Well don't slag off at me, I *did* actually report the problem.

Oh, have you fixed it yet?

PE> FM> And, unless they point off you or use another BBS to send you a

PE> FM> they *can't* report it anyway! Catch-22!

PE> Yeah, it's a problem.  Good lesson for not losing your password,
PE> hey what!

Good lesson to not have brain-dead software, which requires different
passwords for an on-line session cf a point, and then requires you to
repeat it in a bloody .TIC file! Bloody Hell!

I have absolutely no idea what password I used whenever I first logged
on to TML. I know exactly what my point password is, it's a meaningless
combination of letters very similar to Rod Speed's point name. :-)

Actually, I just checked my "template" .TIC file - it still had the old
password which you insisted I change for reasons with which I still
don't agree. I'm surprised your brain-dead software picked up the
maybebug.zip. I've updated the template.

PE> FM> Er, what can't I spell?

PE> I can't remember.  Maybe I was talking about "Y" for
"Yell" or
PE> something.  BFN.  Paul.

Eh? How would *you* spell "Yell"? Rebel?
