Dam it. I hit 'lose' accidentally instead of 'save' so I have to do this
again.... ahhhh!!!

I'll submit two things I DO like a bout qwk door. You can set it up so
you don't dnld 'messages to you' and the qwk door deletes dupes (that
is if you forgot whether or not you uploaded certain replies or
not.... you'll know if you did as you'll see "duplicate deleted" in
the upload list. ((Sometimes I get those two terms mixed up.)

 Most sysops don't mind adding new echos to their bbs but if it's one
there's blacklisted users for he or she might be reluctant.

 We agreed on one point and not another which is okay. I think we
agree every 'way of doing things' has both plusses and minuses. Akin
to choosing climates to live in. Your choice hinges on what you like
the best and then what you're willing to put up with out of the
disliked.

 I see :)

 JB> You can pass-through, and request echoes the boss doesn't carry?

 I think they get the echos right off the backbone. I'll check this
out with my bossnode.

nod I remember! Oh btw I used bwave DOOR on one bbs, with the olmr quite
nicely. Nice thing was you could use the door's twit filter instead
of having to use the reader's filter. (So the twit messages never get
ON your system in the first place marked as 'red')... but then someone
said FIdONET doesn't like that practice. I forget the details on this
issue.

 CH> bless his heart, got me set up with it. *Had some troubles but worked

 JB> It's all just a series of steps either way. Like anything I expect.


  Yeah it is like everything. Different strokes for different folks.

  I never take no for an answer! :) Well unless it's explained, maybe..

 This gets cut off into next message where I made you laugh! :) Glad

... That's not a bug. It's supposed to do that.
