 Sure, no problem ... feel free to send me mail on the BBS if you want to
see something ... it's a bit of a mess right now, as it's really only up
for my enjoyment ... but I'd like to get a few regular users there :)

I was thinking of re-doing the message bases (I may still do that tonight).
as a lot of them didn't 'take' when I set them up initially.  I also have
lots of Z2 echos (russian, and various other languages) and Z4 echos
(Usually in Spanish) as well.
