That's interesting :) And yes, I think that was generally true in Z1.. if a
person could get mail going back and forth between his or her system and a
host system, we generally encouraged the point to become a sysop.. I still
think it's a good idea though I do wish someone would think of a way to
entice more of our users back to our echos :) Not an easy thing with the
internet msg. boards being used so much.. :(

Take care,
Janis
