One more :-)

I'll make a comparison. Imagine a new family moves into a house on your street and
invites all !! the neighbors on that street to a free party with a barbecue, music, drinks
(summertime and very good weather) to welcome them and get to know each other for
a good neighborly relations can be built. How do you behave in this situation? Would you
go and would you perhaps bring a small welcome gift? Or would you ignore this invitation?

It's always the case that one side extends a hand for friendship and the other side
decides whether it wants to accept it or not. In any case, mine remains stretched out!

And I still think this idea is good and, above all, perhaps useful, especially for German-speaking countries (see Fido node list for the host 24x). But of course this door is always open to everyone, as this hobby is still quite widespread, especially in America/Canada.

I think everything has been described from my side as to why I am the way I am?
