Hi Ed,   
        You were saying...   
      
    EV> Howdy! ALL!,   
      
    EV> Here in the United States we observe Thanksgiving Day in November,   
    EV> so I thought I would say "THANK YOU!" to the people who Run, Read and   
    EV> Enter messages on BBS's.   
      
   Pardon the late reply on this, Ed.   
      
   You're in the treasured environment of FidoNet, where you're not spied on by   
   countless ad and marketing systems that try to know everything about you   
   -without your permission. Where you're not subject to inadvertently picking up   
   some destructive virus (at least on all POTS systems and virtually all telnet   
   systems.  Where you can read and post to your heart's content without   
   (usually) being harassed by countless twits and assorted morons. No fancy -   
   glitzy multimedia graphics - just plain old text.  Sure, you can't post a   
   picture of a problem you're having, but it's IMO, a small trade-off.   
      
   Hopefully we can keep this antiquated but effective system of BBSes up and   
   running for a LONG time to come!   
      
   Best regards, Marc.
