I feel that this text file needs a before-hand explaination. This
is a run off of Real users and Real sysops. I enjoyed those text files
and I wanted to see more of them. I hope that this does not offend a
bunch of uptight sysops who actually write a constitution of rules for
their BBS. (Really, I could care less.) I mainly wrote this file
because I wanted to poke fun at sysops who thought that in order to
retain authority think they have to make rules so that you can't do
anything, but post nice little just stopping by to say hi messages. I
thought the whole idea of BBSes is to give and get files, and to keep
conversation going.
