Sure does, 'specially if your going to hang out around brobocop 

You know, he's a bot on the bbs - and you can talk to him, ask him
questions, etc.. if you piss him off bad enough, he kicks you off the bbs
(even ME! Lol) Not that I TRY to get him p'o'd

I don't think our net has one set up.. but I'll ask Thom if we've got
anything set up at fidonet.net.. that's one way to do it.. i.e., net 261
would make arrangements for "someone" to collect/send the email
from fidonet.net and that person would then hold the e-mail for various
people.. I will check it out. If I get bbbs' email daemon set up here, I
could do it as well.. I was asked by another person if I could do that for
him a few days ago, and I just haven't had time yet to get it going.. I
will give it a shot though, and in the meantime I'll ask Thom if we've got
anything set up for net 261.

Take care,
Janis
