 SD> I believe that BBSing is a hobby and not a paying interest.

As I said, I've had friends who wanted to make BBSing a self-
sustaining activity, and almost all of them have failed. The
satisfaction of performing a service has had to be enough,
which it appears to be for you.

I agree with this view, and besides, you'll have fewer headaches
if you keep this attitude.

We thank you for it.

That's too bad. According to DeWitt and Gerlach, chile heat is
supposed to be good for ulcers (of course as the spokespeople
for chileheads everywhere, they would say so), as it increases
blood flow to the affected areas. Consult a physician before
embarking on any such course of treatment, though!

 SD> Sure thing.  I'll be on and off here during the week.  Tonight, our
 SD> town is having their fireworks (I don't know why), but we're going out

Prestige, so-called, is part of it, and another motivation is to
satisfy the appetites of those who would otherwise be blowing
off their and others' limbs.

 SD> to get some fireworks for the 4th (small fireworks are legal here in
 SD> TN).  We'll probably be over at my parents' for the 4th.

Doesn't matter here if fireworks are legal or not, people still
keep shooting them off, and the cops don't really do much about
it around the 4th. In fact, during our 4th extravaganza in Salem
there was a competing PRIVATE celebration a few streets over, and
at times it appeared to be as big as ours (no live music nor grand
finale, though, but then of course they piggybacked).
