   Wow... I never anticipated that someone would be so upset about this...   
   All the SysOps I wrote to when I was compiling information seemed to think   
   it was a good idea to have a list with more detail, including ALL active BBS   
   lists. Yes, I know that you compile the TelBBS list. Do you want credit?   
   I can add that to the next edition, no problem. The list that you compile   
   is a GREAT quick list of names and addresses of all TelBBS's. I've used it   
   quite frequently, and I'm sure many other people have. But when scouring   
   the comp.sys.cbm archives, I came across this list of dial-up BBS's, which   
   included greater detail of each BBS, listing SysOp's names, location,   
   hardware, software, etc. I just thought it'd be nice to have a list like   
   that to reference from time to time. As for your comment about posting this   
   everywhere *except* the TelBBS forum... Until a few minutes ago, I hadn't   
   posted it anywhere except here. I completed the final copy of the list last   
   night, and posted it here before I went to bed. I'm just now getting around   
   to posting links to it elsewhere. As for being upset about never being   
   added to the TelBBS list, I'm not. I just made a suggestion once about   
   being added to the list, but you made a valid point that it was a list for   
   TelBBS's, and since mine wasn't, I had no problem with that. I will be   
   bringing my BBS online as a TelBBS on the week of April 9th, however, so   
   it'd be nice to be added to your list whenever you update it next.

   Yes, I did say that, and I did sign my name (only Andrew, though, I believe)   
   to the end of my post, just like I do with all my posts. Shoot me.

   Uh, actually, it constitues 50% of the dial-up portion of the BBS list.   
      
   > I really don't know how we got along without you.   
      
   Whatever. I've somehow upset you without meaning to. Life goes on.
