                             FOOD FOR THOUGHT
     =================================================================

     The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the
     urge to rule it.

     Power is what all messiahs really seek; not the chance to serve.

     This is true even of the pious brethren who carry the gospel to
     foreign parts.

                            -- H. L. Mencken

                     Nodelisting in dual zones
                          Ward Dossche

     With the advent of the internet the desire to have nodes listed in
     multiple zones has increased.

     The ZCs have always tried to stay away from it as it might be the
     opening of a can of very live worms.

     Some time ago however a Canadian sysop with Greek ancestry by the
     name of Dimitri Papadopoulas requested such a Z2-nodenumber.

     He runs a pretty successful Greek-themed BBS-operation from the
     Montreal-area which extends into zone-2. To make it more
     appealing for people from Greece to participate, he asks for
     this entry.

     Z1C and Z2C discussed this to reach a unified response.
     After carefull consideration and without neither Z3C or Z4C
     objecting, we decided to grant the request of Dimitri Papadopoulos.
     The concerned ZC/RC/NC in both zones all share the same ideas.

     It is at the same time hoped that this dual listing will encourage
     the rebuilding of some Zone-2 areas.

     Dimitri will enter the segment of Zone-2 soon as part of Region-56
     and a new yet to-be-created net-411 for Greece.

     The ZCs wish to stress that this is not to trigger a general trend
     but a single well argumented case that got approved.

     Take care,

     Ward Dossche (and Janis Kracht)

     =================================================================

                  Ward's Wondering Ways
                  By Ward Dossche
                  2:292/854

     In July 1969 man walked for the first time on the moon, First the
     recently deceased Neil Armstrong, followed moments later by
     Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

     Everybody even today knows Armstrong's landmark "One small step for
     man; one giant leap for mankind" statement. It was followed by
     several remarks, the usual COM traffic between him, the other
     astronauts, on the mission and Mission Control. Before he re-entered
     the lander, he allegedly made the enigmatic remark

           "Good luck, Mr. Gorsky."

     For years people have questioned what it meant and Armstrong never
     commented upon it.

     However, 26 years after the moonwalk he did. Apparently mr.Gorsky
     had passed away and Armstrong felt free to speak now.

     Armstrong and his brother, so the tale goes, were playing baseball
     in the backyard. His brother hit a ball which landed in front of
     the Gorsky's, their neighbors, bedroom window.

     As young Armstrong leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard
     Mrs.Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, "Oral sex? Oral sex you want?
     You'll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!"

     So during the summer of 2004 I was in Seward Alaska
     and on a particular date visiting the SeaLife Center there which
     had been established with oil compensation money after the "Exxon
     Valdez" disaster.

     It so happened that Aldrin was visiting that day and there was a
     handful of tickets for people to attend a presentation by the once
     moonwalker from 34 years before.

     It was pretty interesting. For example, the man was very short but
     that never really shows from pictures, however these astronauts
     had to be short, if you ever have seen an Apollo spaceship in the
     National Air & Space Museum on the Mall in Washington DC, you'd
     realise how cramped it was.

     After his presentation there were some minutes for Q&A so I tried
     my luck and asked clarification about the Gorsky-statement. Aldrin
     had to laugh and explained it was one of the best space-jokes ever
     but that none of it was true.

     It was a hoax which started in about 1995, he explained which could
     only have a life due to the internet, the speed of dispersal of
     FIDONEWS 30-05               Page 4                    4 Feb 2013


     "news" and the impossibility of stopping a hoax such as that to
     reproduce itself.

     "Next Question!"

     So there was this very fat lady asking "When you were outthere on
     the surface of the Moon, did you have some kind of a divine moment
     inspired by a higher being?"

     Aldrin looked at the woman, smiled and said ...

     "Lady, we went there for all mankind, not just for Presbytareans"

     ... and "that" is a true quote.

                           JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
     =================================================================

                 The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project

     This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
     the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.

     You connect to them using the email client of your choice and you
     don't need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless
     of operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.

     Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
     your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
     your job, school or whatever.

                            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, 22:00 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.

     Ideas for Subject areas:

         Subject                  File |      Subject                 File

      Best of Fidonet            *.bof |  Letters to the Editor      *.let

     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.
