Hi August,

On 2025-02-21 18:52:00, you wrote to me:

That's how it works here too. But I didn't use you bookstores address to find
your voting location. I just used it as an example because your bookstore has
an easy to find postal code (and it isn't a private address). ;-)

"linux elite" ?

So maybe there aren't any of those in Fidonet, whatever that might mean? ;-)

As for me 'Brave' isn't even on my radar. Which probably means I'm not an
"linux elite" either. ;-)

I think most users, linux or other, elite or not, just stick to the more well
known software. That makes your 'live' a little bit more easier, because
others probably have already found and fixed possible problems.


Bye, Wilfred.
