Yes, I have an account on your BBS. Last time I tried to log in I
couldn't remeber the password. I lost a sheet containing passwords
to quite a few boards I call in a move I did not too long ago. Does
your BBS delete accounts after a period of inactivity? In that case
I can likely log in as a new user, if not I may have a problem. :)

Alright, I'll try to log in and see what I can dig up.

Thanks Bob!
