I guess it's about normal?

Last week was a holiday in the U.S.A. and some other countries as well. I guess it's just normal that on holidays, most people have nothing better to do than send articles to the Fidonews. After all, the lakes and recreation areas are packed and the battle to get to them is terrible. There's nothing open to go do. Many are on vacation on these weeks. What else is there to do other than write articles for the Fidonews and messages in the Fidonet echos?

Last week I was thrilled to have so many articles sent in. It was great! There was news from all around Fidonet and beyond. Most of the articles were from you... not me. It was beautiful.

Let's not forget that the Fidonews and Fidonet are here every week. Not just holidays or vacation time.

I realize as well as anyone that jobs and family come first. There is always something to do and vacations are important to us all for a "break in the routine". Let just not forget that Fidonet is part of our family and the Fidonews is important to Fidonet.

It's understandable when some things come before Fidonet and the Fidonews, but sad when Fidonet and the Fidonews are put on the bottom of the list. :(

Thanks to all of you who send in articles. Thanks as well to all of you who read the articles and write messages in Fidonet.
