Stupid sysops. My purpose is to make a users stay as pleasant as possible! I 
did not start a board to give users a hard time trying to get around or 
explore a BBS. Esspecialy now internet is more populair.

Yes, but I'm calling today and I want it today, not tomorrow.

10 files eh? Yes, that is why most systems suck! they nver heard of 'F R E E
