   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!"
