Yes, I know.  However, getting message packets isn't all I'm doing...
and, if I understand pointing correctly, I'd have to set up as a point
from more than one source to have my backups in place.

I don't mind the log-on experience, I like the different flavors of the
different boards, on most of the boards I frequent I can check to see
who else has been on that day, and I do play a couple of word and trivia
games on the different bbs's.  Even on Chowda, where I get my packets as
email attachments (and could, although it doesn't always work right,
send my replies via email, as at one point when the bbs itself wasn't
accessible I had to), I generally log on nightly, to play Scrabble and
to u/l any reply packet I might have.  

I think I'd have to admit that I'm as addicted to the bbs itself as the
messaging..     When one of my favorites is down I go thru withdrawal
as much as I would if I couldn't get any messages anywhere...  :)
