Subject: FIDONET Nodes on Internet

Greetings,

I was just browsing FIDONEWS from June 15th and saw an article saying you're looking for a list of FIDONET nodes on Internet.

My Amiga BBS serves a web page at http://tfbbs.tvinet.com and provides telnet access via a BSD like TCP/IP stack. It has been on a 24x7 dedicated connection since late March 1993.

I'm located in Region 17 (Vancouver, BC Canada) Node: 1:153/765.0

Cheers,
Dana_H

Policy

Date: Thu, 11 Jun 1998 23:22:43 -0500
From: Mitchell <mitchell@3dmail.com>
To: editor@fidonews.org
Subject: Policy

Thank you for taking the time to read my e-mail. My name is Randy Mitchell. I'm co-sysop of "The Collin County Station" in McKinney, TX. I also run a point from the same board.

The reason for my message is to find out where I might be able to locate a cite in FidoNet rules, regulations, or policy about posting practices and norms. I know that most of what needs to be known about posting messages in certain echoes are basic common sense, but occasionally, as you may well know, one runs into a person who doesn't have a clue as to what policies should be adhered to.

Let me give an example:

A few postings in a specific echo are of a particular subject and one of the participants make a claim that sounds rather unbelievable. He is called upon to back his statement up with cites and the sources of the cites, but refuses to do so claiming that the other participants should look up the site themselves.

Now I know something of this nature may sound petty and childish to even be concerned about, but it would be advantageous to those who enjoy a good debate or discussion to have something in writing with which to quote from when being faced with a situation such as this.

The moderator of the specific echo I'm concerned with doesn't seem to want to get involved in the discussion and there really is no need. I don't believe any rules have been broken (other than drifting from the topic:-) ever so slightly ) .

Once again, I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Comments to remarks
in this week's FidoNews

> That means (for you keeping score) that Rune Johansen, Peter

> one 'official' announcement has yet to be made...

To the best of my knowledge, there is no "requirement" that such a thing should be announced in FidoNews. While I can see why it could be a good thing, I don't think it's really required. Those who are interested in the proceedings of the FTSC should read the FTSC_PUBLIC echo (which, I admit, I forgot to post my announcement to).

Anyway, I've not officially resigned yet, since they others are deciding whether to allow me to contine after dropping down to a point system (I don't want to tie my main computer up with OS/2 all the nights, because I cannot use it to logon remotely over the network). I'm planning on returning to node status when I can afford a harddisk for my secondary computer (which probably will not be until the autumn), and then I will ask if I can be "re-instaded" (if they decide to kick me out now).

Hello Bob,

I claim to not publish the comercial news about acounts or trial soft. This would be only the beginning of a real commercialization One has to defend it in the begining yet.

The most interesting part of the fnews is allways the first part, were (like in a telegram) the Big F's of the Fidonet are announced.

more of them!
