I think that was more a function of the Blue Wave door. Nowthat we have BW
readers trying to tell QWK doors to toggle echos, the previously stripped
messages just get posted. Whether youcould tag files or not is not in my
memory banks right now. It's too bad development stopped on BW pre-2K, as I
understand, thedate is the only thing keeping the door and the reader from
working properly in this melinium.

impresive hoops `back in the days'.
