   AH> Heheheh, Mystic is the best thing out there right now, and here's why:   
   AH>    
   AH> -- Setting up FTNs is the easiest process I've seen on any software.   
   AH> Nothing extra is needed to get up and running or to host a net.   
   AH> -- The built-in full screen editor is the best in the game   
   AH> --Reading/scanning/replying to messages is the best in the game.   
   AH> -- Everything can be customized, and it's not hard to do   
   AH> -- Nice lightweight program, runs great on Raspberry Pi.   
   AH> -- And much much more....

   AH> I have to commend you James for making FTNs so trivial to setup. No more   
   AH> of that mailer/tosser dance... my messages arrive, my TIC files arrive,   
   AH> my nodelists compile automatically. It's perfect!   
      
   Agreed...     
      
   I will say this.  I have been a sysop since the early 1980s.  Started on the   
   Apple //c running Apple-Net 2.4 back then.  Ever since I went PC back in   
   around 1986, I have been running WWIV.  Nothing else.  Never even tested   
   anything else.   
      
   That being said, I have tested and toyed around with Mystic.  I have never   
   even touched another BBS platform in all that time.     
      
   Not saying I would ever ditch WWIV, but I have without a doubt thought about   
   running a second BBS under Mystic for fun.
