I thought it was a useful list, to be honest...  You mention Nets I'd
never even known existed... if I was a sysop, looking to offer something
a little different to my users, knowing about the other nets, and
how/who to contact, would be very useful knowledge...  And I can see
where posting an updated list once a month in BBS-Prom could be
helpful...  I was only concerned about having it show up more often than
that...

He was doing quite a bit, but then he got very sick... and right now, I
understand that not only is he still under the weather, but the weather
there has been brutal...  And it's like pushing water upstream to get
any cooperation there.  Autobots don't respond very well...  ;)
