I'm not bashing the users of the software. I'm simply correcting a false claim
made here: TG doesn't "do telnet".

It's my personal opinion that software that hasn't been updated in years and
doesn't support the way people uses BBSes today is "crappy", and
in saying so,
I'm simply hoping to encourage someone, anyone, to update said software to the
"Internet age".

If I'm bashing anyone, it's the authors of said software, not the users.
Sometimes programmers need a fire lit under their butt.
