Oh, and rights were respected STEVER last issue of the
newspaper that many are not mature enough yet ...
I've been napoluchal much any mail, so even in the echo-mail
networks have begun to discuss the issue, but very incompetent.
I'll try to be very short answers to most
questions:
1. The hierarchical structure was invented not by me.
Absolutely everything world networks, and regular mail, have
such a structure. This experience of centuries of postal
service.
And if the user has the ability to directly smodemitsya -
and do not clog the network.
Example of regular mail:
A guy (idiot) wrote a letter to another man, who lives in
it is an entrance. Letter he omits is not in his mailbox, and
the mail. To mail the letter does not look - it comes straight
from the box on Main Post, where watching the address and sent
back to the post office, and already there - a neighbor's
mailbox. Thus, the letter goes through a chain of settlements.
It seems long and tedious? For you - yes, but for postal
workers - no.
Networks exist to make life easier for a sysop, who took
over responsibility for forwarding any correspondence.
By myself I know what it is ... When we only have all its
infancy, I was literally "terrorized" (I do not blame him) The
BIRD, sending letters to every conceivable address without
checking even They have a modem or not. For example in a letter
I sent Inforkom Only on the third day. Similarly, I ring up
users which were addressed to the letter, but when I took over
this responsibility, then, for my part would be dishonorable to
refuse to swear or pass them.
And in the network - I would send letters coordinator
network, one of the servers that "grazing" (in mail, not in the
gaming sense) of the recipient and all, my mission
accomplished.
For example WINTERu LORD, so as not to get tired enough to
pass a fresh issue LIMETREE only Network Coordinator DITRONIK,
and does not ring up all of its (network) stations. But as the
coordinator doing its job - it is a question of honor. And once
he took over a moral responsibility, then he will send the
files to their station and should, for example, to answer why
XX-BBS does not work when specified in the schedule.
2. FidoNet network exists on the headstock sisopov. In most
of communication is also paid to wait. So. Work through the
focal point of a chain - hence saving time and money.
3. WARNING! BBS may exist, but does not include the net!
Do not confuse work with BBS to work in a computer network!
When you work just with the BBS you call wherever you want
(if sysop You let them) and work you like.
If "post" to work with the network, you are only working
with "their" BBS and use e-mail services with guaranteed
delivery anywhere in the world. And while the network is not
organized In accordance with international regulations, we are
no one will serve any Relcome or in FidoNet. By the way, on all
networks not bind to the hardware. There are many systems
working simultaneously, but through a dedicated site (probably
still to ensure that illiterate user does not gadili
internationally).
Thus, users' rights in no way infringe upon or cut back.
Important that all understand the difference, which lies only
in the order of registration letters and depends on the purpose
for which you are connected with this or any other server.
And what about "rasslabuhi" and "gadstva, dear STEVER, will
have to fight only by erasing files hooligans and" tight "with
the server. Yet there is a way: just include SELECT USERS, I
sometimes do. Especially when there are new and are not logged
in, begins to download someone else's mail or programs that
because of the quality of communication or because of his
intervention is not yet fully received the server.
I'm sorry that I was here and was dripping on your brain,
but working with 1993 in different networks, I can not just
observe all this anarchy.
P.S. Policy and structure of the Communist Party here is not
discussed and the relationship to computer networks has not.
