   You forget that not everyone uses BinkP and mailers to move mail,   
   right?  There's also some people that only poll once a day and prefer   
   to get one large compressed bundle than hundreds of little PKTs.   
      
   I seem to notice a general trend amongst Zone 1 sysops that seem to   
   think that everyone uses BinkP and has a full-time Internet connection   
   in the BBS world.  Personally, I prefer just using FTP to move mail   
   since it'd a hell of a lot simpler than BinkD.   
      
   But I digress.  This really is a topic for another echo rather than in   
   GOLDED.
