 We had a couple around here because we're close to Toronto, but they were all
corporate boards, with one exception, but the guy who ran that was a total
dweeb and I wouldn't ever connect to his BBS out of pure spite.

 Can't remember his name, but hated him.

 Agreed.  Which is why I like The RA and Telegard style systems.
