You use the 'we'-word often ... the fact is 'design by committee' does not work. The only thing that ever brought some change to Fidonet is someone having an idea and developing it him/herself and then some people liking where-after it takes flight. You sound a little bit like a consultant ... that's not necessarily meant in a bad way but consultants are in the business of selling wind. I can't remember how old this echo is, but for the 15 or more years it has existed there was a lot of wind and zero result. Eventually you'll learn "the why" ... nobody gives a shite. \%/@rd --- DB4 * Origin: Hou het veilig, hou vol. Het komt allemaal weer goed (2:292/854) .
