Paul, at 02:40 on May 28 1996, you wrote to Bill Grimsley...

Real world popular BBS software not good enough for you, is it?

That's why my file-attaches include a netmail message.  Novel concept, eh?

BG> Anyway, why should *I* break the law, when you flatly refuse to?

PE> Bill, you wouldn't have a clue what laws I may or may not break.

True, the world is full of hypocrites.

Nope, it was actually giving you a taste of your own medicine.  If Dave
hadn't sent you something immediately, I would have (but I wasn't about to
tell you that).  If it happens again though, you can basically go fuck
yourself.

So what else is new?

You dummy was still at 20,000 feet when it passed here earlier...

ROFL!  Paul, the modem guru?  I think not somehow.  :)

So when have you ever suggested things I can try at my end?  Not that I'd
have taken much notice, given your track record with PC hardware and
peripherals.

You mean it'll STILL be none?  What a surprise!

PE> Or anything much else come to think of it.

Unless you actually delete my email, what else is there?
