BUT, I request that people put in REAL information and I > voice verify them.. And here are my reasons, if you like them good, if you > dont, I really dont care because you will be missing out on one good system. > Remember, the sysop is the one who spends $1,000+ on hardware to run the > system, $500+ on software (I run WildCat WinServer), plus labor, time, > headaches, etc... I am the one who pays the $80 a month comercial cable > modem bill, I am the one who built the system and pays the electric bill > because its turned on 24/7 a day.. I was the one who spent $300 to replace > 4 56k USR V.Everythings when i got hit by lightinging on the phone lines.. > I am the one who goes to computer shows and buys $10-$15 Shareware CD's to > load onto the system.. I am the one who shells out $20-50 to register each > door on the system.. So, If I want your real name and phone number, its MY > RULE! U dont like it, dont sign up.
