So what the bloody f*ck _is_ SBBS, anyway?!?

I hate it when people post messages offering you these systems that _they_
obviously believe are the greatest things since sliced toast, and just 
_assume_ you agree and know all about what they're talking about...

All I ask is that they put in at least one little _phrase_ (not even a
whole sentence!) that gives you _some_ idea what the thing is.  I mean,
saying "SBBS is available for beta test, and here's how you get it" doesn't
do a thing for someone who has no idea what SBBS stands for; all you need
is "SBBS (my new whirlygig that slices, dices, and strudels mices) is now
available for beta test", and then the rest _exactly_ as before!  

Is that so hard?!?
