    I know I'm back in Fidonet when I have some random Russian sysop bitching
    about my routed netmail path when it's obvious that a) he has no clue on how netmail is routed and b) the answers he seeks are in the nodelist. LOL

    With a sole exception, the Russkies in Fido have always hated me. I think they're xenopohobic to an extreme these days but even before their war, they hated me because I wouodn't kowtow to their arrogance (see Alexey on the
    FTSC for a good current example),

    While I am painting with a very broad brush here, most of the Europeans (including Russians in this) I have run into in Fidonet seem to be
    xenophobic, arrogant, and generally unpleasant to be around. Doesn't bother
    me anymore.

    If I didn't hate the European style of doing things, I would be deeply offended, but then, I live in a republic whose border is the fence that surrounds my fields. Europe is only what lays on the other side.

    Heheheh! What size is your little country?

    If you are on Micronet, you are probably not covered by Sean's statement. :)

    It is so small you will be hard pressed to find it on a map, which suits me fine.

    Well, you're not included in that. This is my opinion after dealing with
    these turds (like Ward, Bjorn, Michiel, et al.) for nearly 25 years and they just need to hurry up and die off already as Fidonet will be a better place without them.

    You're quite right as they'd been shown the door already.

    There are several people in Fidonet who refuse to join Micronet because they are
    idiot liberals and are scared to deal with people who think for themselves. XD

    Noted. But in terms of hectares, what is it?

    If I am thinking of the right area, it's 3,211,326.3 hectares.

    I meant Arelor's little country that is WITHIN his own fence
    boundaries.
