Thank you to Ward Dossche for this one :)

Overheard at the airport ...

A guy goes up to the baggage check-in with 3 bags.

"I want this bag sent to Toledo, this one to Atlanta, and this
one to Chicago."

"We can't do that."

"You did it last week!"

I've logged thousands of flights and "never" lost anything. A one day delay at best due to short connections.

Ward,

I've logged thousands of flights and "never" lost anything. A one day delay WD>best due to short connections.

You're one of the lucky ones. I rarely travel anymore, and even though
I applied for and received the TSA Speed Checkin, I don't plan to fly
anymore. I am hoping to do one final Amtrak trip in September for ham
radio related activities...but I won't know if I can do that for 2 to 3
weeks yet. Of more pressing concern is outpatient surgery next
Wednesday.

As I've mentioned in the Editorial, I've contacted Nick Andre
and Ward Dossche about the pages in the Zone 1 section at
fidonet.org.

Actually, it was I who sent you a netmail explaining I had
wrestled control over the domain and the website and told you if
changes were to be applied to the Z1-portion they could now be
included after being reviewed by ZC1:

* You never answered that message.
* You never sent me any draft updated site
* You never cc-ed a mail you allegedly sent to Nick Andre, not
in netmail,
not in email.

Some people yaw, bitch and moan about bad information on this
site... the ball is in your court Ward and Nick :)

Actually, you should post accurate information and not a lie such
as ...

"I've mentioned this in an email to Nick Andre and cc'd the
email
to Ward Dossche, who owns the domain now."

You never sent such a cc to me.

I don't understand your attempts at discrediting Nick, he's the
first decent ZC1 in decades ... finally no weekly complaints
anymore about the quality of the ZONE1-segment which now gets
issued automatically, as a clockwork, on time.

After failing in your FIDONEWS-putsch, failing to fuel zone-warz
is running Nick out of town now your next objective?

I don't see anybody trying to "discredit" anyone. Just somebody
trying to get changes implemented by people who resist all forms
of change.

Regardless of who's lying, you now have information (via this echo
if not by another channel), that there are updated Z1 pages that
could/should be applied to the website that you control.

What reason is there now for you to not do the update?

You would seem to be the one fueling zone-warz. Could you please
just do what has been asked of you instead of complaining about
who is {not|talking} to/about each other? Thanks!

Probably because no pages on the website about Zone 1 are going to be updated until the ZC1 has a chance to review them. Read my message to Janis.

Hi Dan,

What reason is there now for you to not do the update?

For the first time in decades ZCs finally cooperate with eachother, talk to eachother, exchange opinions .... sometimes in the closed ZCC-conference, sometimes in netmail, sometimes even email.

The consensus is that each ZC runs his or her zone and if something needs to be
posted in the fidonet.org pages reflecting on that zone, then it will not happen without the say-so of the relevant ZC.

If something is unclear, perhaps the wording of the ZC1 makes more sense.

Dan,

You could look into getting them auto-delivered via an FDN feed
from your hub, and put right into your BBS with a TIC processor
(built in to SBBS already)... Much easier and automatic once you
set it up.

I'll send a netmail to Marc Lewis. I have a batchfile set up already
to look for things like that, and to process them. But, I don't have a
TIC processor set up over here.

It's built into Synchronet, called 'Tickit'. Lots of good info on
how to set up and use it, on the Synchronet Wiki.

you don't really need one, either... just look for the file mask in your bat file and do whatever with it when it exists... the TIC can simply be deleted if
you don't need any information from it...

I'll look at it later. My Mom had to be ambulatory to a local hospital
this morning, due to a rapid health decline. I don't know how much
longer she'll last...so, except for QWK Mail, the rest of my BBS stuff
is on hold right now.

true and as a leaf node, that's all you need... if you were announcing file arrivals on your system and/or passing them on to other systems, you'd want a TIC processor running to handle them...

Dan,

I wasn't aware that Bill McGarrity had passed away recently as well.

I didn't hear about Bill passing... Damn...

That's according to an email from Janis Kracht, relayed by one of my
Visiting Sysops. I told him that "if anyone knows, she will". As a note, there's a message in the FIDOGazette echo that I saw in my packet, where
she confirmed it.

So, I had to go through and remove the SPORTNET related files, as well
as any listing to Tequilamockingbird BBS, from my system.

Then, as noted, we lost Roger Nelson (I think) from Net 3828 in
Louisiana. That doubly hit "close to home", as Louisiana is Arkansas'
southern neighbor...and the Little Rock area FIDONet was originally Net
3821.

Janis,

No, that was our Bill...

I was trying to find the email from Bill's family that he had indeed passed JK>away, but it has been too long... that message is gone and thunderbird has b JK>updated many times since then :(

Bill passed away and his family contacted me about this... It was really sad JK>remember that much. :(

Thanks for the clarification on this. You might want to put something
in the next FIDOGazette on that. Not to be macabre, but we've lost
folks like Bill McGarrity, Ben Ritchey, and Roger Nelson, among many
others.

Maybe we should have an "In Memoriam" page in tribute to those who are
"Gone, But Not Forgotten". I have one set up as webmaster for the
Arkansas State Square Dance Federation...telling of callers (square
dancing), cuers (round dancing), their taws (spouses), dancers, and
clubs, that are long gone...so folks could see what square dancing was
like in Arkansas many years ago. It's a far cry from that today.

Dan,

There have since been messages (in FidoNews, I think) that make it
clear that Bill McGarrity is still with us. The reports of his
passing are erroneous.

I just download the FIDONews and the FIDOGazette, but only read the FIDOGazette in the QWK Mail Packet. I check the IFDC website each
Thursday, and get the copies that way.

I think there is more than one "Daryl Stout" in existence...but
there's only one ham radio operator in the world with the callsign WX4QZ
(me).

They each have their own echo, perhaps you'd like to add them to

Let me explain Daryl's thoughts a little: we amateur radio operators are proud of our callsign. We've worked hard to get it and a callsign is like a fingerprint: you are the only one in the entire world with that callsign. My amateur radio callsign is KD5COL -- again, I am the only one in the world with that callsign and it identifes me uniquely. I've held that single callsign for
22 years now since having it assigned to me by the Federal Communications Commission in 1997.

It may not make complete sense to you but we hams consider our callsign a thing
of pride and we normally identify each other by our callsigns rather than our names. Daryl will frequently address me as "COL"; that is common amongst hams.

Excellent! I didn't intend my above comment to Daryl as anything
bad, just didn't really see the relevance of him putting it like
that... I fully grasp the pride you have in the callsign and
understand it completely. Something I have thought about getting
into for years (decades?) but just never have. Maybe when I
retire... Thanks and 73!
