Hello Ward!

Thank you for using Fidonet in your endeavor to wake up lazy nodes to take a little responsibility for their own good.

It would really be nice to have notices and other articles from you once in a while, maybe `once a month paragraph' from the IC.

I would be happy to create a section in Makenews to create a new "From the IC's Corner", (or what ever caption you choose), to bring our entire world net into a closer relationship where our brotherhood flourish in finding each other's respect rather than nit picking our differences.

This submission you send today is an excellent example of reaching out to make the connections necessary to heal rips in the fabric of our beloved Fidonet. We all must work a little harder.

Again, thank you very much Ward.

This is an important request, thus I listed it in two places in the Snooze this week, to catch the eye of those who rapidly scroll past the Index and Header to the first Column. Please forgive the redundancy.

I honestly believe it's time to put "the rubber on the road" to let the members of FidoNet know how we are being represented, what agendas may be in place, and from that members should have a much clearer indication of the nature of our "governing" body.

As the time with no response increases, so does the heartburn level, and good medical practice doesn't embrace sitting by idly whilst the acid builds up. It would appear to me that it's time for a remedy.
