See, you present yourself as having some level of intelligence and I know 
you develop things, but then you cop out with little digs towards software
or things here that are "standard". Rob Swindell does the same thing... I have
a message from him dated '05 insulting all of us running DOS boards.

You know 90's stuff is whats in use and enjoyed. Look at how many Mystic and
Synchronet guys trip over themselves making FTN's or door games work just as 
how they remember from back then. If you have something to contribute beyond 
commentary then please politely show me where I can test it myself.

Its not rescand or storage thats the problem. I don't care if mail piles up 
for months as long as I'm told a good reason why... someone has cancer,
Covid, family member died, etc. Fine, connect here when you can.

Even the ones who trolled me were always welcome to grab a feed from my
system, polite invitations were always extended. One of the biggest ones ever
one day emailed me considering me a "friend" because I always offered open
access to everything, never nuked him or cut feeds etc.

And again, I can't understand the real meaning of this without you clearly
bringing something to the table for comparison. We already have Jas Hud for
bravado nonsense.
