   It means that everything they subscribe to doesn't take them away from   
   their other life. Their bossnode will have it all on hold.

   I was aware of the net202 point list back as far as 1991. I also remember   
   the same point list being distributed to everyone who was a node in that   
   net. I didn't ever process those point files, but I did read them every   
   now and then. The trend in 1995 was less and less points in that list.
