Editorial

Dear Fidoland friends, this is sadly (for me) my last issue as your Editor. After a laser surgery follow up exam, my Ophthalmologist has put a one hour a day maximun on my computer time. I have to use eye drops every six hours that give me a headache too. So I can't possibly put out an issue thus restricted.

I have named FRANK VEST as the new Editor. Frank has reluctantly accepted. He being the lead columnist, plus he has patched the old Makenews with his new RUNEWS so that it makes things fit in Makenews, finds both visable and invisable illegal characters and hex corrects. Thanks Frank for the many, many tests you worked hard to perfect.

To the ladies of Fidonet I owe a special thanks for their contributions and submissions. To all who sent in articles and letter a special thanks also. With out your submissions there would be no "bricks or mortar" with which to build the Fidonews.

For all others who feel that the Snooze has too many sections, use your down arrow key to whatever does interest you. It would be a very dull Snooze if it had ONLY fido technostuff as some have stated to be the ONLY purpose of Fidonews. Fortunately, the founder and subsequent Editors found the bigger window with more sections for you readers to submit articles and to enjoy other's submissions.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your Editor since Doug's sudden departure (may he rest in peace, and the blessings of his Deity be with him). It's been a real `hoot' and personal pleasure to have been privileged to serve as Editor.

I am sorry this week is so barren, I just haven't had enough time and some submissions wouldn't process as they were presented. Sorry I didn't have time enough to make repairs. They may appear next week. If permitted I will occasionally crank out an "Ol'WDB's Column".

'Till then, God Bless.
