Ed,

 DS>   Rest In Peace, Nancy...you were such a joy to converse with.

 EV> She did try to keep the Memories Echo On Topic.

  She also helped to liven things up, and she was willing to engage
in conversation with anybody.

  I posted URLs for her obituary, and her graveside service in the
FIDONet MEMORIES echo, and the ILinkNet FRIENDLY TALK echo.

 EV> I enjoyed reading Her messages here and in other Echoes on some other
 EV> BBS Networks Mike subscribes to.

  When she saw my tagline "I took an IQ test, and the results were negative",
she replied "That explains a lot!! ".

  Later, she said "I hope you realized I was just razzing you", and I said
"I needed the laugh". :)

 EV> Sean said Nancy did a lot of Beta Testing for Him.
 EV> I didn't know that.

  I haven't done a lot of computer or BBS work lately. I'm lucky to just
do the messages. I hadn't looked at my QWK Mail in a few days, so this
packet was rather FAT -- over 1600 messages!!

 DS> ... Never drink and drive. Hitting a bump spills your drink.

 EV> Good Tagline!

  Plus, it's worse if it spills in your groin...whether it's hot in
temperature or not. :P

 EV> Now that You use MM instead of OLX, I can press the [T] Key to store
 EV> Your Tagline(s) instead of having to type them in by hand when I see a
 EV> GOODUN.

  I wondered how to do that. Nancy had a whole slew of taglines.

 EV> One thing SLMR did that the old versions of MM I use can't do is SEARCH
 EV> for a word that is in a Tagline so I can use it instead of having to
 EV> scroll down/or up the Tagline listing to hunt for one I especially want
 EV> to use for a message.

  I can enter new taglines, but then choose S to sort them by the first
letter. It's not as detailed as "a particular word", but it's a start.

 EV> I probably won't get MM updated real soon, tell me if MM Win can find a
 EV> Tagline as well as OLX.SLMR can?

  That feature, I'm not sure of...sorry.

  Before I started using MM, I imported previous tagline files into the
tagline file for MM, then sorted it, and deleted the duplicates...all via
Notepad.
