 SD> I've never understood why it was called BBS Carnival fully, but hey,
 SD> it works and I'm glad to see intermittent traffic in here.

 MR> I may be wrong, I usually am, but if I remember correctly.. I think
 MR> back when  a bigger variety of bbs softwares were being used, each had
 MR> it's own area  much like today, but there are so fewer of them. I think
 MR> Cott Lang started  this area in order to let all sysops get on and
 MR> discuss or promote their  software, feed off of each others input, much
 MR> like we are still doing today.  It may even go deeper than that in the

That's essentially what I remember about it... some of which you told me
back when you were suggesting I might want to take a look here...

 MR> beginning, I can't remember. It was  just at the time that RG broke off
 MR> of TG. Can't remember, but Cott may have  been using this a bit for RG
 MR> support, not sure. All I remember was things  were messy between he an
 MR> Martin, and copyright etc. 

And you were beta-testing RG, and I, in my inimitable fashion, was
finding all kinds of weird bugs for you... which we were having a little
trouble getting to Cott... so you suggested that since he hung out in
BBS Carnival I might be able to let him know directly there...  I don't
remember our ever quite connecting here either... but I did stick around
to enjoy the show...  

 MR> But I am glad to see You are still keeping it going as it is still
 MR> a friendly little place to bounce things off of each other. 

And can fill in for all the now-essentially-defunct bbs software support
echoes and the oddball stuff that doesn't have (maybe never did or will)
have their own place...  :)

 MR> ... That's not a bug--it's an undocumented feature!

How appropriate...
