you handle seeing blood and guts and stuff?  I have not started with the
run along program, for one thing it has not started yet.  Oh do you

I'm an FF/emt on a county rescue stationed in a city station that hosts
an explorer post.  post some particulars about your post.  I am trying to
get many of the explorers there online with my BBS.  If I can show them
that they can communicate with other explorers, maybe I can devote an
echo to FF/EMT exploring.

assistant: Hello.   I used to be in an Explorer Post doing the medical. (I'm now
currently in a high adventure post)  When I was in the Medical post it was
alot of fun.  We did hands on work at the Boy Scout Camporee's.  We were one
the only ones (at the time there wasn't any others) that was allowed to do
hands on work in the state of Florida.  The other posts have to watch EMT's
etc do the work.  At least that was what the advisor told us.  I am certified
as a First Responder.  I was CPR certified but that expired this past Feb.  I
will recertify coming up for the CPR course.   Stick in it.  You will learn

Cool!!!  Sounds like a cool idea.  The explorers at the post I am in
might want to do that.  It will give us a good idea on how other posts
work, for one thing we just started the post last year in the fall.

Smile! You just learned a lesson in Beaurocracy and UNION stupidity. I recall
a message once delivered by William Shakespear regarding Lawyers (arguably
the root of ALL evil), which, as time passes, deserves far more serious
consideration. We're having the same problems up here in Canada, perhaps once
we rid ourselves of Unions, Beaurocrats and Lawyers, we can actually get on
with the job of saving lives.

assistant: Welcome to the electronic media.
Well, Harness the ABILITY is a few hundred areas larger, no HTML what so
ever, and I've never counted the files in the 100+ areas.   Checkdsk reports
some rediculous number, and I'd need pencil and paper to add each total of
each drive, to figure it out.  My on line games are incorporated in to the
BBS, and do not require Doors.  It supports QWK style off line readers, and
logons from 300 throught 28,800 baud dial up, bypassing the need for ISPs,
and freenents.
It also offers free e-Mail and access, even to 1st time callers.
I've offered support since the early 70's, 1st over the airwaves (1972 I
think), then over the phone lines, routed to the airwaves.  Now its just via
the phone lines, and modem.

     You mean, why is it so empty?
     Probably because, like the rest of Fidonet, and the rest of the
BBSs, it's lost a *lot* of people to the Internet.
     Which doesn't mean there's no room for decent discussion - there's
a lot less "junk" than there is on the Internet.  But a lot fewer
knowledgeable folks are writing.
