Hi Rich

Posts weren't really the focus of the BBS. It also provided
centralized (no pun intended), single account access to IRC, usenet,
mail lists and e-mail. I've always been an advocate of csa2 (when
everyone is friendly) and why I carried it on the BBS. There are also
the few people who like to telnet in with a real Apple II. I don't
like the idea of leaving them beached.

Then again, right after Sheppy let me take A2C over (I mean the timing
was awful), my employer expanded locations, without expanding the back
office or IT. The work load doubled and I started travelling a lot
more. So, I've got less time to work on the BBS and customize it.
That's been a constant source of self-inflicted frustration.

Because of time constraints, I've considered handing A2C back to
Sheppy but for now I'm going to have some people helping me with the
admin side. I've had a good story contributors (you among them) and
I'd like to mention Ken Gagne, Andy Molloy, Tony Diaz, Sheppy and Dave
Miller have been there to lend a hand with technical contributions and
content.

It's either going to bounce back, or I'll be going back to being one
of the lurkers.
