Assuming your snide remark is referring to Z1 people...
I was in FidoNet in the early/mid 90's for a few years, and am again now
for the last 6 years or so. I didn't know Janis, then or now. So how
could I make any comments to "commemorate" her?
How many people currently in FidoNet, were also here (continuously)
since the 90's? Yes, there are some, but I bet you can count them on
your fingers only, without needing to use your toes. Even of those
people, unless they have served as a *C of some kind, how many would be
likely to actually know her? That's right....
As I said above, I did not know her, but have heard/read some about her
in recent times (even before her passing). Certainly she was a
prominent figure in the world of FidoNet, and I'm sorry she's gone, but
that's about all I can say.
