That's a good idea I might pinch, if I get the thing off the ground as there's 
some interest.

I like the idea of there being a semi-local contingent to the user base. Back 
in the nineties, I got local callers because it was a local rate call (amongst 
more spend-thrift national and even international callers). And similarly 
tended to call mostly local BBSes. I remember one BBS running on an Atari 
Falcon, a few miles down the road. Never met the person, but was good to have 
the shared experience of living locally. 

This more local approach to BBSing, alongside fidonet providing the 
international dimension, has a definite charm. Especially with the idea of your 
echomail messages working there way board by board across the globe, night by 
night.

I think I'm just getting nostalgic as I hit middle age.
