Thankfully, that is something most BBS software I have run over the years has
something like that.  I should add that functionality into MBSE as well as a
twit filter because ... like the old saying goes, there's an asshole in every
crowd but Fidonet seems to have more than its fair share.

Thanks for the flowers and it was a pleasure meeting you and Janice even
though how we wound up meeting wasn't exactly fun for me.  At least that
breakdown happened near Little Rock and not somewhere in eastern Oklahoma.

How appropriate.
