Hello Terry,

LL>> It is time for Fidonet to do the same. Apologize to users and allow
LL>> all to play on the same field.

TR> Good luck with that, Fidonet is a collective of Sysops which can't agree on
TR> a few simple changes so it will never happen.

With no rules to abide by, pseudonyms should be all the rage.
So please explain why so many Sysops have a fetish about "real"
names?

TR> Like many others I don't see a problem with using an alias

Then why do you support the idea that Sysops should force others
to abide by "real names only" rules in Fidonet? Since, by your own
admission, "Sysops can't agree on a few simple changes ..."

Not that there ever was such a rule.

TR> but when I brought up a few years back there was resistance so the idea died
TR> a death.

"Resistance is futile." ~Borg Collective

Jean-Luc Picard made sure the Borg no longer posed a threat.

TR> Fidonet Policy is now selective, maybe one day common sense will come into
TR> play.

Fidonet has no policy in regards to what names folks want to call
themselves - anywhere on this planet or in this universe.

For Life,
Lee
