           That's fine. More than increasing the number of BBSs into Zone 4, we   
   need more users. :)   
      
           And news clients allow us to bring on wider range of people that would   
   like to participate, but doesn't have all the energy required to access a BBS   
   system and go through all messages via a telnet client or even download a QWK   
   package. :)

           Indeed. I wasn't aware of that, only after I started to test the   
   Mystic's NNTP server I realized that.

           Nice! Will give it a try.
