Editorial

I have had one complaint that a submitted article via E-Mail has been unreceived, even though the submittor has indicated that the article has been sent twice now to the "editor@fidonews.org" address.

Contrary to popular opinion, the FidoNews web site is operated by a third party, and not directly under the control of the Editor.

We have not ascertained if the problem is on this end or that end, but....

If anyone else has had similar problems, please send me a note to one of the other E-Mail addresses, or submit the article via netmail so we can be sure to print what is actually received. The addresses are listed below in the masthead information area at the end of the issue.

I would appreciate the information, so that it can be forwarded to Jim Barchuk, who operates the web site at his own expense.

And, if I haven't done this before, I'll thank Jim for his assistance in making FidoNews available to the world.

In other news, the battle to wrest control of the EchoMail Listing has now moved into high gear, with the RECC all but demanding that the Z1C choose a particular system.

Odd how this came out immediately after the existance of other ELIST systems was announced in the FidoNews.

One would think that a more prudent RECC would look at all of the possibile systems before settling on one...or is this just another jab at the ZEC, and the RECC refusal to work with him?

More odd that the RECC would claim that the ZEC is supposedly to 'moderate and present' to the RECC, but then turns around to lock the ZEC out of discussions, then claim that the ZEC is not doing his assigned duties.

But then, these are also the same people who present in their erstwhile ultimatum to the Z1C that they wish the ELIST process to be above politics, while using the same proposed system as a political tool.

How so very interesting.
