Hi Maurice,

BBS_ADS For instance...

Would the MSG in question gotten a wider audience there?

Hard to tell, since I'm not connected to it ;), I can't compare seen-by's. Judgeing from messages posted in the STATS area it gets more traffic then this area though.

Also, perhaps more important, it seems that area might be a bit too
narrow in it's scope to attract many users.

But the users it attracts should be interested in it!

You seem to be connected to a very limited set of areas?

Yes indeed. I think there are far too many areas that could easily be encorporated into each other.

Probably. Yet people are still creating new areas, for the simple reason they think a particular subject should be covered in it's own area. They are not asking the questions if it maybe could be discussed in existing areas, and if it would attract enough discussion. (I'm guilty of that too ;-)).

For example I think the LINUX echoarea is enough coverage for all
things linuxie.

Indeed.

Bye, Wilfred.

Hey Wilfred!

Me neither. Anyhow it turned out to be a one-off according to the source. So much for the 100's. :-)

Life is good,
Maurice

Sean,

Why is this message in this area?

Just to piss you off. :)

LOL!!

Reminds me of a fellow ham radio operator, who was trying to run a traffic net. He had the microphone in one hand, and he was holding his infant son
in his left hand. Well, his harmonic wasn't happy that Daddy wasn't giving
him his full attention, so he proceeded to pee all down Daddy's arm.

This proves that it's better to be pissed off than pissed on. <BG>

Hey Wilfred!

Maybe, but there are more appropriate areas, where it would get
a more suitable audience...

Such as?

Speaking for myself, if it hadn't been posted in this particular echoarea in all likelihood I would have never seen it.

It has been slow! It's nice though, anything from testing, to chat and so on.

Hello, Maurice!

Did you wire your computer to an atomic clock or are you just that pedantic?

Sometimes, just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

You might want to fix your system since it's not running to standards, LOL.

I think he's testing something.

Tests of stuff are allowed here. I also use it to add new members in as a test location before opening up the rest of the echos. (others welcome to do that too at need).

Hey Carol!

They seem to be sticking to a 24 hour cycle although for the last couple of decades an hour appears to be much shorter than it used to be. There are still 24 of them to be had in a day.

How about your days?

Life is good,
Maurice

Lets see. Funding a family of 5 with 400$ a month (serious situation, federal/state aid kicking in but not fully until Feb). Been 3 months and 1 to go.

Working 2-4 VADM (Navy flag officer) tasks per week and it's NOT simple stuff done in 1 hour or less.

It's been keeping me off the BBS pretty much.

Hey Carol!

Funding a family of 5 with 400$ a month (serious situation,
federal/state aid kicking in but not fully until Feb). Been 3
months and 1 to go.

Ouch! And at Christmas time too. The same thing happened to me when my pension first kicked in but it only took a couple months to resolve. It was at Christmas time too and my hot water heater decided to pack it in. Good thing it was just me though but it still was extremely stressful.

Working 2-4 VADM (Navy flag officer) tasks per week and it's NOT
simple stuff done in 1 hour or less.

I'll take your word on it. I've never been in the Navy and at this stage of the game it is HIGHLY unlikely I ever will be.

It's been keeping me off the BBS pretty much.

Understood. If there is anything I can do to help you know where to get ahold of me. I have no plans to quit just yet and I think I have at least one year on my life lease.

Life is good,
Maurice
