   Points are self contained and they lose the "local" flavor of the BBS.  I've   
   tried to subscribe to both echos and no traffic exists in either of them even   
   with a %rescan on two systems that claim high message retention I suspect they   
   are passed through.   
      
   If you don't believe a mobile interface is relevant I can show you a facebook   
   page that has 250,000 users and 86% of the people who use it use mobile   
   devices.  Very few end user consumers use computers unless their job depends on   
   it.  Apple's PC sales have dropped drastically... their development focus has   
   been the mobile apps... and the surface laptops are taking over in the PC World   
   (I hate the damn things).
