George,

 GP> Rule #1: No autoposts, please.

  As you wish...I have sent out a final post that except for the local
message areas, all autoposts of Today In History and otherwise have
been SUSPENDED, unless I hear from the echo moderator that they are
OK. As a result, they will appear on my BBS ONLY.

  With the BBS Ads message areas, several postings of an ad for a BBS
are done several times a day, and numerous times a week. I had to turn
on Duplicate Checking to get rid of those extra messages.

  To me, the extra ad postings are overkill...folks should want to logon
to a BBS because they WANT to, and NOT because they HAVE to. With my
health and schedule, mine is usually the only one I logon to, and I can
not do it every day. I was tied up yesterday with "The Weather Watch Net"
with Winter Weather Advisories for freezing rain across much of the state
during the day. Combined with very little sleep the night before, I was
exhausted.

 GP> Q: "Why do Transformers use Amazon?  A: Because they get Prime
 GP> shipping!" (but they gotta pay the $100/year fee! Great deal if
 GP> your wife lives on Amazon  as her second home!)

  Or like the song "She's Gone, Gone, Gone"...in this case, to WalMart.
Her husband's dying wish is to be buried at WalMart, so his wife will
come and see him every day.

 GP> I wish for you much joy!

  Like with Thanksgiving, I will spend the rest of my holidays home
alone. Except for the meaning of certain days, each day is just another
day on the calendar of life anymore. With all the holidays being on a
Thursday this year (US Thanksgiving, then Christmas and New Years), I
likely won't talk to anyone...unless they call on the phone. Wednesday
and Thursday are my 2 nights of the week I don't have to run ham radio
traffic nets.
