FOOD FOR THOUGHT
=================================================================
Fidonet is a museum piece. We are a shipping company with ships,
captains and pilots, but without passengers or cargo.
We keep the ships going because we like running ships, but it serves
no real purpose any more, other than our own personal satisfaction.
Thinking that we can ever do more than museum trips is day dreaming.

EDITORIAL
=================================================================
This week we have something as unique as a Food for Thoughts entry
from our own network (i.e. fidonet, of course). It's so on spot, I
even contemplate letting it become what that old Gandhi quote about
the Western civilization was some years ago, a permanent part of the
Snooze. Nah... Not really... That would once again cause too many
accusations of your's truly being biased, and that I want to avoid at
any cost.
So, where are we really letting this shipping company go, then?
Well, to this observer it's obvious that those that are supposed to be
the ultimate interpreters of our policy is no longer acting with the
best of the company as their leading star.
A handful of people are constantly pushing the myth that our policy
is so outdated, that the only good use of it would be to print it on
paper and use it in our "outhouses".
But who are we, to disavow the thoughts of our founding fathers
like that? We may frown upon the fact that they could not foresee the
technology that we now, almost 20 years later, have. But claiming that
Policy 4 is a piece of outdated crap is as valid as claiming that the
US Constitution is a piece of outdated crap. Only we have better than
a 1:10 ratio in our (fidonet's) time favour here.
To pick up on the shipping analogy, it seems some people on the
bridge of our ship are so fascinated with the new navigational
technology, such as satellite navigation, they forgot one important
rule on any ship's bridge: "Always do manual navigation parallel to
the modern one, as a backup when the technology fails!" And the
technology *will* fail. It's not a question of if, it's a question of
when, as every good captain knows. The sad thing is, that when the
rest of the crew, and even many of the passengers, point out that the
ship is going in the wrong direction, the people on the bridge dismiss
them with a smirk remark like "You don't understand this, we are the
only ones that do!"
Let's take a look at some parts of the "outdated piece of crap". In
fact, lets start with the very first sentence (all initial disclaimers
removed):
> This document establishes the policy for sysops who are members
> of the FidoNet organization of electronic bulletin board systems.
Now, how can anyone not understand that fidonet is a BBS network,
with the sole purpose to connect all BBSs around the world into one,
big, virtual BBS? Obviously the politicians in our network can, or
else they would not allow single-user entries into the nodelist.
Next let's take a short stop by the following:
> Zone Mail Hour (ZMH) is a defined time during which all nodes in a
> zone are required to be able to accept netmail.
FIDONEWS 21-22 Page 3 31 May 2004
We now have a ZCC ruling that this is no longer required. You are
allowed to select from whom you will accept netmail, no matter what
the nodelist entry says. "Hey, you idiot, this is *my* system, and I
am entitled to do whatever I please with it!" That's the message our
highest authority has sent to all of us, whether we've agreed upon the
policy, that used to be a requisite to connect to this network, or
not.
To be honest, policy actually *does* say something along that line,
but it has a very big exception written into it:
> As the sysop of an individual node, you can generally do as you
> please, as long as you observe mail events
... but it seems to handle exactly the same case, so I guess it's
equally revoked by the ZCC ruling.
On my BBS, those users that have donated a small amount of money
into their crashmail account, can send crashmail to any other user on
a different BBS, and the BBS software will calculate the cost for that
call and deduct the proper amount of money from their account (usually
a very small amount nowadays, by the way).
Now, if a user wants to send a crashmail to a user on another BBS,
where the sysop don't like the sysop on my BBS (i.e. me) and therefore
has passworded my system out, what then? Well, those that do not run a
BBS have of course never contemplated this possibility, which once
again proves, that if you ignore the very first sentence of our
policy, you are bound to navigate totally wrong.
And then, as we go along Policy 4, we obviously cannot sidestep the
classic:
> In order to understand the meaning of "excessively annoying", it is
> incumbent upon all sysops to occasionally re-read FidoNet policy.
Just saying, that "I think this pee4 is a piece of crap, and I will
certainly *not* read it", does not give anyone, wanting to stay
connected to our big, virtual BBS, the right to just dismiss it. Once
upon a time you *did* agree to follow the policy. Noone forced you to
connect your system to the fidonet, you *did* agree to follow our
policy voluntarily. If now you've come to the conclusion that you no
longer want to follow it, it's as easy as 1, 2, 3: just disconnect and
you no longer have to follow our crappy policy!
Now, I could go on forever with this. But I think it will soon
become very boring, so I will refrain from that. All I'm asking is,
that those of you still thinking, that running this old, outdated
shipping company is a fascinating adventure, please make sure that
your voices are heard.

EDITOR'S CORNER
=================================================================
Spam, spam, spam -- suddenly it's fun
I don't know about you, dear reader, but at least I think that spam is
enough related to fidonet to make it a proper topic in the Snooze. If
you disagree, feel welcome to send a Letter To The Editor, speaking
your mind.
Anyway, I found this fantastic tool on the internet, called Abuse!
And the fact that a co-author seems to be Joe Jared (can this maybe be
"our" Joe Jared?) doesn't make it less fascinating. :)
It takes some effort to configure Abuse! if you want to take full
advantage of it, but once you're done it's very impressive. Watching
it analyze a spam e-mail is really interesting, especially if you
enable all the different details it can report. It can even
distinguish between direct spam and hi-jacked computers (open
pryxy/relay) and send different reports (totally configurable, of
course) to the appropriate e-mail address(es).
Tell you what, nowadays I'm almost looking forward to finding spam
in my inbound, just to have the pleasure of watching Abuse! do it's
thing.
The program, that is completely free, can be downloaded from:
http://spam-abuse.sourceforge.net
If many enough people would use this tool, I bet we could soon put
an end to the spam plague. Unfortunately, for those that don't use
Outlook Express, it's probably a wee bit awkward to use, but it *is*
possible even if it takes some cut&paste. Something that you don't
have to worry about from OE, all you have to do is drag the spam into
the working pane of Abuse! and hit the Analyze button.

HUMOUR IN A FIDO VEIN
=================================================================
If life was like a computer
If you messed up your life, you could press "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" and
start all over.
To get your daily exercise, just click on "Run".
If you need a break from life, click on "Suspend". Hit "Any key" to
continue life when ready.
To get even with the neighbors, turn up the sound blaster volume.
If life gets too noisy, turn off the speakers.
To add/remove someone in your life, click Settings -> Control panel.
To improve your appearance, just adjust the display settings.
When you loose your car keys, click on "Find".
"Help" with the chores is just a click away.
Auto insurance wouldn't be necessary. Instead, you would use your
diskette to recover from a crash.
Click "Send now" and a Pizza would be on it's way.

FIDONEWS INFORMATION
=================================================================
How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain ASCII text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's
probably quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 12:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known..

If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
