    News: Dated 8 Jun 2016

    This echo has sat Derelict for more than 8 months with no activity
    I have been absent from Fidonet for 7 years due to my home office
    Burning just shortly after the 9-11 event. WOrking a government
    job I had little time to put it back up. Since I had a disabling
    brain injury I have returned the LiveWire Back online.

    The LiveWire was once one of the oldest BBS's online. We date
    back to 1986 in the days of the 300 baud modem. In the early
    1990s I moderated this very echo and it saddend me to see nothing
    here since November of 2015. I'm still involved in many Amiga User
    groups and I will do everything I can to promote, revive this echo.

    Since the echo has long sat dormant I am simply salvaging this much
    like a ship that has been out adrift at sea. No moderator activity
    monthly rule posting or user activity has been posted in over 8
    months... therefore I simply want to see this echo continue and
    become part of Fidonet's rennaissance. I believe in the Fido...
    time to let him out of the doghouse and let him run again.

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
    Rules:

    1. The purpose of this echo is to discuss the classic Commodore
    Computer System known as the Amiga. The Amiga was an impressive
    system for it's day. It's video capabailites exceeded that of the
    Apple Macintosh. Many classic Science Fiction shows of the day
    had their space scenes rendred through a Video Toaster

    2. Moderating handled by the echo Moderator, who is Allen Prunty and
    he can be reached at allen.prunty@livewirebbs.com or @1:2320/100

    3. Polite behavior and language is expected: personal attacks, flaming,
    and off-topic messages are not tolerated.

    4. Personal comments to the moderator should be taken to NetMail - or
    private e-mail.

    5. BBS "handles" and aliases are not permitted - real names only. If
    you are accessing this echo via NNTP or E-Mail List please sign
    your real name on every message you post.

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

    Distribution:

    Classic Connection

    This echo can be read on many Fidonet BBS's all of them having a
    telnet capability. Many now have a web-forum like interface where
    they can post via HTTP and download QWK by telnet or http.

    http://livewirebbs.com or Telnet://livewirebbs.com

    NNTP (Network News Transfer Protocol)

    You can set up an NNTP account by using a capable newsreader. This
    is now avalable by using Thunderbird, Postbox, or several other

    I have messages on this area from the beginning of 2012. I see no
    messages from you.

    Why do you suddenly want to be a god of this echo?

    If he ain't who is? If he is listed in the Echolist - then he's the moderator and fiddle-dee-dee.

    I'm just happy to see some activity here. If you really cared you'd have posted something in here before your whinge above.

    I've been reading this echo (when there was *any* traffic at all) far longer than that. I don't recall anything memorableor constructive from you.

    So, why do you care?

    Then you really don't have a dog in this hunt, do you? So, why do you find it necessary to be one of Dickie's sycophants? If you've nothing constructive to say then perhaps you should dummy up.

    The echo is for discussion of Amiga computers - not "Who shot John?".

    If you ever become smart enough to buy an Amiga - we can help you learn to use it. Or how to fix it as all things electronic do break down from time to time. Why, just since Allen re-activated this echo Ihave gotten several good leads on Amiga gear which I need/can use.
