Yep. I had a fido node and BBS just for grins. Eventually had
to give it up as the content was mostly junk and there were too many
leeches uploading garbage.

Supply/demand I guess. That and production costs. Takes a lot of
people to make a car but only a few parts houses to build components.

There you go again, the jealous, REALLY JEALOUS, over the fact that
I once own a '37 Lasalle, what a jealous little draft dodging senile
coward from Hialeah Navarre, Florida, who's only way to get attention is
to make a fool of it's self. With this goat obsession/fetish you have.
Like when the other kids laughed at it's attempt to use foul language in
elementary school play grounds, but just gibberish. Too senile to
remember what he last wrote. You remind me of a little rat dog, like a
Mexican Chiwawa with it's senseless barking, me too, me too. And as
usually afraid to use your name, address, or even sign your statement as
any man would.
Again you don't even have the fortitude to sign your lies, what
coward!
You're not worth any more time when a cut and paste this same
paragraph it fits so well!
But now worth the time to forward this low life to: abuse@mchsi.com
and to ***,net to nail 4ax.com (databasix.com)

No categorisation intended, Tom ! It was more of a "can we *all* please stop
this bickering" plea.
