I just did a severe user trim, and am still running 291 users on here. I'd
have to class about 2/3 as the door game crowd, then take the last third,
split it four ways, 1/4 file leech, 1/4 capable of reading and writing ,
1/4 who do a little of everythig on the BBS, and the last 1/4 just stand
there with that deer in the headlights look . As to a new bunch of users,
not likely here, but its not as bad as Jack Smith has it. I still rack up 24
to 40 calls per day to the primary BBS number, and I can live with that. As
for Mex...hmmm....dunno if thats the cure all, although there IS a lot you
can do with it. Remember that a lot of us still love our MEC files .
Adios for now,
