   Don't get me wrong, it's definitely not a bad idea at all. The more   
   features we can provide to this aging, crusting technology the better, I   
   guess.   
      
   Now to your usage description.. How often do you actually use the interbbs   
   messaging feature that Synchronet has? I've gotten maybe 10 messages from   
   others the entire time I've run Synchronet, and by the time I reply,   
   they've already logged off whatever system they were on. I dunno. I just   
   don't see much usage coming of it, to be honest. Then again, this is coming   
   from someone stuck in their old ass ways. :)
