Are you the person missing the old bbs-style messages and that
friendly group of people you used to know? Did you think the
Internet replaced the BBS? Did you lose your connection? Are
you tired of messages to ALL? Overquoting and headers? How
about Spam like this message?<g
BBSing didn't die. In fact it's making a come back! Did you
know that there are a LOT of BBSes available via telnet? Did
you know you can read your favorite bbs conferences with any
usenet news reader? No spam, no porno ads, get rich ads, headers,
long footers, overquoting, just what you miss!
