    Hello Everybody,

    Remember what happened on 2 June 2019?
    Of course you do!
    Every sysop in FidoNet knows exactly what happened!
    Even many who are sysops in training know what happened!
    So, for those who missed the boat, I am here to tell you.
    Exactly what happened, at the same time, on 2 June 2019.

    There you go.
    The Internet Kill Switch.
    It is real.
    As demonstrated.
    On 2 June 2019.

    Go ahead.
    Check your logs.

    Now you know why the world needs sysops to continue FidoNet.
    Without them, the entire cyberworld would be lost, not knowing
    what to do, or who to follow.

    All the more reason for you to get a node number. Better hurry!
