    The Internet is obviously a very important part of our Fidonet
    experience these days. Even way back however, well before the
    Internet was a part of daily life, security issues forced us to
    maintain good habits regarding passwords with our mailers,
    accounts on bbs's and more. Today is no different. Perhaps
    though security with passwords is more important however since
    each of us uses so many devices in a typical day's time. Hence
    the articles in this issue regarding the passwords we use.

    Also in this issue, you'll see my request to the Zone 1 RCs to
    clean up our section of each RC's segment regarding usage of the
    INA: statement. I was rather surprised to see so many errors in
    this flag's usage in Zone 1. As you may remember, the INA: flag
    was created by then R18C, Ross Cassell when long lines in the
    nodelist became an issue in R18. We can thank Ross for his
    insight then in creating a flag that is still pertinent and very
    much in use today.
