I would never have guessed! :-(

I've had enough of this. I'm fixing out forthwith. In fact I see very
little point in keeping the Fidonet going. You guys are all a waste of
space if you're going to continue like this.

My BBS is used by only one person - my wife - for the purpose of writing
Internet mail. It's convenient for her because she's used to it but it's
hardly a reason for keeping a BBS running. I'm closing it down as soon as I
can get my wife weaned off it. As for my Fido node, that will probably go
too if it doesn't seem to be useful. At the moment it is useful to others,
but it goes when no-one else has a use for it. I can then get rid of some
of these archaic computers on my LAN (three of them are running on 486s).

That's it! Goodbye, fellahs.

Best wishes, David
