The troublemakers are all old men who don't have a place in the world
anymore.  Bjorn and Ward are widowers and that must be terrible to deal
with.  Michiel is just a crank (he's a ham radio operator also) and
Winifred, I mean Wilfred, just likes to pretend he's a devloper; in Fmail,
he hasn't actually fixed anything.  he's just put his name in it as its
developer.

They're hanging on for their halcyon days when they "had power" and
supposedly mattered.  Fidonet dies off 29 years ago when the Internet
(DARPAnet) was declassified by Clinton.  These idiots started Fidoweb which
basicly into a lawless wasteland.

I'm still in Fidonet because of one caller I have.  He's 84 now and when he
falls off his log, I may disconnect from Fidonet.
