Surprised you're on this echo. Normally this is used by the Net 275 admin
for testing. :)

It was what was in the Echolist that I got...I'll have to remove it.

I think Dave was teasing you. ;) This echo is still in the echolist and is Asia Link. There are a person or two that also use it to do some testing, some of which often spawns additional discussions among the participants.

Carol pretty much just uses this for those connected to her node for Fidonet traffic. Anyone can post here, of course. But it's mostly used by us sysops. :)

Most people are simply enamoured and distracted by the chat
apps, games and tv. No time to engage in "conversations"
anymore. :(

Hey August!

Most people are simply enamoured and distracted by the chat apps,
games and tv.

What's your point?

No time to engage in "conversations" anymore. :(

I seriously doubt their abilities. I also doubt whatever apps will connect them to real people anyhow so catering to them is a complete waste of time and resourses.

True. Even using something like Aftershock cannot attract users. Although some editing features are available, cleaning up a quoted message from penguins that look like they've escaped from the zoo can be a daunting task. ;)
