I guess one could make the argument that thinking that a job worth doing
is worth doing right is a character flaw. I know this is hard to 
believe, but when I ran Beta Board I left the sysop page on one night by
mistake. SOme fine fellow paged me a 3 a.m. I was silly enough to get up
and chat with him. I ran as meaningful a board as I could given the 
money, time and everything else. Running a board on five floppy drives 
like Larry and I did meant at least 30 hours a week maintenance. Some
weirdness amoung the teens made me shut down, but I couldn't have kept 
going much longer anyway. Now I sysop a private BBS run for my company's
customers, gatewayed to our LAN. Maintenance is a snap. I'm glad you 
remember the those days of yore. I'm even more glad you're working in 
COSUARD. I wasn't particularly looking to pick a fight with Nancy, and 
said what I did out of respect to the higher aspirations of the group. 
I'm not foolish enough to think that the author of that article would
be accepting of criticism, but I'm not here looking for acceptance. I 
think the undertaking is a lot more serious than the content of the 
article might imply. I think future articles need be better.
