Hi Chris,
I am interested in Usenet peering, mostly for curiosity's sake. I can do it over 44net, as my connection is quite fast (I'm directly annouced), but of course I'd be happy to connect over the "real" internet if that works best for you.
Well, I could go a step further. I run some old school BBSs as a hobby, but the modern software I use allows me to gate to/from mailing lists and NNTP. Perhaps this is something else we could play with over AMPRnet. :) I could setup a dedicated ham radio system, or add a ham flag to an existing system, so only verified hams can post to the network. A longer term goal could be to extend coverage to AX.25, HSMM, etc on air.
Why? Because I can. :) or "Why not"? ;)
