Apparently so.  As I've said, it's something that can be disabled, and I would say probably should in the groups tied to Fidonet echos.

There are two ideas here, one is as a way to follow and participate in some Fidonet echos while away from your system.

The other is a way to introduce people to Fidonet that might not be familiar with it, and from there teaching them about Telnet, offline readers and the like.

I see that it has some potential, but I agree more work needs to be done.
