You'd die in bank processing fees alone.  I mean, you could use Paypal for
that; why reinvent the wheel?  Too many new sysops don't understand that
things work the way they do for many reasons.  Like I said, every five
years or so, all of this "BBS newthink" crops up and it disappears just as
fast as it appears.

What I'd like is people to actually produce proof-of-concept instead of talk
but as usual, nothing happens...

For me, getting everything working on FreeBSD was adventure enough.
