Understand. No offense intended. I knew in the days when bbs's were very
popular a bbs software switch can be severly fatal. I did Use synchronet for
over 4 years, Rob made a great software package, but there were too many bells
and whistles to worry about. 

I am using some old softwares right now. OLMS is probally never gonna be
maintained again but it still does a good job.

I was talking about rewarding and thanking the people who do stuff today was to
encourage them to continue on.
