Dear August

From me a very last reply to this topic.

I fully agree with Jason in some points, but not all!

1. Who has the knowledge of the several BBS programs and Tools => Sysops
    Not the User who is the first time, or after a long pause (+20 years) like
    in my case, interested in this topic, again. And we are again at the point, 
    why I've tried 1st to get in touch with the Sysop's. 1st hand experience!
 
I accept the negative attitude towards this forum, but that doesn't mean 
that I won't continue it. As I wrote, it would be easier, quicker and more 
versatile and probably better in the quality if many would support it. 
(Always for the interesting User or Sysop). 

All other things were discussed and I like to close the debate from my side.
The respective sides exchanged their arguments for or against this project.
I really wanna thank everybody for his pers. opinion! That's what I've asked
for and that's what I've got!

With that in mind, have a nice day!

Mike
