   hmmmm...   true...   stubborn loyalty AND major addiction!    And, of   
   course, the loyalty works both ways, with sysops (etc) helping out the   
   rest of us who need our access to feed the addiction... ;)   Jack was   
   also instrumental in getting me functional with telnet, when I* faced   
   the prospect of losing my access to bbs's...   :)
