Well, such as having to use qwk packets since that is the best choice on
that bbs, and then having the qwk/rep issues; or, having things on a bbs
not really quite set up for the use of things like netmail IN the qwk

other hand, we don't have to know quite so much technical stuff as mere
users...  ;)
