"I have been a packet sysop since 1992, and it was the way it operated.
Noone who is not a member of the forwarding net is welcome, even in
packet, not to say anything of other modes."
I guess this is why, when I used my packet controller, no one would talk to
me when I checked in on hf. I just figured it was rudeness of the
operators, who didnt want to talk, or else they were not there at all. Of
course, who knew?
