thats the kinda system id like to run.  seeing as how i cant even afford a 
new HD for my c=64 bbs, tho, forget about a multi-line free-access unix 
system from me for a while...heh.  right now, id just be happy to get 
freeport running again.

as for the obnoxious users, why dont u just let the other bbs users deal 
with them...a pea-brained user like that could easily conned by sum e-mail 
social engineering to give an offended person their phone, name, etc.  
then, its up to yer users imagination what they're gonna get...heh

yer alwys gonna run th risk that sum assholes gonna give yer # to the 
feds.  I say, the more the marrier.  you might even get them to post and 
respond!  well, i guess thats asking a bit too much, eh?  i mean, as long 
as yer not running sum warez d00d bbs, and have stuff like that in the 
file transfers, yer gonna get a LOT of support from others in the computer 
community if sum asswipe fed thinks yer bbs contains "illegal" material.  
Oh no!  they're talking bout grabbing passwd files and running them thru 
killer kracker!  bust the bbs!  Thats just BS in the lowest form.  
besides, the feds are on the run...they've realized that they cant just go 
around and close down bbss anymore.  people arent gonna stand for them 
infringing on their rights to free speech.

im not saying that all feds are assholes, but i dont know any personally 
and juging by their recent activities within the computer community, thats 
my impression.  its just a bunch of political BS.  Presidences MUST be set 
NOW before more injustice is done!  the whole Steve ackson games trial wuz 
total shit...BUT good came out of it!  im extremly glad that SJ Games 
wasnt forced into finantual ruin like craig niedorf was.  i only wish that 
i could support them, but, alas, i cant even afford a new hd...

i fully support eff, albiet they are a touch consertive, but it is a 
start.  also, with the vast amount of confrences that bring feds, hackers, 
and other interested parties togeather, i can see an understanding 
developing between the parties.  at least, a wide variety of views are 
shared amoung the attendees, (or so ive read...ive never been able to 
attend one although i would REALLY like to...)

how this post became so long, i dont know...anywayz, if anyone in or near 
the 313 area would like to pitch sum monetary support my way in exchange 
for a ride and a room to a confrence like i mentioned before, lemme know 
thru e-mail.  here or at ks3502@emunix.emich.edu.
