Hi Tony!

21 Apr 2020 16:19, from Tony Langdon -> Rob Swindell:

My handle's a dead giveaway. ;)

Which handle???

Oops, I keep forgetting when I'm on Fidonet (and have all my Fido echos set to real names for consistency, unless there's a compelling reason not to). I use "VK3JED" on othernets. :)

Ahhhh, I see.

From my point of view using realnames is a good thing, not only in fidonet ;) You can stick the callsign for example in the origin line.

I'm more a "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" kida guy. :D The origin line doesn't work, could be a user posting. :D

Hello Alan!

20 Apr 20 20:13, you wrote to me:

Just how many Hams are into Fidonet???

Um... all of us? :) I personally know of a dozen or so. But I am
sure that there are a quite a few more.

I personally disgree with Ellen's statement. I haven't let the
quarantine keep me from doing needed things around the house,
talking to people around the world on the radios, chatting with
people around the world online, working on projects, or making
needed trips. Pretty much differant days same activities.

Aha - never made the connection between you two. :)

I went through probably a half-dozen jobs over a 20+ year period where
someone would refer to me as "Poindexter", much to the confusion of my co- workers.

Yeah, can be tricky here. Easier on email, because of my address and sig. :)
