Would be nice if there was some way of storing that information on the BBS and
transferring it during initial NNTP connection. But the NNTP reader would have
to support downloading and transferring the BBS configuration and state into
the newsreader. In other words, I can see this requiring the cooperation of
all newsreader vendors, something I don't see as practical for a niche
application. Nice thought though.
