Agreed...  

I will say this.  I have been a sysop since the early 1980s.  Started on the 
Apple //c running Apple-Net 2.4 back then.  Ever since I went PC back in around 
1986, I have been running WWIV.  Nothing else.  Never even tested anything 
else.

That being said, I have tested and toyed around with Mystic.  I have never even 
touched another BBS platform in all that time.  

Not saying I would ever ditch WWIV, but I have without a doubt thought about 
running a second BBS under Mystic for fun.
