The computer field is like most fields. There are people who think that
they know everything there is to know and folks that know that they don't
know everything there is to know. You can determine which the "Dopus"
falls into.

On my board "BOBsBBS 916/929-7511", I conducted a survey to find out
which features of BBS software callers liked most. Not surprising to me, at
least, callers mentioned factors associated with ACTIVE callers and SYSOPs
rather than features of software that make boards more popular than others!

Take heed potential sysops! No matter what software you want to run,
your callers will be happier if YOU are active on the board!

BTW: I'm not new at this. I've been a sysop since 1985.
