It seems to me that we might consider a gate between PODS MAGICKNET and Fidonet MAGICK, and between a re-created PODS MUNDANE and Fidonet OCCULT_CHAT. PODS METAPHYSICAL could be gated to Fidonet via a new Fidonet echo that maybe we could convince Irv Koch to moderate, along with the other two. Heck, take a look at Fidonet's MAGICK and OCCULT_CHAT echoes, and you'll recognize most of the folks posting there from our PODS echoes! If these gateways could be negotiated and set up, I think the echoes so associated could indeed once again become the definitive trio of magick echoes. What do you think? Anyone think we should go to Jay Loveless with this? * Z 93:9900/0@PODnet * F O S 1:128/220@Fidonet * E 245:7190/100@Recovernet Light & Life, Jim ...

I believe that MUNDANE has been retired, for the time being, due to lack of interest/participation, since PAGAN_CHAT is now used for the reasons people used to post on MUNDANE. > Hmm, June 1, 1990.

If anyone ever does a history of PODS, it can't be done without the MAGICKNET document. * Z 93:9900/0@PODnet * F O S 1:128/220@Fidonet * E 245:7190/100@Recovernet Light & Life, Jim ...
