Sounds an awful lot like my kid...  He used to drive me nuts with the
constant busy signal as he tried to get onto his favorite boards... and
then the lovely handshake... all while *I* was trying to get to sleep!
And then... he got me to try a couple that he noticed had genealogy
messages and files on them...  Then, guess who was trying to get onto
HER favorite boards, with the constant busy signal until connecting
finally!  ;)  He was mostly playing games and doing a little messaging
in the local areas...  :)
