I could never quite understand why points never seemed to catch the
imagination of message/echomail users in NA.  Maybe it was the timing of
internet access coming into town and drawing people away to that.

Myself, I had about 12 or 15 dedicated points up to about year 2004.
People loved the short-sessions and efficiency moving messages over
dialup.

But I "pushed" it and demostrated how it works.  A real-life demo helped
to sell the idea.

I lost favour in QWK for a variety of reasons.
