   you arent trying to say mystic is better and more advanced than synchronet,    
   are you?  because you might be retarded if you think that.   
      
   mystic is just a renegade knock off because the guys that took over from cott    
   lang told you to fuck off.

   i'm a renegade and  telegard guy and i cant stand mystic.   
   i'd rather run elebbs or anything else.   
      
   and i dont know of any current bbses users who ran synchronet in the 90s.   
   your examples are very poor.   
      
   ... If you were an Armadillo, you'd worship trees, too!
