               Page 3                    1 Jan 2007


     in that they are focal points for the traffic the pass.  They have an
     obligation to find, isolate, and notify others of problems.  If this
     is not possible, they should attempt to fix those problems themselves
     for the benefit of the network.  Sure, in the past, we could simply
     blow people off and tell the operator of the system "I will not pass
     your broken messages, either switch software or have your messages
     lost".  Today, we cannot afford to do this.  I adopt the attitude if I
     can save one single message that contributes to the continuation of
     the network, I have done my good deed for the day. But, at the same
     time, as one hub operator to another, while I will notify my
     colleagues of the problem, I do not have an obligation to fix their
     system. Collaboration is fine, but if, as a hub operator, one does not
     have what it takes to make the cut, they should not shoulder the
     burden of handling traffic for other nodes.  They do a disservice to
     the network and those they forward traffic for.

     If, as a hub operator, you cannot resolve issues on your own, then
     perhaps you shouldn't have volunteered.

                 Terrence's Hoppin' John
            By: Carol Shenkenberger, 6:757/1

     > Hi Bjorn!

     > A late submission, too late I bet for new years.  Oh well.

     Hi Carol,

     Betcha it aint! :)



     Below is a traditional New Years meal, served in the South portion of
     the USA. It's made at all times of the year but is especially meaty at
     New Years. Additional broth may be added as it cooks.


     MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

           Title: Terrence's Hoppin' John
      Categories: Xxcarol, Main dish, Beans
           Yield: 16 Servings

           4 lb Chopped virgina salt ham
           1 lb Dry black-eyed peas
           1 c  Dry rice
           8 c  Chicken broth
           6 ea Tomatos, big beefeaters chop
          16 c  Chopped Collard greens
           3 c  Chopped onions w/greens
           1 tb Vinegar
           4 sm Hot peppers, chopped fine
           1 tb Black pepper
           3 ea Green Peppers, chopped

       This one is from a neighbor. It comes from his ancestors who lived
     in a sharecropper place after the US civil war ended but he says it
     dates back to when his family were slaves on a big plantation in
     Georgia. While no longer slaves or sharecroppers, the recipe has
     carried down and shows the unique accent of one with a need to feed a
     big family in an economical but tastey way. It's adapted he says to
     use 'Virginia Ham' now but used to be salt pork of the inexpensive
     kind. The veggies, all came from the home plot on the farm back then.

       He says there is an alternate version, not the same in taste, which
     he lacks measurements for but from the earliest family history they
     have. In it, you omit the onions and black pepper but add 'Taro'
     (American sweet potato will do) and crushed peanuts.

       Now to cook this, you soak the beans the night before. He said,
     after washing the dishes. Chop the veggies (for the collards, you want
     FIDONEWS 24-01               Page 5                    1 Jan 2007


     only the greens and none of the stems).  The green onion tops and
     green peppers were seasonal and omitted when not available.  In winter
     when the collards werent available, they were omitted or the
     'Taro/peanut' version was made when he was a kid. When chicken or
     other poultry carcasses werent available to make the stock, the water
     from boiling vegetables was used in it's place.

       Add all to a pot, after rinsing the soaked black-eyed peas off in
     fresh water.  Set to a low boil, adding water as needed.  The type of
     rice and size of the beans will make you either need to add more
     stock, or rice as you go along.

       From the kitchen of: A friend of xxcarol's

     MMMMM

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

                            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, 22:00 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

      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.

     Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:

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

     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.
