Steve Baumann was at my house last night. We both talked to Kelly Garnett by voice. NONE of us knew anything about this. Accordingly, we wish to form a new network. We have met all the requirements of Section 2.4 of Policy 4.07. Here is the nodelist segment. It's also file attached as NET2805.342.

That put me "on the chase," so to speak. I am seeking a collection of nodediffs for 1989. I tried George Peace's location. He only has stuff for the past 30 days there. Is there a site (ideally an Internet site where I can ftp the files, but a Fido node is great as well) where these older nodediffs are archived? With the great variety of folks we have worldwide in Fidonet, I'm sort of surprised that someone hasn't taken it upon themselves to create such a collection. I welcome your suggestions. Please contact me by netmail or Internet e-mail at the addresses below or post an article here and let the world know where these archives, if they exist, are maintained. Thank you.

By Bill Myers, 1:366/27 (COPS-N-HAMS BBS) As many of you owners of exotic pets read in FIDO1246, our CHAMELEON echo was dropped from the Backbone on 01 Nov. I was able to make contact with the previous moderator through his SYSop, and he has agreed to allow me to take over moderatorship of the echo. It has been re-Elisted and should be back on the Backbone on/about 1 Dec. To those of you that aren't familiar with the echo, allow me to invite you to drop in and visit. This echo is for the pets that aren't allowed in other pet echo's; Iguanas, Monitors, Tegus, Water Dragons, Chameleons, Snakes, Turtles, Spiders, Ferrets, Insects, and many more. Discussions are lively and lots of good information is passed out, much based on ownership and experience. A lot of questions are answered for people thinking about buying one of these pets. To the old members of the echo, look for it in the 1 Dec BACKBONE.NA and I'm looking forward to chatting with you folks again. Take Care and Happy Holidays to All FidoNews 12-49 Page: 4 04 Dec 1995 Bill Myers Moderator - CHAMELEON ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Invitation to MirageNet! From: Mark Hoover (1:275/103) I'm writing this in light of the responses I received from FidoNews edition number 47. I was surprised from the response I recieved after it was released as I had no idea how many people actually read this. I would like to invite everybody who is reading this to join MirageNet. We consist of 36 active bases ranging from general chatter to the unexplained to fantasy and anything else you can imagine. MirageNet is also hosting InterBBS games of Bre, Falcon's Eye, and Lord. MirageNet currently has nodes in eight states and one province, so there should be a node near you. I have provided a list of names and phone numbers where the welcome packet is available and the Freq name where available.
