 NB>> there is no competing with a lion that has no proboscis at all
 NB>> And what, if anything, is that supposed to mean....?  :)

 MK> To the message nothing but of itself I believe it has to do with
 MK> Nosolgy and going too far in serving one's greatness.  It is a quote
 MK> from Edgar Allan Poe's short story entitled "Some Passages in the Life
 MK> of a Lion (Lionizing.)" 

Ah.... ok...  :)

 NB>> In any case, no need for me to volunteer.... <G>

 MK> I reiterate; You're no fun anymore.  ;-)

Neither are you, then...  :)

 NB>> Calling someone else's bbs adds the extra layer, and if something
 NB>> goes wrong there, you aren't in a position to even try to fix it

 MK> True but that also puts us on even ground.

I suppose so..  :)  I've always left the bbs fixes to the sysops... ;)

 NB>> So something to enhance your neighbors' wireless experience....?

 MK> No.  There isn't anything I can do to improve the experience given
 MK> that I have absolutely nothing to do with the cyberworld beyond other
 MK> than providing them a connection to it.

Ok, so what is the purpose of this new project...?

 NB>> Ah, an update to VIM....

 MK> Everything including vim but given that vim seems to be at the heart
 MK> of my messaging scheme then it would seem to be of the greater
 MK> importance. 

You said something about it being some sort of server... so, of use in
your messagings....?

 NB>> While I won't mourn the loss of the Bottles of Beer countdown, I
 NB>> do kinda miss the other countdown to the next virtual toasts....

 MK> That can be fixed.
 MK> ... Cybertoasts of note:
 MK> 2019-01-01 is   91 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.
 MK> 2024-11-05 is 2226 days from now and falls on a Tuesday.

I see you managed to put it back into circulation...  :)  thanks...
