Hi, Christopher

I am searching in various BBSes near my home, but I cannot find FidoNews. I was a user of Ge-Link (2:332/243) BBS, now gone :-(, can you help me to find the recent issues of your newsletter on another BBS?

I'm not point, and I'm not able to do any FReq at all.
Many Hopeful Thanks :-))))

I messed up!

Dear FidoEditor;

My piece, A BBS Story, was published in the last issue. Beyond the "role reversal" of the two characters midway in the story (blame is on Samuel Adams* Gregg, that's what I'd do), the story got wordwrapped by your software.

Usually I read the instructions. I kept the right margin at less than 70 (I used 66 for some bizarre reason...), but your software reformatted the lines, even merging a couple of lines.

Just wanted to point that out (trying to save some face you see).

(That was a lame attempt to draw attention away from me. Blame it on the Editor! Just kidding of course.)

MY APOLOGIES to the good FidoPeople for making such a dumb mistake in my story, re: the two guys suddenly taking up opposite roles. Hopefully, if there was any point to the story it was not lost.

(I don't feel too dumb... At least not enough to not ever submit an article again. You all have been warned!)

* (footnote) "Samuel Adams" is a brand of beer, very good by the way. I don't know how widely marketed it is, hence this footnote.
