I don't know if Mike would be interested in finding out if that option
is set.
Or if it is, if He would want to change it on His BBS.

I've 'bugged' Him with messages every time I see the old Easter Islands
IP Address "cco.ath.cx" showing up.

I would think to change a option setting the BBS would have to be taken
OffLine while looking at or editing BBS settings.

I'm glad the BBS is available to be used, I don't want to cause Him to
have to do a lot of work.
I just think I'm trying to be of help.

Mark, You said that You use Sunchronet BBS Software.
When You want to look at settings, or edit them does Waldo's Place go
OffLine while You do that?

Thanks and 73.
