I don't see the value of that rule. What's the point? And what's the
harm of anonymity? Considering that fewer than 10 people, worldwide no
less, actually give a hoot about PCBoard, who cares?

However, while I'm at it, I do favor rules banning top posting. It's
irritating and lazy. I support the echo death penalty for incorrigible
top posters.

I used to work at a place where top posting in response to an email was a requirement. If anyone ever replied to an email like I am replying to this posting, they would get their heads bitten off. Quite ridiculous if you ask me, bust some companies have rules that are like that.

the rules are a simple set that i derived from several other of the sets of echos' rules i handle... fidonet is a real names network so real names are required in most echomail areas...

However, while I'm at it, I do favor rules banning top posting.
It's irritating and lazy. I support the echo death penalty for incorrigible top posters.

i feel the same way... people really should post inline in the same way that a real life verbal conversation takes place... we might add that ;)

with that said,

1. you should have posted this to my attention in netmail; Rule 4 ;)

2. i am considering amending the above Rule 5 so that handles/aliases
can be used as long as either the From: field or the signature
contain the poster's real name. this is a compromise used in many
other echos these days and i don't have a problem with it. the
main thing is for folks knowing who they are conversing with and
not having "nym hopping" as is seen in some areas.

3. right now, at this time, i'll allow this topic to be open for some
discussion but it should not detract from the overall purpose of
the echo.

Well if the place was infested with trolls that might matter. But trolls
follow the crowd, and the crowd is long gone. Neither the crowd, nor any trolls, will ever return.

A few BBS historians are all that's left. Do we really need pointless

I don't think this echo has any real purpose except for some occasional
chit chat between a few old die-hards (myself included). How important,
or relevant, can that really be?

OTOH, I see posts in alt.bbs.pcboard, dicussing the PCBoard source code,
posted a person or persons, who, judging by their "name," wish to remain anonymous. If they can't do that here, seems a loss to me.

The source code is more relevant than idle chit chat. I'm not opposed to
idle talk, but it's surely not as relevant as the source code. If this
echo is to have any real purpose at all, contributors to the source code
should be welcome, while remaining anonymous.

at this time, this is true... however, if someone were to pick up development and carry the software on further than it has ever been, that would be something else ;)

How important, or relevant, can that really be?

i dunno... i echolisted the area to ensure that it is not removed from distribution by those systems that require echolisting for cartage... this was done to keep it available for those desiring to have a place to discuss it :)

OTOH, I see posts in alt.bbs.pcboard, dicussing the PCBoard source
code, posted a person or persons, who, judging by their "name,"
wish to remain anonymous. If they can't do that here, seems a loss
to me.

maybe, maybe not... we don't have the problems here in fidonet that are seen in
other social environments that allow anonymous posters... also, it is anonymous
posters that are the problem... well known posters that have used the same "nym" for a decade or more are a slightly different matter... folks who do know
them likely do know some personal facts about them... all we're looking at is their name... some people rather talk to someone and call them by their real name... it just feels closer and more friendly...

The source code is more relevant than idle chit chat. I'm not
opposed to idle talk, but it's surely not as relevant as the source
code. If this echo is to have any real purpose at all, contributors
to the source code should be welcome, while remaining anonymous.

i don't have any problem as long as they are known... in other words, if someone pops in out of the blue using some "nym" that no one has ever heard of or seen before, how can they be trusted? on the other hand, if a well known name (say 15+ years known) comes in and posts, the trust is inherently based on
how long they have been actively known by that "nym"...

Well, take a look at the contents of the FN_SYSOP echo that is running

It is important for those who run PCBoard and for operators that want information pertinent to the PCBoard software.

OTOH, I see posts in alt.bbs.pcboard, dicussing the PCBoard source

information pertinent to the PCBoard software.

During the last two years, I've seen very little of that, in this echo. Sounds more like a nostalgic Fidonet fantasy, than reality.

When we heard that sombody had the source and was developing it to modernize it, a lot of us kept watching here for some sort of progress report. Sadly it never came. Had there been some progress, I'm sure that some of us would have switched back to PCB.

if this is the only place you looked, you didn't look very hard.

Sadly it never came.

It's not hard to find. I found it.

Had there been some progress, I'm sure that some of us would have
switched back to PCB.

Why? Synchronet is easier for lazy people. Enjoy hoarding your manuals.

Pray tell, where else whould you look in Fido?

What did you find?

switched back to PCB.

I dont think it is any easier. In fact I found it difficult after all those yeas running PCB. As for Hoarding, I dont think so. They are mementos right now, and of tjere was some way I could revert, easily with Telnet and Web Page, I would do so in an instant, and they might be usefull again. Clark Development was working on an internet suite if memory serves. That is partly what I was waiting for as well.

you should have netmail access at the system you are posting from

Is that a Fidonet requirement? Is it in writing?

Actually, I believe the requirement is that the system you have access
to have netmail WORKING, not that you necessarily have to have access
to it.
