Hello, Warpslide!

Replying to a message of Warpslide to Sean Dennis:

 W> lol

You ain't kiddin'.  Wilfred and Michiel would be on me like white on rice.  I do have the full source code to ProBoard but since I a) don't know C and b) know that a MSGID kludge doesn't really mean much anymore, I am not going to bother trying to add that into PB.

The thought of me going into FIDOTEST and smacking the hornets' nest is entertaining ,.. yes, I do have a masochistic side.  I am, after all, a BBS sysop.

I have run my BBS now for half of my life and I really don't care what the naysayers think.  Like Mr. Sinatra sang, I'll do it my way.

Fun fact: there is a 16-bit OS/2 ProBoard executable hiding in that source code.  So I know it can be done but the PB source code is an unmitigated Dumpster fire that needs an expert's touch.

Later,
Sean
