Who'd a thunk that in 1985 Id been using that fucked up waffle client and a unix to unix copy plus Ed Hoppers message tosser to be crosslinking usenet areas int0 fucking BBS message conferences --jamming up my own mailing lists and then cross echoing all the shit via FidoNet and TomCat to talk to the people running Wildpussy. That damn PCBoard was one solid mother fucker till they went to OS2.

You are hardcore man... I never got connected to FidoNet -- that was based on message hubs, right? I used one of the hierarchy message networks -- I think it was called iNTELLEC net or some shit like that... at a certain time of day this program on my machine would block normal incoming calls and wait for the message robot whatever to call my PC and transfer all the messages...
