I don't know if I've ever accessed Fido via newsgroups outside of BBSes using
JAMNNTP or similar. But if it's through a regular Newsgroup provider, do
those messages have a distinct node or are they linked to an existing BBS in
some other manner?
But my point was actually more to Augusts remarks than yours. Telegram
groups as they are as a whole is more like a BBS than a mirror.
