   I don't think you're very "up to speed" on modern SBBS.  You certainly    
   don't understand much about text.dat or text.ini, that's for sure.

    MR> there is a place if you make a place.   
      
   No, there isn't.  That's not how text.dat/ini works.

   Your comments are stupid.

   I'd say you're the one who's confused about Synchronet.  The more you    
   talk about it, the more obvious that becomes.   
      
      
      
   ... Ignorance can be cured.  Stupid is forever.
