The inviting attitude shown here is exactly what I love about BBSing...(o_O) (if you're going to be sarcastic, do it right! ;) Ex> Dude, this is a BBS ... you knew what was expected in 1993. NOTHING has Ex> changed. Only the stupid mindset of people since then. All the ones Ex> now want to run and hide. Certainly, a lot has changed *outside* this arena. And a lot has changed *inside* as well, from what I can tell. My memories from 30 years ago may not be perfect, because I still had the optimism of a child, but I definitely *don't* remember this much negativity! Perhaps it's just a trait of our aging member base. Perhaps we really *are* becoming the grumpy old men that used to chase us out of their yards. I say 'we', because I'm feeling like I was pretty grumpy lately, too...I would like to blame someone else for that, but it wouldn't be realistic to do so. I am the only one responsible for my own behaviour. Just like you, Exodus. (o_-) Will you choose...wisely? McDoob SysOp, PiBBS pibbs.sytes.net ....
