I've been participating in "newsgroups" since the FidoNet (FightoNet)

broke out on most high traffic groups, and that hasn't changed a bit in
all these years, and I suspect it never will change.

I ran a Fido node and echo mail relay back in the 80's & 90's.

The political bickering on the wRec is child's play compared to the OS/2
versus Windows war's in the early to mid nineties on FidoNet ...
