alexander koryagin to Anton Shepelev:

Is there a way to ask an autograph over FidoNet?
Should be an auto-ASCII-graph, probably.

Do you need a separate signature? For forging documents?
;-)

Well, `need' is the wrong word here. Does one forge
documents with an autograph?

An autograph is usually written on something, a photo
for instance. You can attach a photo to a message, the
recipient puts his signature on it, using Photoshop, and
sends it back to you.

"It ain't necessarily so:"

Autograph 0tographe, fr. Gr. ?
autographic; ? self + ? to write.]
That which is written with one's own hand; an original
manuscript; a person's own signature or handwriting.
[1913 Webster]

Observe that I craved the honor of receiving an auto-ASCII-
graph, which is more compatible with the text nature of
FidoNet. Do you still meet with binary "attachments" to
FidoNet messages?

Ardith Hinton to Anton Shepelev:

Tom [Jennings] is a reclusive anarchist, and doesn't
respond to most requests about anything, to the best of
my knowledge.

This, I think, is a sad pupular misconception, for anarchism
is based on comradeship and reciprocity, in contrast the
competition of social darwinism. See, for example, the works
of prominent anarchist Peter Kropotkin, and especially --

Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution:

Hi, Anton Shepelev!

I see them sometimes -- some old Fidonet guys still send their photos in
this way. You just need to transfer binary codes to printable ones and
put it the message. After receiving it you must do the reverse
operation. Usually they use UUE.

Although last time it is more and more often that everybody use URLs.
There are specials sited where you can upload your photo, get its URL
and send it.
