    From Lee Lofaso@2:203/2 to All on Thu Apr 9 19:47:20 2020
    Hello Everybody,

    I did not say it ... I did not say it ... I did not say it ...

    "One thing that I've learned from being in quarantine
    is that people -- this is like being in jail, is what
    it is. It's mostly because I've been wearing the same
    clothes for 10 days and everyone here is gay."

    So Lee.... You are gay??? :) jk

    I personally disgree with Ellen's statement. I haven't let the
    quarantine keep me from doing needed things around the house,
    talking to people around the world on the radios, chatting
    with people around the world online, working on projects, or
    making needed trips. Pretty much differant days same activities.

    No. I'm straight. But I have played Dr. Frank 'N' Furter
    in costume and live performance. I was much younger then.

    Things have gone from bad to worse. Two lesbians from down
    the street keep sneaking in and stealing crap books. Can't call
    the cops on them because the books are worthless. On the positive
    side, letting them steal the books helps me clean up the house.

    Oops, I keep forgetting when I'm on Fidonet (and have all my Fido echos set to real names for consistency, unless there's a compelling reason not to). I use "VK3JED" on othernets. :)

    Ahhhh, I see.

    From my point of view using realnames is a good thing, not only in fidonet ;) You can stick the callsign for example in the origin line.
