    Sorry to see you go, my friend. Will you still have your I'net
    address for us to stay in touch?

    Roger,

    My primary Internet address [ steven.horn@northwestel.net] will remain unchanged. We now have cable internet at home connected to fiber optics going south and the speed of my connection is breathtaking. My connectivity to others is through Email, Facebook and Classmates which is one of the reasons why Fidonet has become redundant in my life.

    Take care,

    Steven Horn (steven.horn@northwestel.net)

    TGo all of you,

    Your moderator is pulling the pin on this echo and Fidonet
    at the end of the month ! After a near death experience
    this summer -- an all to close encounter with a rare
    neurological disorder resulting in 36 days in hospital, I
    have re-ordered my priorities and Fidonet is no longer part
    of them.

    Sorry to hear of your problems. I wish you well.

    Sorry to hear about that Steven, hope you have made a complete recovery, your presence will be missed. It was a pleasure to meet you in person.

    Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

    We are a fine board trying to make it better.

    TGo all of you,

    Your moderator is pulling the pin on this echo and Fidonet at the end of the month ! After a near death experience this summer -- an all to close encounter
    with a rare neurological disorder resulting in 36 days in hospital, I have re-ordered my priorities and Fidonet is no longer part of them.

    It has been a long run, 21 years, and it has been fun! But the effort now exceed the rewards and I'm bugging out.

    So if you want the echo to continue, you will have to find a new moderator. An election would be my preference but it is up to you.

    Take care,
