   You're really that desperate? Why don't you expound upon how that one statement completely devoid of context supports your position that email was not widely in use before &TT. The overwhelming amount of real data I have referenced supports the opposite of your misguided opinion based on your own limited experiences. Really Faggert, your childish refusal to admit when you're wrong is the main reason so many have scoffed at you for so long. But come on, we're all waiting for your brilliant explanation so the floor is all yours.

   Nobody was really interested in FidoNET, more nodes or not. NirvanaNET was a different story, because it was an underground, fringe-discussion, anarchist-style board, and people were drawn to that. FidoNET had shit on NirvanaNET.
   
   Your move, Draco.

   
   
   
   Do you also understand that email (SMTP/POP) was one of the two protocols responsible for data distribution on any and all Dialup BBS systems. The other one being FTP.

   What part of the following math don't you understand? 30,000 › 20,000 › 100?

   The strawman in this poll is that tDR has any fans at all.

    you are old and don't understand stuff.

    
    
    How's that working out for you considering neither one of them is here? Do sit in a dark closet and make fun of people who aren't there when the power goes out from a storm?

    The aliens appeared from the sky. People didn't know how to explain it, so they called them angels. Then the bad ones came down and shared technology we weren't ready for. And this is all the result of that. By the way, they can easily look just like us and can walk among us without detection.

    When fido opened with only 200 nodes it was born twice the size nirvananet would ever be.

    NirvanaNET was the name of the message system that spanned multiple BBS systems. Somewhat of an underground network, it spanned almost 100 systems across the United States at its peak.

    Nobody really used FidoNET.

    
    
    The rate of growth of FidoNet seems typical of electronic networks in the last decade. The approximate number of nodes at year ends is: Year Nodes 1984 100 1985 600 1986 1400 1987 2500 1988 4000 1989 6500 1990 9000 1991 11000 1992 16000 1993 20000 (Apr '93)
