Sorry, Annon.

Due to the multiple copies of porn spams, annonymous posts are now screened. I'd rather not see the spam at all, but that would mean disabling annon. comments and I don't want to do that.

Back in the old Fidonet days you could say to someone "Shut up and go away" to express your annoyance. When everyone in an echo told a poster to Shut Up And Go Away, they either left the group or began posting messages that didn't make people tell them to Shut Up And Go Away. It would be really nice if the majority of the internet users showed the maturity you found in a Fidonet echo, even in an echo like LTUAE which was once described as a fight with baseball bats, and occasionally two combatants would lean against their bats and have a coversation.

Fidonet rule #1: Do not be excessively annoying
Fidonet rule #2: Do not be too easily annoyed.

Spammers: Shut up and go away. You are excessively annoying.

Y'know, Fidonet is still there, though of course much smaller these days. Not that this stops various folks from having noisy arguments over who's running the show (ever see what happens when a pond full of catfish almost dries up and the fish all flap around in the mud? [at least the fish finally give up, dig in, and estivate 'til the water comes back]) I'm tempted to quote you to them.

But I'm still there, mostly because I'm still moderating the Babylon 5 echo. That and NC102, due to not ducking fast enough.

I deleted Binkley eventually when I realised I wouldn't be hooking up again. It felt like I was closing a chapter.

The nodelist was 1.2mb How large is it now?

I just ran the latest nodediffs this morning, and the nodelist is .9mb. Still too big for me to use the whole thing on my system, but I've used a cut down version consisting of region 10 and a few other out of region nodes I email occasionally for years. In fact Nicolai started the practice back in the days of FurNet, the contents of which long since decamped to the net.
