 I wonder how many BBS users are actual "users", at this point.  I know I've got about 20 or so users that log in semi-regularly, most have expressed how they used to run a BBS at one point or another.  

I'd imagine most sysops that have run a BBS for more than a few months would know what FidoNet is and possibly what "othernets" are. It's not too far of a stretch to figure out what "FTN" means. 

That said, someone who is simply a user, and only logs into a BBS for the door games likely would have no clue.
