I think this is why I've never felt particularly compelled to add DOVENET to my board.

Well, that, and it's not like I even get through all the FSXnet messages, or the couple of FIDOnet bases I'd bother checking.

But FSXnet is nice, since, while we can get prickly from time to time, the no politics and religion bit keeps me from getting too frustrated or involved.

And I guess I did add a person to the twit filter, at some point.

But, anyway, yes, normally FSXnet is a friendly place. Easier to stay engaged with that, and easier to be nice.

 ho> It has to have something unique, a hook to let me think about coming

I guess there aren't a lot of people who check what random holiday it is today, based off the ANSIs on my BBS, but it still feels kinda neat to have something fairly unique.

I should probably just turn it into something for other people to run, because, hey, it'd also be neat to have something that's run on a variety of BBSs.

But, regardless, it's nice for the fact that I can point at something I did, even if I don't do much of anything else. :)
