• Fishingnet Echomail Network

    From Jonathan H. Justvig@1:220/20 to All on Mon Oct 6 03:15:01 2025
    Hello, I'm personally inviting you all to join the Christian Fishingnet Echomail Network hosted by the PHATstar Society. The owner of the group warmfuzzy has assigned me to manage the network so I'm gathering everyone together to join this fantastic network. I'm starting it back up from ground zero so it's going to take a bit to get things going. With everyone's cooperation, it shouldn't take long. Here's the application as follows and
    if you'd like to reach me, you can at cr1mson@phatstar.org. Thank you!

    Oh.... no.

    You're asking for an applicant's religious and political preferences in
    an Echomail network application? Seriously?

    Yeah.... I think not.
