Editorial

Zone 1 Echomail weenies are into their election with a vengeance in this edition. If you don't follow the admin Echos, you're missing a swell slugfest of verbal abuse. This Issue which up to a couple days ago was going to be one of the shortest in history has swollen to gargantuan proportions with that stuff.

Speaking of Zones, what in the hell is going on with Zone 6? Anybody noticed that it's just about disappeared? Why do we still have NO International Coordinator? Do we, the Sysops, have to take over the Zone Coordinator jobs en masse with a palace coup to get some kind of REAL coordination going? Remember, ZCs, that Tom Jennings, under whose auspices you use the name FidoNet has always been in favor of wholesale overthrow when the procedure interferes with the process. WAKE UP and smell the electrons before you ALL find yourselves out of your VOLUNTEER [which doesn't mean permanent OR inactive] jobs in FidoNet. Nobody is indispensable or irreplaceable. Think about it and then DO SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE before WE do it for you.

Other than that, there is news in cyberspace. Netscape is now FREE! There are also a couple new programs available in the Internet that make interconnectivity a snap! More on those next week since this edition is already huge. AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ for those anxious to start searching. [grin]

This is a late edition due to computer probs on the other system and the SuperBowl activities. Who'd a thunk it? Denver not wiped out? It's tied! Oh, there's only 1 minute and 47 seconds to go. Might as well wait for the outcome and be the first press to get out the news. YIKES! Denver scores the lead with 1 minute and 45 seconds to go!

Final score: DENVER WINS! AMAZING! 31 to 24!! 2149!
