That,
Wrong mate.. (see previous reply to you) you are not "educating" people,
you're simply spreading misinformation, unless you can back up your claims
with facts it's better not to try to "educate" people with second hand
knowledge... I can see why some people take offense to your "educational"
posts...
you're
And propogating falsehoods is your idea of the right way...

my
And I've yet to hear one solid fact from you about adeptxbbs capabilities or
limitations... granted i came into this thread late, so i'll give you the
benifit of the doubt and say you posted legitimate operational or setup
questions related to adept, so here's your chance, post those questions to
*ME*, I'll answer em as best I can and will even check the code to make sure
my answers are factual... If adept can't do something, I'll tell you so in
plain english, but i ask that you reciprocate and stop spreading bad info in
this echo when u have no facts to back up your claims..
his
long,
Given the previous "educational" material u presented, i find it hard to
swallow that your making factual statements, perhaps your just stating what
*you* believe to be true, your certainly not speaking as someone who has
given
adept a true trial run....
Post your questions to me... I'll see you get valid answers to all of them...
Bill has no code to look at, I do, post yur questions... and lay off Bill,
he's doing one helluva a new adeptsysop support job puerly as a labor of
love...
That's kinda a low blow Vincent, how many new sysops have *you* helped setup
*any* bbs package this week?? Bill helps literally dozens of wannabe adept
sysops on his own time, with no reward but the satisfaction of seeing another
adept system take flight....
See above....
Oh? And your "educational" material is the truth ?? Tell me how long did u
test drive adept on your system ??
