      Despite the flames, I've been running another BBS since the fall of the Communitree, with the same rules and standards... and the only messages I've killed so far were ones I posted pertaining to early bugs in the software, as there's more space on this public access Unix system. (Yes, it's on the very system on which I am typing this letter; tried and true, and hacker-proof -- but with shell access (and "vi" as a message editor) for qualified users.)
