    Hello Everybody,

    "He'll be back."
    ~ Janis Kracht

    Every member of the Fidonet community took it really hard
    when one of it's most beloved members left the building. But
    Janis informed us all that he would be back, although never
    disclosing exactly when.

    The other day, Janis informed the Fidonet community that
    she would be taking her system down, without specifying her
    reason(s) why. Her system is now offline, for better or for
    worse.

    It has also come to my attention that the British people
    have been infected by a virus. A virus far worse than the
    novel coronavirus, with no vaccine, and also incurable.

    Evidence of this is quite abundant, as reported on the
    BBC's "Worklife" site. The story is titled "Why are more
    people saying y'all?"

    You see, people around the world (not just in England)
    are using the Southern expression "y'all" - thus replacing
    "you guys" - as a way to address a group.

    And you know what that means.

    The one who shall not be named is back.

    The BBC site reports the news, never fake news. So we
    can all trust this source are verifiable truth of the real
    news as to what is going on -

    "Te distictive Americanism is making its way across the
    world and becoming an unlikely favourite catch all term."

    Wow! Did you get that?

    Many Cajuns spend a lot of time in Paris. I cannot imagine
    any of them hearing, 'Bonjour, y'all!'.

    Just think of what might happen next. The next thing you know,
    they'll figure out the difference between 'y'all' and 'all y'all'
    - and start saying that too.

    All thanks to the virus that has no vaccine or cure.

    What happens next? Maybe upon meeting a new person,
    no matter where that person might be, instead of saying
    'Nice to meet you,' they'll say, 'Who's ya momma'

    There is only one thing I can say to all these new y'all
    users - "Well, bless your heart ..."
