    Sean,

    Yes, you're right, but netmail should work also since that's originally what SD>Fidonet was founded on. ;)

    I may redo the business cards for the BBS to note my FIDONet Netmail
    address. But, those not familiar with a BBS would have no clue as to
    what a BBS or netmail was.

    I -always- prefer to be contacted via netmail myself as I can go days SD>without checking email but I try to check the BBS at least once a day.

    Same here...but as we get into our annual tornado season, there may be several days where I won't get to do that.

    Daryl

    A later generation had no clue about vinyl records, and now vinyl has
    been experiencing a revival. The key is educating the public, and
    making them aware that something still exists.

    Pointing people to the Jamnntp-method of accessing echomail is a good
    way to make people aware.

    A netmail address / bbs-name on a biz card is a good way to raise curiosity.

    August,

    I have at least 200 vinyl records from what my late parents had, and I
    need to find a way to dispose of them. If I could make some money off of
    them, that'd be better.

    A netmail address / bbs-name on a biz card is a good way to raise curiosity.

    I may just do that...thanks for the suggestion. :)

    Daryl
