Believe what you want, but your belief is not consistent with the known facts. You are not the first, I was before you. But I was not the first either.

A fidonet NODE is what transfers files between the outbound of one system and the inbound of the other system. This process is fully 8 bit transparent and encoding agnostic. ALL Fidonet NODES are "working UTF-8 capable".

So Tom Jennings was the first.

Cheers, Michiel
