I guess you have never heard of the Summer Doldrums in bbs'ing?
You can't realistically expect a lot of message traffic when the weather
outside is so beautiful and most are off to ride the waves. Just wait
till a couple of weeks after school starts when everyone is back from
vacation and give people a chance to get into the swing of things.

Well, you're hearing from me now and no offense but I think a moderator
has to contribute some soul to an echo. If he just lets it alone then
there isn't much left to moderate then is there?


 ET> Bye and thanks for all the fish.

It's a nice tuna but could you turn up the bass a little?
What we need here is more sax and violins!
