Pardon me for my insensitivity, but this posting provided enough fuel for a 
good 5-minute bout of laughter and a big grin I'll wear the rest of the day.
Reminds me of my mother-in-law, cursing her car, Detroit and men all at the
same time, because it doesn't work the way she wants it to work.

The BBS is definitely unconventional in its execution, and intitally clumsy
in its user interface.  The phone lines occasionally get noisy, too.  All
that can be worked around.  Like John Serafin said elsewhere, the BBS
becomes versatile and flexible after you've used it for a while.  You
just have to learn it.

If it helps any, remember that the BBS is running on a Un*x system, and it
feels just like Un*x does to a novice.  See what you've got to look forward
to?

Best of luck to the poor "damn sysop" and to my fellow BBS users.  Welcome
to Un*x, the OS of the future!
