  Then to add to it, I spent all day Tuesday rebuilding message areas in
trying to get a new message network online. I think the problem was at
the hub system...but, I discovered I had duplicate deals for several
echoes, and I had to go through over 500 areas (the original purpose for
BBS's was messages), and remove those. I didn't get a chance to eat
until after I finished 3 ham radio nets at mid-evening.

  A nightmare and thirst woke me, so I got up to see if maintenance had
run...a batchfile glitch had skipped the echomail and netmail part of
it, so I had to do that again. Never a dull moment being a Sysop
(sigh!).
