   That's a good idea I might pinch, if I get the thing off the ground as there's   
   some interest.   
      
   I like the idea of there being a semi-local contingent to the user base. Back   
   in the nineties, I got local callers because it was a local rate call (amongst   
   more spend-thrift national and even international callers). And similarly   
   tended to call mostly local BBSes. I remember one BBS running on an Atari   
   Falcon, a few miles down the road. Never met the person, but was good to have   
   the shared experience of living locally.    
      
   This more local approach to BBSing, alongside fidonet providing the   
   international dimension, has a definite charm. Especially with the idea of   
   your echomail messages working there way board by board across the globe,   
   night by night.   
      
   I think I'm just getting nostalgic as I hit middle age.
