Hello Roger -

RS> If you like to read and write online or to use an offilne

I don't think I said anything about what was 'fun' or not
'fun'. I was simply explaining why I could not offer assistance
for Bill's problem(s).

RS> Yup, I could only afford one phone line at that time). 

RS> If you ever feel like getting more into fidonet without

I lurked in the Z1B and other FIDO sysop echos long enough to
know I don't want that level of dependency with any of those
people. I'm not here to get 'into' fidonet. I just use the
echos.
