    oh man, this board is beautiful..totally free access. this is what 
cyberspace was supposed to be like. everyone starts out the same. everyone 
can learn.

    i dunno, but boards that have questionaires to weed out newbies aint 
real nice. how else are you gonna start? i mean, even twelve year
 old idiot crackers need to be created to keep a balance :-).

    sorry, but i remember it was terribly easy to start when everybody was 
learning at the same time. 

    in short (if nothing i have said in the previous ten lines makes any 
sense, i hope this will) this is the ideal of bbses. this is what has been 
created with arpanet, and this is one helluva lot better than the 
"begining." local boards these days dont allow anyone -new-. cyberspace 
should be accessible by all. (oh. this last bit didnt make any sense 
either. sorry. forget about this post.)
