  • Looking for Martin Foster

    From Vincent Coen@2:250/1 to All on Sat Apr 20 14:35:01 2024
    Hello All!

    Any one know the current location of Martin Foster last known in Bradford and when he had a BBS usage of addresses were :

    Martin Foster, UK 2:240/2188.31
    Martin Foster, Bradford UK 2:310/31.3
    Martin Foster, Bradford UK 2:310/31.7
    Martin Foster, Bradford UK 2:333/808.8

    I have no record historically but August Abolins has asked me but I cannot locate him using phone book look ups.

    I'm sure I remember seeing a goodbye or retirement post at some point, will have a look through my archives, might be from another network.

    Thanks for that and I will pass it on. I have searched for the echo area FIDONET_POINTS but cannot find it and it is not shown in BACKBONE.RPT so where does it come from ?

    I believe you carry it as POINTS.

    I actually found it from a google search. Seems a lot of the synchronet boards carry it as fidonet_points:
    eg: https://athelstan.org/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=fidonet_points
