   SD>Instead of contacting me about any issues, he does this.  I wonder if Al   
   SD>realizes that unlike him, the rest of us have lives and treat this as a   
   SD>hobby?   
      
     Or like ham radio...we think it's an obsession . It's like, do you   
   [Sysop/Ham Radio Operator] take this [BBS/Ham Radio Rig] to be your   
   lawfully wedded spouse??    
      
     Plus, the Sysop may have other things in his life outside the BBS or   
   ham radio right now, such as family or medical issues. Sean, I know you   
   and I have both, as we share the fact that we're hams and Sysops. :) By   
   the way, Tim Grooms is also a ham and a Sysop.   
      
   SD>Oh, I don't care if anyone hates me.  I've been doing this for the better pa   
   SD>of a quarter-century and people like Al here come and go like turds in a   
   SD>toilet. ;)   
      
     Sort of like the truck with the business name of "Turd Burglar", and   
   it's motto was "I'm here to steal your $h!+".    
      
     Besides, Sean...if you're the moderator of the echo, you have the   
   right to say what stays and what goes. If the Sysops don't like it, they   
   can drop the echo from their BBS.
