[news.misc] Observations on Political Structures

fair@Apple.COM (Erik E. Fair) (04/27/89)

In the latest issue of FidoNews (Vol 6, #17), which can be found in
comp.org.fidonet, there is a wide ranging debate about their next
operating policy document. It's very interesting. It recapitulates a
number of the debates seen on USENET from one time or another.

Read it, and be glad that we don't have nearly the same number of
problems as they do...

As ex-1:204/1154, I can tell you this: the biggest problem Fidonet has
is the tendency of people to want to control it. Unfortunately, the 
technology is such that it is possible. In Usenet, that's not the case.
