I'm gating stuff now,  email and a couple of mailing lists into my bbs.

GIGO is what I use here,  and although there are a lot of capabilities in the
package it's not all that complicated compared to some of them.

Yeah?  You think it's that easy?

 jb> What i don't happen to have on hand is something to split the

Sounds to me like that's what a tosser does,  no?

Good luck!
