      MSGID: 1:229/426 2FA832BE       TZUTC: -0500       I notice that many sysops are cool people who like having fun with computer        stuff. These are the guys (mostly guys) who modify BBS software, build        add-ons, write doors, post messages, load their BBS up with themed ansi, or        any combination of these activities. These people get it!              Then there's another subgroup of sysops who are way too uptight! These are the       guys who run 100% stock boards, post the rules every 5 minutes, flip-out when        somoene doesn't know something that they know, and don't get much satisfaction       from their significant others.              People need to loosen up! Take a vacation! When you get back, make your BBS a        fun place where people can just be themselves without having to suck up to        other people.              If this message is irritating you, then you definitely need to scroll back up        to the part about "take a vacation!"              --- Renegade vY2Ka2        * Origin: Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?
