Hi Frank,

Maybe thats part of the "problem"? Fidonet or retrocomputing at the whole
is a hobby like collecting and taking care about other old stuff like
oldtimers or so.
For me it´s part of our culture we should conserve. You´ll need to find
other people being interested in this conserving thing. I don´t think that
you can convince people that Fidonet is a great communication platform.

And as with other strange hobbies you need to actively advertise this one
as well. Sitting around and waiting for new enthusiasts won´t work in the
long run.

Maybe an add in your local newspaper or on Craigslist could help...
