Now these changes may may only be applied to my system, but who knows. He's published his new rules in the echo, and essentially the rules now state that I at least can't connect any out of zone members to his echo. I have 3 'out of zone' downlinks here who get that echo from me, so I'd decided to just remove it. I've decided to hold off a little bit with removing the echo. We'll see what happens in the next few days.

Some of what I'm going to discuss in the next couple of columns is a springboard off of those, and ideas I've expressed in the Fidogazette and other echoes. First, as you know, I participate in a few usenet forums relating to my profession. Even were I broadband connected, I still prefer usenet and Fidonet with the offline capability to web based forums which are often slow to load, and where finding that which you wish to read and respond to cumbersome and time consuming. Every now and then in those groups you'll find somebody who hosts a web based forum coming in asking the leading luminaries in the subject who are known well on Usenet to please please lend your communicating skills on the topic to my web forum. Some of their target audience responds that they already participate in one or two web forums as well as Usenet, others just flat refuse. After all, their on the go computing device can connect to usenet from anywhere, they can download the content of interest to them and read it while traveling to the next gig, or whenever they're inclined, even if there's no wireless hotspot or other connection available. Meanwhile we in Fidonet offer a variety of ways to access our forums. If your favorite way to get your discussion fix is nntp numerous systems offer Fidonet via nntp, or newsreader. There is becoming a point; qwk packets; read online via the web or telnet, etc. When I talk to a lot of these web forum moderator/hosts I find they don't know how to make their discussion group available via nntp or an internet email list. Chances are the folks providing the server for their forum don't offer it, because they don't know how either. We in Fidonet can show them the way to get the participants they want, even if those participants aren't going to fight through the slow loading pages with all the graphics popups and advertisements that these busy people aren't willing to wade through, but the chances that they'll go for a concept such as echomail are slim. After all, the feed cut if necessary is a double edged sword, especially if you have to go up the chain of links a bit to implement it. In addition to this, that feed cut can easily be circumvented by the problem user, but we've hashed that out in this column before in my series on echo management for new moderators a year or so back. Tom Henderson of system Enhancement associates, (yes you remember him, one of the great founders of Ifna) gave us a possible solution. It's called Groupmail. Groupmail worked on the principle that a message was only seen once, after it had been vetted by the moderator. The only systems that might handle a message twice were those between the originating system and this "top star" as they called it. Even if those systems handled the message twice, it was not available to users of the message base directly *until* the moderator had seen it, and allowed it to be actually posted. Groupmail may just be the tool we need to get these web forum hosts to link specialized forums to Fidonet to bring in our users, and other users who would participate but for one reason or another refuse to use the www interface. Group is still available. Our good editrix has it available on her system, so if you're inclined to develop Fidonet tools download it, have a look at the docs. It will be quite apparent what needs updated about groupmail's operation. I'll touch on some of the major points, then next time discuss its operation in greater detail along with some thoughts on how it could work in today's Fidonet environment. The first thing that needs an upgrade for Group is that it needs to support other archivers just as our modern echomail processors do. Groupmail was written by the folks who brought us the arc archiver. Sea and Pkware fought a court battle over Pkware's predecessor to pkzip, pkarc. Although Sea won the court battle, they lost the war for the hearts minds and hard drive space on file repositories the world wide over. You don't see many .arc archives in those parts, but you sure see a lot of zip compatible archives. Zip has joined the gui generation with winzip. You don't see winarc anywhere around now do ya? There are a couple other small points that may be stumbling blocks to the implementation of Groupmail in today's fidonet, but they're easily overcome. They're especially easy to overcome for BInkd systems with the special mailbox subdirectories, etc. Finally, remember, I'm not a programmer. I'm what we call an appliance operator in the ham radio world. my only contribution to such an undertaking is that of an idea man. That's the only skill I bring to the table. FIDOGAZETTE Vol 5 No 13 Page 4 September 1 2011 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ================================================================= A R T I C L E S ================================================================= Visiting Gettysburg, PA. By Janis Kracht, 1:261/38, janis@filegate.net We visited the Gettysburg National Military Park in Gettysburg, PA., on Wednesday and Thursday (August 31/September 1st). This was actually our second visit.. We'd made our first one when our kids were very young (maybe 5 and 7 years old). We couldn't visit the battlefield that first time, neither could we take part in many of the historical 'shows' at the time (if they even existed back then). The kids were just too young, and I was having a bad time then kind of suddenly with the MS that I had. This time was different though. I was feeling great, and we'd blocked out two days to just wander about giving us the ability to see the entire battlefield along with it's monuments. Fought during the first three days of July 1863, the Battle of Gettysburg was one of the most crucial battles of the Civil War having occurred at a time when the fate of the nation literally hung in the balance. Often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Rebellion", it was the culmination of the second and most ambitious invasion of the North by General Robert E. Lee and his "Army of Northern Virginia". The Union "Army of the Potomac", long the nemesis of Lee's army in Virginia, met the Confederate invasion at the Pennsylvania crossroads town of Gettysburg. Under the command of Major General George Gordon Meade, the Union army fought with a desperation not always seen before on other battlefields. Despite initial Confederate success, the battle turned against Lee on July 3rd, and with few options remaining to him, the general ordered his army back to Virginia. The Union victory at the Battle of Gettysburg resulted not only in Lee's retreat to Virginia but an end to the hopes of the Confederacy for independence. At the National Military Park, we first watched the cyclorama show in a huge cyclorama theater. The initial 20 minute film was narrated by Morgan Freeman. The show then progresses two stories up and then one story down in the same building. When the attendents saw my balance wasn't the best, they asked me if I'd like them to 'bring up an elevator' for me, rather than have me use the escalators or stairs. I said, sure, by then I was exhausted enough to sissy-out .. but I didn't expect an elevator.. I figured that was some term for a some other type of assistance device.. I was absolutely shocked when the floor to the side of me opened up, and an ELEVATOR (real one, just like the ones on other floors) pushed up through the floor, and opened it's doors hahaha On the third floor, the Cyclorama show displays a painting, the original, painted by Paul Philippoteaux in 1883. It depicts "Pickett's Charge", the failed infantry assault that was the climax of the Battle of Gettysburg. The painting is in the form of a cyclorama, a type of 360° cylindrical painting. The intended effect is to immerse the viewer in the scene being depicted, often with the addition of foreground models and life-sized replicas to enhance the illusion. Among the sites documented in the painting are Cemetery Ridge, the Angle, and the "High-water mark of the Confederacy". The completed original painting was 22 feet high and 279 feet in circumference. The version that hangs in Gettysburg, a recreation of the original, is 27 feet high and 359 feet in circumference, although that version has lost some of its size due to the ravages of time. Its original size is estimated at 42 feet high and 365 feet in circumference. During the viewing of this painting (which you can't believe, it's so beautiful), the museum supplements the painting with light and sound simulating warfare as various battlefields are mentioned in the narration. The entire cyclorama show had me near tears, it so well done. We toured the battlefield next. When you tour the battlefield, you can pay for a tour guide to sit in your car and point out the battlesites, your can take a ride on a tour bus, or you can purchase a CD in the 1st floor Museum Gift Shop. We decided to purchase a CD so that we could take our time with the tour and get out of our car when we wanted. Ron and I were mesmerized by all the places we'd read about all of our lives (we're a bit of Civil-War afficionados, since Ron's great Grandfather was wounded seriously there (he lost an arm). The most amazing thing we decided was seeing what a difference there was between actually seeing the battlefield as opposed to viewing topographical maps or pictures. You just never got the full sense of awe of the distances covered, the incredible courage it took to charge across, or to defend some of that territory until you actually saw the battefield up close. Sometimes there was a sense amongst us of "my god, what were they thinking?" as we saw some of the sites, like Little Round Top. The field where Pickett's charge went across was another site that seemed impossible. You can't imagine what Lee was thinking when he ordered that charge. You could see that it had to be a real act of desperation. The Wheat Field (that changed hands 6 times in 2 1/2 hours) and the Devil's Den were images that will never leave your mind once you've seen them. I've put some pictures my daughter took for us online on my blog if you'd like to see them.. you do see some of the topology in these pictures, but...

Where to Send Your Articles Unlike most editors, I surely do not mind running my mouth when there is a sparcity of articles for the 'zine. I'd MUCH rather you sent in material... lacking that, I will fill these issues with my meanderings and thoughts and hopefully we will grow into something of consequence here :) Write an article! If you WOULD like to submit an article, feel free to drop your article off at: Email attach to address: janis @ filegate.net Fidonet attach: Janis Kracht at 1:261/38 Modem: 607-655-5652 1:261/100 filegate.net port 24555 via binkp or telnet mailer (If you are using routed fidonet mail, don't send articles as routed attaches. They will fail somewhere along the path before getting here. Send them instead direct to filegate.net). Standard binkp port only supports BinkP (24554). Give it a title, sign your name and network address if you have one and send it along! Don't worry about the format, I can take anything you send me and mutilate it further as you can see above. Linux is nice that way (g). Spell checking your own work will help though (something I'm typically guilty of (g)). To send reviews or recipes to the Food section, email or netmail Janis as above. Email address for submissions to Dr.Debug: To send a question to Dr. Debug, email a question to: drdebug @ filegate.net or post in the fidogazette echo! :) To send a listing to the FidoGazette bbslist, email your listing to: bbslist @ filegate.net or post it in the fidogazette echo!
