    Well... The Fidonet address that you are displaying as indicated above is 1:123/140.

    But the Oct. 16 nodelist suggests that you are Ed Koon.

    1:123/140,Docs_Place_BBS_Online,Clearwater_FL,Ed_Koon,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA: bbs.fidosysop.org,IBN

    So... I will leave it up to you decide your actual Fidonet address and your actual identity

    thank you. I remember reading that its user name at fidonet address.

    Yes, it is. Your address at Doc's Place BBS is 1:123/140. Not all BBSs have netmail available to all users so if you don't see a netmail area there you'd need to ask the sysop there (or any BBS you call) if netmail is available.

    Hello Alan,

    thank you. I remember reading that its user name at fidonet address.

    I gots to be getting old. :-) It didn't even occur to me that Seth was possibly using the Netmail feature on Ed's BBS. I guess I had gotten too used to only Sysops netmail.

    Sigh.... My Bad.

    It happens to all of us after a while.. :)

    Not bad at all.. I was guessing Seth was talking about netmail. It sounded that
    way but i'm not sure.

    It looks like you are posting from 1:123/140. But might want to move this over
    to another echo :)
