 cl> Changed the Subject to something more appropriate :D

I go back and forth on that one, since I know that, _somewhere_, people do threads, and changing the subject messes with it.

But reading things through Mystic, having a subject that makes sense is _way_ easier when listing messages.

But I mostly go one-by-one and ignore subjects, so I'll admit it's not especially important to me, here. But I do wonder what makes the most sense, etiquette-wise.

....though now I've just destroyed the topic, if people respond to this part. :)

 cl> I use my board for various things.  Love my ANSI TV when I just need
 cl> some Mod Music and a blast of ANSI. 

....that's on your board? I could definitely see having a video stream of ANSIs and mods, but didn't think that was a BBS technology.

 cl> MRC during the workday I chat as time permits through out the day.

MRC is great, though I'm happy to just stop in on Fridays when I remember about the Meatup.

 cl> I'm more interested in this ANSI per day thing.  How does that work?

It's a simple script I made, that's _mostly_ just showing something for a given day in the year (it's a _bit_ more complicated than that, because there are a small amount of items that display if it's x day of y week, or all the various other ways that holidays pop up, or with a monthly ANSI if there's not one available for that particular day because of something I missed/did wrong.).

Well, simple script, plus an entirely-too-much-work set of (currently) 379 ANSIs that I spent a year drawing.
