I said you probably don't care about the policy and in your position you should. WD> ",Down" ... a rose by any other name still is a rose ... unreachable ... unlisted ... unavailable ... inexistant ... take your pick Again those 4 words are wrong. BTW I think you mean none existent, try reading what I said- just as the Quantum worm hole is listed as down, in your words meaning NO way to connect YET I was on that BBS a few hours ago, how can I connect to system that is not there? Thank you for considering my BBS a rose even while listed s down. and after NEVER having logged on! I consider you a thorn on the stem of FIDO, with the wrong attitude to be in the position you are. AND see I am not the only one who thinks your attitude is misplaced for such a position.

WD> instruction on how to look up things. Really? WD> SM> https://nodehist.fidonet.org.ua/?name=Owen+Evers Your quoting a message from someone else, not you searching. all you needed to do is look in the list its self, like this ,2,Eur_(365),B,Ward_Dossche,...........many-glacier.dyndns.org some rather odd **.wmv files on there especially in the xxx folder.
