========================
Hello again Daryl.

  Your comments back brought many a smile and memorys back for me...

 -=> Quoting Daryl Stout to Peter Coggon <=-

 DS> I also left a message to the Sysop (Feedback) to let them know if
 DS> they had any questions, to contact me. I don't think I've ever had a
 DS> problem on getting validated on another BBS.

  I looked at the BBS...the person there is a ham radio user as is
his assistant sysop.   Will try next time to make sense of his BBS
program.  I was lost by it all..and then all his conferences are 
read only...so might not be back for a long time <GRIN>.

 DS> That's correct. The info acts as a backup verification, if they lose
 DS> or forget their password. I myself have several times, embarassingly
 DS> forgotten the password to my own BBS!! Before I got married, the BBS
 DS> was at my parents house, and I'd go over to my fiancees' (sp?) place,
 DS> and try to logon. Then, I realized I didn't know my password, and I
 DS> couldn't logon to my own BBS!! <blush!>

  You are not alone.   I did myself in at a local school demonstrating
amateur radio , and using my BBS to access my radio equipment at home
which was easier then bring it all over to the school.  Like you...
I could not remember a thing.  I had to make another appointment at 
the school to demo the packet radio.    It was a long time until
I got away from this event.
 
 DS> We used to have face to face gatherings at a central Arkansas
 DS> restaurant once a month...just an informal time of food and
 DS> fellowship. The funniest part was when you met certain folks...they
 DS> weren't at all "like you pictured them". :) 95% of the users who've
 DS> ever applied to my BBS were civil and cordial...I see no reason to make
 DS> exception to the other 5% who don't wish to be.

  Ours were every weekend...worn me out.

  Agreed...the same applys on-air with people. When you meet them
they are totally different from their on-air or behind the keyboard
character.   I had 99% I think great people.   But then the info
collected was done in full or no access, and I had no problems.
Of the 1% no one I can remember was banned for life....<yikes thats
a long time>  We had a BBS users club and each was a shareholder of the
BBS.   
 
  Just got a FREE CPU for the packet BBS...but will tryout the dialup
BBS software, you suggest.  And mmm I will try the Internet connect too
 

 DS> P.S. If and when I can get that special utility for Synchronet that
 DS> Deuce (Stephen Hurd) is working on (hopefully just after the first of
 DS> the year), I'm hoping to get those ham radio doors back online.

 Ok see you later...I have to go out with the wife...big hurry here
