Ed this has gone passed a quick plug for your bbs. I this is spam plain an
simple.
You hit all 3 of the echoes that I moderate and I don't like it one bit!
This is Fidonet and not the internet where spamming is just a way of life.
In the taglines echoes you spammed goes all over the world not just the US.
You have I would guess caused many a sysop to have to pay more to haul this
message all over the place.
I'm gonna send this and a full copy to your NC in hopes that you NC can
inform you that spamming in echomail is wrong!
Do not spam any of the echoes that I moderate again!

and a person.  Every one, barring perhapse ( you know the one they mde into a
movie with Jck Nicolson... um...) yeah well, tht one wasn't too great but the
rest, especially the Talisman, are permently embedded in my mind as brilliant
masterpieces.

Yes that IS true. . .If you haven't read it yet, also try the Talisman by

Write your reply.

assistant: For those of you interested in whether the Dark Tower books are worth the
time,I promise you they are.  "The Gunslinger" is a great introduction, but
"The Drawing Of The Three" really begins the fantastic journey.  Part three,
"The Wastelands" continues the journey of our friends.  However, "Wizard And
Glass",the fourth and most current installment is the best!  It's true, King
says there are three more books planned.  Unfortunately, it will be a few
more years till Part 5 comes out.  Whatever he puts out in between will be
just fine by me.
Thanks.  Bye.

Oh yeah...Word Processor of the Gods and The Ballad of the Flexible Bullet
were masterpieces, no?
Loved RH& Shawshank Redemption...Movie was pretty ok too...
Didn't like the running man much...LONG WALK RULES!!
Cujo was average, but heaps better than the movie...
Carrie was a remarkably written novel...TFS
Christine was cool 'cept i thought the mixer truck at the end was silly...
Shuld have been a bulldozer like in the flic...
SF, the dark tower is kewl
Loved through the eyes of the dragon too...VG  VG indeed...
'specially the way he described life through the eyes of a dog
BTW, does King himnself ever use BBS's?....  There's one guy who I could chat
with...
TALISMAN IS BRILLIANT!
