 TL> Well, to each his own...I prefer email lists to echoes....I can access

 SA> BBSes should stay         on boards...

 TL> As I said, I prefer the internet access.

    Sad.  That's not bbsing to me.  That's reading something on the
    internet NOT a bbs....telnet is at least somewhat bbsable.
