==================
 PL> I said I'd like to see the old FidoNews echo I knew back,

   Then you are nothing but a dreamer.

   Back then, anyone with the slightest bit of sense thought twice before they
hooked up on echoes like PASCAL or C_ECHO because that would set them back
hundreds of (fill in your preferred currency here) every month.

   Back then, there were some 100,000 active users all over the world writing
in fidonet echoes, from thousands of BB systems.

   Back then, it was easier to make a Snooze contribution than pulling a camel
through a needle's eye.

   Now, anno 2004, we are happy if we can maintain at least a few dozen echoes
with acceptable traffic.

   Now, anno 2004, it's more important than ever that we all cooperate to keep
this ship afloat.

   So... given that you don't object too vividly about any of the above, can
you honestly say, that you think you have acted responsibly, and with the best
interest of fidonet in mind, the last week or so?

   I ask you, and not one of "the others", this question, because to me you
still hold a certain amount of respect.
