        It's slowed down some, but the Internet will not take over 
mpletely.
 JS> I intend to hang on as long as possible and feed the
 JS> Aviation/Flying conferences.... Give us help!
        I do help.  I've even offered to pay the boss's FIDOnet fees each
month in an effort to help his polling the backbone.  In the first case, I
got no reply, in Ed's case he agreed to consider the situation, and I'm
advertising the board for him in an effort to expand the user base.  It works
both ways.  It's not enough for users just to post and upload, they need to
take a pro-active stance in maintaining their BBS.
        One hopes the sysop has the experience to recognize the true meaning
of serious offers of aid and not put them off when they are made.  The 
internet
is no excuse for taking a board down, not for the most part.
