wait, what? are you ""stuck"" on one machine, one person? i certainly do not
want other folks' mail in my stuff nor do i want mine in their's... they can
run their own point or node with or without full bbs if they want and i'll run
mine... long gone are the days where one machine is tasked with one job... now
those types of things are done per account and machines have numerous
accounts... each standing alone and separate from the others...
