    There's nothing wrong with possessions; it's just that they have
    value to us only when we use them, engage them, and enjoy them. 
    They're nouns that mean something only in conjunction with
    verbs.  That's why wealth is so dangerous: if you're not careful
    you can easily end up with a garage full of nouns.

                  The Old School Toolbox

                Connecting the Wetware, Part VI.
    
    To recap, we're talking about Fidonet and Usenet, two networks
    based ostensibly on principles of positive anarchy.    We're
    looking at why usenet seems to maintain enough critical mass and
    even draws in some newcomers occasionally, where Fidonet sort of
    limps along.  I've always felt that one of the main problems was
    that Fidonet, according to policy wanted it both ways.  
    
    I've already discussed the problem with the section of policy
    discussing Fidonews, a pretty hard and fast rule recognized more in
    the breach over the years it would seem.  Expediency carried the
    day, hard and fast rule be damned.  Getting policy changed was
    impossible, so we go along and do what needs to be done.
    
    Another major bone of contention was the basic organization, which
    on the surface appears totally logical.  After all, this is a hobby
    network, and a geographical organization would appear to be most
    effective from both a cost standpoint, and as a method of
    recruiting and educating sysops.  But, as we know, Usenet survived
    without any such hard and fast rule, even before usenet was
    connected by full time links.  Usenet like Fidonet was based on
    systems dialing each other when rates were lowest.  Yet Usenet
    didn't dictate how you joined.  If you could get someone to give
    you a feed you connected to them.  If you were in Springfield,
    Illinois and wished to call Australia for your feed and were
    willing to eat the toll charges that was between you and your feed. 
    But Fidonet tried to bring some logic to the system.  
    
    Logic as it appears wasn't always logical however.  Your humble
    writer ran into this one back in the middle 1990's when relocating
    to southeastern Iowa.  A call to my NC for routed netmail was a
    toll call, in state.  Rates were higher than dialing out of state. 
    But, when asking the RC what I should do when I knew a move was
    immanent I was told to join eastern Iowa net.  I became a hub for
    other boards in my local calling area, but still getting our routed
    netmail required an in state toll call.  It wasn't long before i
    found an out of state echomail feed, which lowered my costs there,
    but I still couldn't find a way to get routed netmail where we
    connected up for our echomail.  A couple of schemes were floated
    that would have worked, but politics got in the way.  Even then,
    (1995) the quest for cheap mail was breaking the local net concept.
    
    About the time Ifna  was going toes up so was Pc Pursuit, which
    meant that the major force driving Fidonet was the quest for
    cheaper mail.  This quest for cheap mail resulted in a further
    erosion of cohesiveness and common purpose.  The only common bond
    local sysops had with each other was the constant hunt for lower
    cost mail. Enter services such as Planetconnect, and anybody
    willing to put up a dish and set up a system to dial into Tennessee
    or wherever to drop off outbound mail, and pick up the
    transmissions of the dish to feed others was suddenly a
    distributor, most times nonprofit, but sometimes as a money making
    endeavor.  The only loyalty you had was to the guy who would
    deliver your next mail bundle, and if you found somebody who would
    do it cheaper than the guy you were using then goodbye old feed,
    hello new feed.  Everybody became fair weather friends.  Just try
    to get folks cooperating when they have no real incentive to do it. 
    I dare you, as an old guitar player buddy of mine used to say.
    
    Policy was developed with lower cost as one of its driving factors,
    but as we can see when looking at history, even then policy didn't
    keep up with the changes necessitated by lowering costs.  Combine
    this with p4 not fitting well with operations in other zones, and
    it's obvious that eventually there will be a major breakdown if
    that disconnect between policy and day to day operations is not
    resolved.  To better understand how this disconnect became a
    problem even in North America we'll look at the history of the
    cheaper mail quest next time in greater detail.

    Cooking: Even SysOps Have to Eat
    By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net
    
    Cooking Echo Picnic Plans Underway!
    
    The 2012 Cooking Echo Picnic is being planned now!  Join in the discussion
    in the Fidonet Cooking Echo.
    
    Current plans call for the Picnic to be held at our home, in Ithaca NY.  
    
    The date for the picnic hasn't been set yet, but current plans are for a
    weekend following July 10th, 2012 since that is the closing date on the new
    house :)  
    
    Dates that look like they will work for us are:
    July 19,20,21, 22  
     *this one could be tight for us, but if nothing else works for people, we
     * can make it work.
    or
    July 26,27,28,29
    or
    August 2,3,4,5
    
    
    Please post in the cooking echo soon if you're planning on attending so we
    can get a sense of attendance.  
    
    The address of our new home is 2682 Slaterville Road, in Slaterville
    Springs, NY, 14881.  The house is just about 10 minutes or less from the
    city of Ithaca NY.
    
    My advice for lodgings nearby would be at one of the Bed and Breakfasts.
    
    We'll have room for a few people to stay at our home (1 bedroom, and space
    for sleeping bags in the living room).  There is a great yard for camping
    outside as well.

    INFO:
    
    Fidogazette is published by Janis Kracht, Editor, with the
    help of Richard Webb 1:116/901 (Old School ToolBox).  If
    you have an ideKa for a column or a series of articles,
    please contact me :)
    
    New! 
    MailingList subsriptions via 
    www.filegate.net // lists / ?p=subscribe
    but of course you can always link into your uplink and use 
    Tick or a tick compatible program.
    
    Where to Send Your Articles
    
    Unlike most editors, I surely do not  mind running my mouth
    when there is a sparcity of articles for the 'zine.  I'd
    MUCH rather you sent in material...  lacking that, I will
    fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and
    hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here
    :)
    
    Write an article!
    
    If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop
    your article off at:
    
    Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net
     
    Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38
     Modem: 607-655-5652 
     Binkp: 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 
     telnet mailer: filegate.net
    
    If you are using routed fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed 
    attaches.  They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here.
    Send them instead direct to filegate.net.
       
    Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have
    one and send it along!
    
    Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me
    and mutilate it further as you can see above.  Linux is nice
    that way (g).  Spell checking your own work will help though
    (something I'm typically guilty of (g)).
     
    To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or
    netmail Janis as above.
    
    Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug:
      To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to:
          drdebug @  filegate.net 
      or post in the fidogazette echo!  :)
    
    To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your 
    listing to:
      bbslist @ filegate.net 
    or post it in the fidogazette echo!
