Much of it cannot be blamed on Ward. fidonet is decline. ftp is in
decline, gopher is in decline, http is incline.
What has caused this decline? advanced web technology, social media
sites, advance in cell phone technology.
Also, people who perpetuate this ridiculous war against Ward. I`m no
fan, but you`ve made your point so you can step down now.
