Hi Steven,

"Does not like" should not be an argument in a technical issue.

But.. you would not be listed as private. You would be listed as Pvt. There
is a difference.

 SH> I was told that once my IP address appeared in the BBS name,

Indeed it is.

 SH> I add that using one flag to serve two different purposes

The problem is however is that it does NOT work. Not for the majority of
people that use a FidoNet mailer.
