Hey guy. I didn't know you were still around. When I saw your message about shutting your BBS, I figured you were long gone. Also, I didn't know you owned it. The community was quite negative about my idea and turned me off - they really seemed to hate the gazette and fidonet in general going by their attitudes. I decided not to stick around because other echoes have friendlier people. Though, I did get a good number of good responses privately. And as such...

In the aftermath of the discussion on Fidonet, I was at the MRC meetup on Friday - it was suggested I create another newsletter on fsxnet. So, I grabbed my existing concepts and got to work. And as you say, I'm leaving the gazette alone. It's not mine, as you say.
I still have much to decide on what to do. Frequency of submission, static topics, rotating topics, the name (that's a tough one).
I apologize by the way - hope I didn't unintentionally offend you. I'm glad you're still around.
