August, It looked like I didn't recall writing messages in
Coffee Katsch before.
I can't prove it, but I think you have popped in here before,
years ago.
I have problems with Short Term memory and now there's
problems of Long Term stuff
Don't worry about it. We tend to remember only what's important
to us.
I remember reading "Be careful what you write on the
Internet because it will always be available for others to
read years later.
That is so true. But fidonet echoes are quite public too, even
to the casual non-BBS member. Early in the game, echomail was
restricted within the bbs community and often sysops would only
allow reading an echo if you were a registered user of their
BBS. But now, many BBS echo bases are fully viewable and
searchable via internet.
I would have preferred a non-google-scrapable fidonet. But the
cat is long out of the bag so to speak.
