Also true.  :)   There aren't as many bbses, nor as much diversity...
But, whether there are thousands of bbses or merely hundreds, one can
only be a regular caller to a handful of them anyway (I think my max,
back in the good old days, was only a couple of dozen), and as long as
there are quality boards still around, that's what really counts.  And
the demise of the bbs was greatly overestimated... ;)  After all, we're
still here, over a decade later...
