Hello Dale,

So you say. But you also claim to run a BBS which has users, but refuse to give
me the infomation needed to verify that myself. So...

In that case I also run a BBS. From P4:

A coordinator is encouraged to operate a public bulletin board system which
is freely available for the purpose of distributing Policy, FidoNews, and
Nodelists to potential new sysops.

See my origin. You can read "bulletins" and obtain copies of Policy, Fidonews
and nodelists...


Cheers, Michiel
