Yes they do. If you don't like BBSes, don't call them. No one is forcing 
you to do so. The BBS sysops spend a lot of time and money to make their 
BBSes really nice. It is a lot more work than what it takes to create a 
web page. BBSes will always be around and are likely to make a comeback 
when they are rediscovered when the Net becomes overcrowded. And BBSes 
are ideal for real-time chat.

: What a joke. If you've got Internet Access, calling a BBS is like scraping
: dinner plates instead of using a dishwasher. You don't get quite as much for
: your efforts and it wastes a lot of time.

IF it wastes YOUR time then don't call them. There are just as many 
people who think the Net is a waste of time. There are lots of things 
that are a waste of time to certain people. Those certain people don't do 
those things they are not interested in. Please do what you like to do 
and stop berating others who enjoy things you don't enjoy. If we were all 
the same the world would be v-e-r-y boring.
