I think what you're doing can only be one of two things (not talking about intent, just about ultimate end state)...

1. A discussion on how BBS software and networks will never be able to address this other concern I have. What a disappointment.

2. We need to make BBS software and networks meet this concern I have. How can we go about that?


Now if I add intent, I don't think you're doing #1. I think you're doing #2. And I think that is just misaligned to the community. 

And as I mentioned in my last post, the security and privacy world has advanced hugely in the last few decades, and BBS software did not keep up. So in a way, a sort of technical debt is instantly created by choosing a platform (BBS) that doesn't in any way meet the need you've described. It would be much, much faster to start from scratch.
