    When I met the internet newsgroups the first rule that I learned was
    "don't feed the trolls", and I think that it could be still useful with mr.Lofaso but he should be kicked off by the node owner because I still believe that fidonet isn't internet and it's messages should be qualitatively better than internet news messages, otherwise why join fidonet? :)

    Just to second this, that is why I am here. I have become increasingly disillusioned with the internet over the past couple of
    years, and have sought to reduce its presence in my life as much as is possible. Fidonet, I hope, will be a source of richer,
    saner conversation - away from the algorithm-stoked flame wars and outrage that
    makes up so much of internet discourse.

    Here's hoping!

    Have you considered communicating with real people in the real world day to day?

    Hello David!

    Have you considered communicating with real people in the real world
    day to day?

    So you're a fake human being? :P

    Also when you call someone on the phone you are communicating with fake people in a fake world?

    IMHO fidonet is still a place when you can communicate with someone in the opposite side of the world (yes also with that strange people from Australia :P
    :P :P) with the possibility of having a good and satisfying conversation, without taking anything away from the usual social everyday life.

    The initial issue was another... ;)

    It's one of the many things that Anglophiles including Americans and Cannucks think is "Italian Cuisine".

    Something like put pineapple on something and claim it's Hawaiian, put grated Parmezan cheese on whatever and claim it's Italian.

    Communicating via Fidonet or Facebook for the greater part is not with "real people" in the "real world" - merely with electronic representations there-of.

    How many of your Facebook "friends" have you actually met? How about the folks you write to in here?

    been as far north in this state as is reasonable. I have a firm idea of this continent's size.

    During July and August I drove a little over 8000km. From here at Bucca, north to Rockhampton, west through Emerald and many other towns, through Mount Isa, continuing west until I hit the Stuart Highway then north to Darwin.

    Back south to Katherine then west to almost the Western Australia border.

    Then back to Katherine, south to Tennant Creek, east to the coast at Townsville
    and back south on the Bruce Highway and home to Bucca.

    On the way back east across the Barkly Tableland I got an error light on the dash, and the vehicle's computer "de-powered" the engine into "limp mode". At Mount Isa I had a mechanic plug his diagnostic computer in and tell me I was "loosing turbo boost". I was aware that there was a pin hole in the hose between the second turbo and the inter-cooler but was surprised that it would make that much difference. Very little room to fit a hand in and feel anything but I tried duct tape anyway.

    I limped home and took it into the Bundaberg dealer (no VW dealer at Mt Isa) to
    have that hose replaced. $430.00 later and the bloody fault still popped up. Now they have it back replacing some vacuum valve the controls the two turbos and the waste-gate. They've quoted another $420.00 to fix that.

    I guess I won't be going distance driving again for a while until I recover financially.

    The Australian age pension isn't overly generous...

    Ideas, behaviours, concepts represent a person and all of them can be expressed

    The media (any kind, also "speech") are the way to express your being. :)

    How many of your Facebook "friends" have you actually met? How about

    This is the vantage of the "electronic" media, I can exchange my experience with persons that are really difficult to meet for me. :)

    To answer better to your question, lot of facebook friends are old friends met befor the electronic era (yes I'm beginning to be old), some of them now are far from my city and FB is a way to keep in touch with them (also with phone calls and so on).

    Don't confuse the technology with the being, if someone is a "fake" he'll be a fake both in the "real" and in the "other" worlds. ;)

    Yeah, the Isa may be a big city but it still is only a small town. My #2 daughter lives & works there.

    Bugger. I was lucky, using someone else's wheels. The best I ever did when I was young, rich and therefore single, was an overnighter from BrisVegas to Sydney on a Friday. Then same for the return a weekend later. Since I was the
    designated driver I could only peruse the goodies on the Cross and not allowed to touch.

    I guess I won't be going distance driving again for a while until I recover financially.

    I don't drive any longer. And am glad of it, based on the antics in the 'Dash Cam Owners Australia -monthly- Compilation' vids on EwwToob. Man, it's a zoo out there!

    The Australian age pension isn't overly generous...

    It's been kind to me but I don't don't spend much. The NBN provides much of my
    entertainment.

    Just to second this, that is why I am here. I have become increasingly disillusioned with the internet over the past couple of
    years, and have sought to reduce its presence in my life as much as is possible. Fidonet, I hope, will be a source of richer,
    saner conversation - away from the algorithm-stoked flame wars and
    outrage that makes up so much of internet discourse.

    Have you considered communicating with real people in the real world day
    to day?

    I manage to do that a lot in the new career direction I embarked on a year or so ago. It's a good point though - and I need to be careful I don't wholesale replace internet addiction with BBS addiction!

    Evolution is the dawn of new winning adaptations that bring advantages to the evolved organism.

    Pineapple on Pizza and "Chicken Parmesana" are the opposite, they are a sign of
    a clear involution and regression and a finally a long lasting extinction. ;)

    Fabio,

    Pineapple on Pizza and "Chicken Parmesana" are the opposite, they are a sign of a clear involution and regression and a finally a long lasting extinction. ;)

    I do not agree there.

    The practice of mixing salty things like meats with sweetish things like fruits
    is a culinary art predating pineapple on pizza hundreds of years.

    Very funny, Fabio. 8-)

    But look at the utility of having the pineapple topping: you won't need to suck
    orange to 'cut' the taste of the olives. Hey? Neat, isn't it? Good enough to
    eat. Haveago, mate. ;)

    Cheers,

    Hundred of years are only seconds in the evolution, in the next millennium all the pineapple pizza eaters will be extincted, in the meanwhile the only thing that we can do is trying to save them teaching them the real way to eat the real and healty Italian Pizza. :P

    P.S. I'm still shocked by the image of a roasted chicken with the Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan is a fake german cheese) spreaded on it. :(

    There's nothing Italian about pizza ... nor spaghetti.

    Look at the paintings by the old masters, they never depict pizza nor pasta ...
    Fake news ...

    But there was already pineapply in the 1400's. Pineapple on pizza ... heaven.

    I have enjoyed a real Italian pizza... 40+ years ago. It is the measure by which I compare others since. It was made by a good Italian girl/woman (already married, darn it). To tell that she would abuse me in Italian, describes how good an Italian girl she was.

    Each to his own. Ciao.

    Like "when" ?

    When we can all mutually agree on a date/place, likely a shitty dive bar near my place that serves excellent wings and your favorite horse-piss beer.

    I also enjoy loads of pineapple and parmesan cheese on pizza. My subsequent farts are very carefree and aromatic.

    Good for you.

    We used to have Net640 get-togethers in the distant past. Now we are few, a spread over quite an area. To meet in one spot would take some arranging.

    You are more than invited to come to this one here in Toronto to enjoy wings and horse-piss shit beer, although as I explained to Fabio, we do not have a cost-sharing program to help pay for your plane ticket.

    Something like put pineapple on something and claim it's Hawaiian,
    put grated Parmezan cheese on whatever and claim it's Italian.

    I like Parmesan cheese on Hawaiian pizza. Go figure.

    I'm willing to bet you're from California.

    Born and raised. We do traditional thick-crust Chicago style, thin crust New York Style, and weird, hippie west coast "white pizzas" with olive oil, ricotta and parmesan cheese, and pesto. All within a mile or so of each
