Oli,
I was waiting for you to chime in ...
O> Who cares if there are 6 or 7 members? What difference does it make?
Rules have been invented in the past by people believing these were good rules.
I didn't come up with 6 or 7 or 3 or 12 or whatever.
O> What did you expect? You comment the resignation of a member with
O> "another one bites the dust".
Yes, and I was being very friendly even when putting it that way.
Sean Dennis was announcing that he was the fall-back ZC1, the #2 at the
controls claiming to people outside of Fidonet to possess knowledge that I had
agreed to kick Bjorn Felten out of the nodelist, just like that. And I gave him
my opinion, unsalted (I hope you read this Bjorn and remember it next time when
you're hinting that I'm planning to remove you) where-upon the man announced he
was packing up and leaving. He announced this more than once before and I still
wait to see it happen.
I not only welcome his resignation from the FTSC, where he was absolutely
useless and only became elected during the last convulsions of the zone warz,
but also to his disappearance from the nodelist <period>.
O> You couldn't resist to be the first to piss
O> over the first (and only) candidate who showed up.
The election format states that ...
"To be selected as a FTSC member, an individual must be a Fidonet
node, and should be actively involved in Fidonet. Examples include
having put out a Fidonet-related product or having updated a product
in the preceding two years, or having experience as a Coordinator,
Echomail Coordinator or mail or file Hub."
I would say that my question(s) (and Alexei Vissarionov's) is/are warranted by
the fact that Deon, without inferring anything about the person, has been
active in Fidonet:
Apr.16 1993 > Sept.16 1994 ... a whopping 17 months
Aug.22 2018 > Now ............ a whopping 15 months
No trace of experience as a coordinator, nor as an echomail coordinator, nor as
a file-hub.
I read something exciting though about videotex, which is a technology in my
mind long abandoned, but sounds exciting enough, as I slightly worked on it
while still gainfully employed by our telco, to learn what the plan is ...
although it makes me think more of a BBS than a Fidonet-node.
Just for you ... this is what I wrote that you are procastinating about ...
*****************************************************************************
My concern is we do not need another person seeking a title or thinking it is
important to have zonal representation ... there are absolutely incompetent
people already in the FTSC. So if you qualify technically, I am eager to find
out.
*****************************************************************************
Pls read "I am eager to find out" ...
The chances of getting one's feet wet when one pisses on someone are way to
high for even considering it.
O> One could get the impression you enjoy the destruction of Fidonet, but
O> then tell everybody you did everything you could do to prevent it and it
O> was everyone else's fault.
Wouldn't you think it is time for yourself meanwhile to do something ...
anything ... other than your ramblings against me? You may make a lot of noise,
but you fail to deliver something ... anything.
