You forget that not everyone uses BinkP and mailers to move mail,
right?  There's also some people that only poll once a day and prefer
to get one large compressed bundle than hundreds of little PKTs.

I seem to notice a general trend amongst Zone 1 sysops that seem to
think that everyone uses BinkP and has a full-time Internet connection
in the BBS world.  Personally, I prefer just using FTP to move mail
since it'd a hell of a lot simpler than BinkD.

But I digress.  This really is a topic for another echo rather than in
GOLDED.
