where that was coming from is that some package, some many years back, came
up with a method of importing the backbone.na file directly into the bbs
system to configure all the message areas... that led to systems with
improper security with regard to sysop only and other similar type areas
(aka regional only, zonal only, net only, etc)... that led to
""leaking"" of certain areas and those areas are still
leaking today because no one has gone back and
"FixedTheirShit" ;) kinda like those bbs-in-a-box
archives... unzip it, change one or two things and hey! you're a sysop!

no soapbox here...
