WHAT'S NOT HAPPENING

There isn't always something happening on Fidonet, but there's always something which isn't happening. This column is dedicated to the lost causes which make Fido what it isn't today. Published semi-occasionally...

History has proven the detractors of Bob Satti wrong. They thought that Bob could never hold on as Zone 1 Coordinator if there were ever to be a participatory election...

Well, it's been two and a half months, and Bob is still at the top of the nodelist. Of course, we elected David Moufarrege...

... by a landslide, actually. David was full of good ideas which captured the imagination of those who held hope for a better zone 1. It's not as if Fido is in dire straits with the experienced hand of Bob Satti at the helm... but it's been two and a half months.

To be fair, David delayed assuming his elected position citing family problems which had priority. Now it's tough to criticize a man who puts family ahead of his hobby... but it's been two and a half months.

David, our hearts are with you in your time of difficulty. You don't deserve to be the top story in the What's Not Happening column... but it's been two and a half months.
