I take it then, that you have no experience of the pre-Frontdoor era?
Back then, you had to exit your BBS program and start your mailer program
during ZMH to be able to exchange mail.
In comes this 17yo Swedish kid with a Turbo Pascal program that could
distinguish between mailer calls and BBS-callers (). He called
it Frontdoor.
And then of course he went on to to develop a lot more for our mutual
benefit (see various FTSC documents) but that's a different story.
So yes, I think that JoHo deserves "an atmosphere of holiness" as thanks for
all that he contributed to our hobby during the POTS era.
