   Hi! Nicholas,   
      
   On Mon, 02 Dec 13, you wrote to me:   
      
    NB> Whahh? I think you may be the only person left running 1.07.3. Kudos   
    NB> to you for sticking with the past, or just not wanting to upgrade. I   
    NB> think we're on 1.08 alpha 38 at the moment.   
      
   Go ahead & laugh.  I am happy for you.  ;-)  I'm a cranky old man, and am   
   loving it.

   Unnecessary fluff for a BBS, though I do appreciate the intergration aspect.    
   If I wanted an intergrated, multi-function, thing on Linux then I'd shoot for   
   a MBSE setup more vigorously.  Then again, the need isn't there; no potential   
   users, you see.  All of mine are happy with either email or NNTP, alone.   
      
    NB> Unfortunately, one little quirk got in the way of using GoldEd with   
    NB> it for the time being.   
      
   Probably because GoldEd may not be the best choice for an external   
   reader/editor.  It is really intended as a sysop tool, not as a part of a BBS   
   config.  There may be (dunno) better external door doovers for use with a BBS.   
      
   Don't let me stop you though.  Have fun at it!   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
