Dales system was a victim of a lightning strike from a thunderstorm late last
summer of 2007, I want to say in September. The day after, he told me of this
in a instant messaging session and he sounded as if he was going to go out that
day to a store and buy a new setup. As a result, I have taken on most of his
links, while others went to other hubs.
I havent rushed him (obviously) and if it were someone else I was less familiar
with, I probably would be less patient. Despite the past wars and severe
fighting, I cannot overlook that which he has done for Fidonet at least before
all that friction.
I emailed him a month ago to get a update on his status or intentions, he
sounds like he is stuck in the middle of a decision making process, trying to
decide if the effort is worth his time, I dont want to get pushy in this
respect, because I dont want to force him into a decision he might not make if
left alone to decide.
I do know he has taken up being a major booster for local high school sports,
operating message boards and web sites and with his own kids being of that age.
Anyway, this is why I have and am leaving him in the nodelist until I am told
different. (By him)
