    Dear Interested SysOp,

        MetroNet began in 1994 with as little as 3 bulletin boards
    in South-West Pennsylvania and quickly expanded to well over
    63 boards through-out Pennsylvania and a few western states.
    Slowly but surely the InterNet reared it's ugly head into
    town and the users were no longer interested in "lowly bbs's"
    but all the "pretty pictures" of the InterNet.  The BBS's
    tried to put up a fight, but couldn't stand up to it.  BBS's
    began shutting down, along with  that, dropping out of our
    network and taking their users (what was left) with them.

        Now, after a couple years, we have deceided to use the
    InterNet to our advantage and ask that all telnet boards
    still interested in the fun and enjoyment of message based
    conversation join our fight.  That is why we are back, and
    we aren't backing down this time.

        If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, please fill
    out the METROXXX.APP application (or run METROAPP.EXE) and
    netmail or email it back to me. (Replacing the XXX with your
    initials please) We are always looking for people who want
    to hub/host mail for BBS's that are still alive in their
    particular area.

        Mail can be transfered by standard telnet sessions with
    mailer to mailer or by other such mailers as Internet Rex,
    or any other newer style fidonet style mailer via BinkP.

        If you feel you can help out, or interested, please
    by all means join our network and help us rebuild it
    better than before.

.... We should back the Metric system every inch of the way
