I do mind.  I only rang up to ask for annual leave at 10am.

Well I believe in not touching the BBS too.  Basically all the
"touching" I have been doing to date is to get the bloody thing
to work properly.  You can probably tell that it still isn't working
properly.  The only reason I turned OFF dupe checking was because I caught
it flagging something as dupe that I had never seen before.

And before anyone says, "Isn't it obvious that a totally wiped area,
several corrupted areas, and a TRAP-D on outgoing mail is obviously due to
me setting 'Dupes 0' in my squish.cfg", yes I admit it was bloody
obvious now that you mention it, and I'll whip myself viciously tonight so
that I remember.

You may have noticed that I still can't have points sending me mail whilst
I'm still waiting for mail from Dave.  Incredible but true.  I suppose one
of the problems is that I didn't get a great deal of help when setting up
my BBS.  One person did help me, but they weren't happy to answer all my
questions at once, and didn't sound like they were happy about me ringing
them up at all.

And yes, FD, RA is *HEAPS* easier to set up than the crap I'm using. 
Still, with points-only, and Tobruk and Binkley, at least I'll have source
code to everything.  Like putting 2/10 second delay in to fix double-send. 
Brilliant! BFN.
