is the main reason I put up a BBS in the first place... well... you know.
I will continue to support my BBS door software through my Web Site

bunch
not
did everyone start at the same time...  Not trying to be funny or anything,
but i thought that was the name of the game. I'm currently Trying to get
my interbbs doors up and running again.  Was in Hellnet, and battlenet before
bbs crashed, You may want to try one of them.  BattleNet has a good bre
league, and Fe league.  But I thought the purpose of interbbs games and
many of the other games is to dominate and defeat the other players. If
everyone started at the same time and everyone is playing fair then, its
every man for himself.  If its interbbs, Then its every bbs for itself.
Sounds like the league is working pretty good huh!

    We just finished a three day weekend to St.Louis.  My daughter was a

invited to perform at Six Flags.  She rode up on the team/school bus and we
followed in a rental van (with three kids, we need the space).
    It was a fun time for all, altho we spent a bit more than we had planned.
But we will probably do it again in a year or two... still more to see.
    On topic:   Any doors out there to allow callers to register where they
went on vacation, what they say, and how'd they rate it?  With a lookup
feature for subsequent callers, by city, state, or topic/keyword.......
