These are ideas that appeal to me, they get the kinds of users that
appeal to me. You are entirely coorrect IF you do wish to have that kind
of focused BBS. I like the general nature of what Rob has designed,
right out of the ZIP file. Yes that makes me like all of the rest. But
that's OK for me.

To have the kind of BBS you describe would envolve way more attention
than I am willing to give.

However my ideas should get some attention and if you select the
locations well, you can get callers. Your suggestions are refinements
and well worth considering.

That maybe so, but I don't think your advertising methods can be the
cause.

As much trouble as one can get you into, I think two would be a virtual
death sentence.


You are a strange dude...
