Ahh yes...

You're better off leaving it alone my good man. These are the same people that police the nodelist (and yes, they actually made an echo for it) because they have nothing better to do besides argue with others until whatever conversation they decide to jump into abruptly goes silent due to others not wanting to stoop to their level. Fidonet at it's finest.

I'd rather this echo go back to discussing D'Bridge and the future cowbell it will include, because well, we always need more cowbell. ;)

Regards,
Nick

Nick,

You're better off leaving it alone my good man. These are the same people that police the nodelist (and yes, they actually made an echo for it) because they have nothing better to do besides argue with others until whatever conversation they decide to jump into abruptly goes silent due
to others not wanting to stoop to their level. Fidonet at it's finest.

With the nodelist being at the center of Fidonet-operations, maintaining it at certain moments is a tedious business. Without a decent nodelist we're fried.

While one might get upset with the nodelist police's activity, it's possible to just ignore it or try to turn it into a resource for monitoring what happens to said nodelist-entries. I'm in-between both.

It resulted over the years into a pretty clean nodelist ... no more fax-numbers, no more private phones, no more street-adressess, in a certain case even someone's shoe-size. ill-formed flags, unknown flags.... more stuff.

The "invention" of the daily-lists was also a seed planted by the nodelist-police and other things too all resulting from discussions.

Gone are the days of Bob Satti and Ron Dwight who just loved sitting on their throne and dispensing their wisdom. In the case of Ron Dwight it meant a lot of controversial things and Bob Satti fought like hell first to keep high modem speeds and later IP out of the nodelist.

It seems to me a lot has gone over your head when you make the remarks quoted above.

This is just a clarification, nothing more.

Take care,

There is no person with the same name. There are 3 persons with the last name Coyle in that list, but all list a different Town then your
currently listed Philadelphia. And there are no addresses in the
nodelist (so we can't compare those). And there was no system with the name "Mystic BBS Support" in that nodelist. Have you even looked at that nodelist? You are not making any sense...

Jim is the abbreviation for James, so yes its the same name. The Net 268 person decided he was going to use the abbrivated version when he listed me in 1991 and I didn't give a shit that he did. Any reasonable person would see that and come to the same conclusion but maybe its a language thing and you don't know they are the same name?

Regardless this conversation was never about truth and it never is with you. *IF ONLY* there were 27 years of software releases that I've done where one could see the location and where other information could easily be verified...

LOL

Right on, its always for the best to get your amusement from them and then move on after a few. They have nothing better to do than to continue to make up a world that isn't real and try to argue things that aren't even arguable.

They've been "harassing me" for years (at least I think thats what they think they're doing). I get amused by their backwards behavior so I keep it going for a bit...

More recently part of me is saddened as I think about it. They've probably spent their entire mid-life engrossed in everything FidoNet. It was their lives, their passion, their personality was created on FidoNet. And then Fido became so incredibly insigificant. They literally made fun of me for using an alias and if that isn't an indicator of how amazingly out of touch they are...

Anyway, yeah. This echo should be cowbell-only. Lets hope they'll keep their nonsense to their usual places (ie support areas for my software) and refrain from trying to harass me in other places.

D'Bridge has a Cowbell feature, in fact a few hooks to allow playing of audio files on personal mail. So naturally I *expect* you to "one up" me every
time I publish an update... lol.

If you can actually convince everyone in the Mystic echo to do this and/or
the Mystic installer will do this... that could be a "checkmate".
