     A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses
     both.

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

                           When we were pioneers
                         Richard Webb,  1:116/901

     I started putting hands to keyboard composing this article some months
     ago and then laid it aside.  Business and other projects demanded my
     attention and it became one of those things I'd eventually finish and
     submit to fidonews.

     As I note the dearth of original content in the snooze other than the
     nodelist stats and fidonet software listings most weeks I thought it
     was time I put my efforts into polishing it and getting it ready for
     submission. The issue I just finished reading was the catalyst for me,
     as well as some recent echomail I've seen.

     First to fidonews 2433 which I just finished reading. The article on
     nodelist discrepancies was quite enlightening as I'd never really
     thought about it before. But, before I read that article I read Jeff
     Smith's piece on death and his comments about those who complained his
     echomail in the fidonews article on the bridge collapse and feeling of
     loss was off topic for that echo.

     Then I got to contemplating the echomail I'd seen. A moderator
     complains to the keeper of the echolist that "you hijacked my echo" to
     which the echolist keeper responds that said moderator did not submit
     his update in a timely fashion. Not just has this schoolyard bickering
     occupied the echo in question but has spilled over into at least two
     other echoes. It might be worth saying at this point that the policy
     and guidelines for keeping ones echo listed are published and widely
     available. If said moderator didn't follow them, then, "you snooze,
     you lose."

     It would seem to me that the matter of nodelist discrepancies however
     is something we should be discussing, and solving. Logistical issues
     regarding building and maintaining  our network are far more important
     and worth our effort.

     For many reasons I recently decided to put a fidonet node up again.
     Eventually I plan to make it available via telnet, and not just over a
     plain old telephone line via modem as it is now. That tells you
     brieflly about me, and now I can get to the point of this article.

     Often as I look through the fidonet traffic through my system from the
     overnight hours I note the dearth of activity in most of the echoes.
     The email link I have through fidonet is much more reliable than my
     dial-up internet connection however, and there's always one or two
     internet emails contained in it. I'll read over the White House press
     releases; stats; and new file announcements in the relevant echoes and
     hearken back to the day when my BBS was the connection to the internet
     for many in southeastern Iowa circa 1995 to 1997.

     I think back to those days when we were often the only connection our
     local users had with the internet thanks to uucp, when local users
     FIDONEWS 24-34               Page 3                   20 Aug 2007


     kept our phone lines busy and there was a lot of traffic. We were the
     first introduction to email and online resources for many of these
     users, and when they moved on to a local internet service provider
     many never called their friendly local fidonet board again. Often when
     they did call back a few months later they found the canned voice of
     the phone company automation telling them that this number is no
     longer in service, or no BBS there to interact with. If they bothered
     to call back at all they found when they got no answer that they were
     missing something that was as valuable as what they got from their
     internet connection.

     If you take a moment or two to consider that last statement you'll see
     what they're missing. I don't have to tell you, the fidonet sysop who
     still is active, what they miss, but for the casual reader of the
     snooze and the sysop who's thinking about pulling the plug maybe a
     reminder is in order.

     They missed that interaction with a human who provided their link.
     When you call your internet service provider to discuss a technical
     problem chances are good that your call is answered by a person who
     may as well have no name or no face so far as you're concerned. ThIs
     person may be on the other side of the world, and has to hurry through
     your call because others are waiting, and if they take too much time
     to answer your questions and help you solve a problem they're not
     considered productive enough and will find themselves once again
     searching for employment. Often such folk aren't able to provide
     assistance beyond the canned script they've been provided.

     Contrast that with the user who interacts with his friendly local
     sysop who might just be able to suggest a shareware utility to solve a
     problem, or the friendly text of another echo participant who can help
     you find that needed tool or suggest a technique. Yes I know, there
     are friendly people on web boards and in usenet newsgroups too, and
     I've interacted with many. Yet web boards are often slow to load with
     too much advertising, popups and fraught with dangers from malicious
     spyware and other nasties. Contrast that with your friendly fido
     system on the web or dialed into on your telephone line running Remote
     Access or Maximus etc. Your friendly fido sysop vets his files
     available for download and weeds out anything malicious, makes sure
     that things run smoothly and the mail moves. eMail from my fidonet
     connection is much more reliable than my regular internet service
     provider, and this is one of the big players in the game here in the
     U.S.

     Many of us blazed the trail, and still offer that same spirit of
     friendliness and an interest in the avocation of running our systems.
     Though our echoes aren't as busy as they were in days gone by and our
     phone lines no longer hum with so much traffic that users had to fight
     to get in between busy signals we still offer something often missing
     from those internet java based chat rooms and usenet newsgroups
     plagued with endless flamewars and spam. We offer a sense of
     community, some friendly text to help solve a problem, and the ability
     to log on, get to what interests you and log off without worrying
     about trojans and other malicious software. In fact, on certain boards
     I'm sure that the juvenille users can even find some interaction with
     others safely, as our sysops make sure that the younger users can't
     FIDONEWS 24-34               Page 4                   20 Aug 2007


     access anything they shouldn't.

     As with many articles, this one is going to ask you to do something.
     Don't jump ahead just yet, but consider for a moment what I'm asking
     you to do. Next time somebody in your presence complains about that
     slow to load web site with the discussion areas all based around the
     java and popups remind them that back in the day when the internet was
     only available to folks at military research centers and large
     universities, tinkers such as Tom Jennings were developing fidonet as
     we know it, and their friendly fidonet BBS is still accessible and
     available, whether through telnet, their web browser or on a dial-up
     connection.

     Yes you can put ads up at the local computer shop and get listings in
     places such as google, but the users only show up when they know
     they're getting something that isn't available somewhere else. So,
     talk up your favorite fido board, even if it's your own, at work, at
     school, while watching your child's soccer game. Explain the
     advantages of offline readers to those without cable modems and dsl.
     Talk about the extra measure of safety they can feel when downloading
     files from their friendly fidonet board where chances are pretty good
     they've been checked for nasties before being offered to the public
     for download.


     Regards, Richard

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

                            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

      From the *C's              *.css |  Rebuttals to articles      *.reb
      Fidonet Regional News      *.reg |  Fidonet Net News           *.net
      Retractions                *.rtx |  General Fidonet Articles   *.art
      Guest Editorial            *.gue |  Fidonet Current Events     *.cur

      Getting Fidonet Technical  *.ftc |  Question Of The Week       *.que
      Humor in a Fido Vein       *.hfv |  Comix in ASCII             *.cmx

      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.
