There are untold megabytes of news running through the net *every day*,
and no one can remember it all.  I for example, try to completely
forget news articles that I am not interested in (saves clutter in
what's left of my brain).  I assume SBBS is some kind of Bulletin Board
system, probably for PC's.  But Rob should have mentioned in the latter
message what SBBS is, and possibly have included a reference to his previous
article.
