Hiya Phillip,

I totally know the feeling :)  CUrrently my board has like thousands of 
messages with Dovenet, Usenet, and soon Fidonet.  I also have tons of files 
I'll be adding to the file area, and though most can be find online just as 
easily I'd like this to be a one-stop place for certain types of software, 
namely BBS-related stuff, some database tools, etc.  

Gotta love Sync and BBSing via the Internet :)

Sam
