To put an end to all this petty bickering.
(Guys, my Dad one told me, "Ian, you're as subtle as a shotgun.")

Face it.  There has been little discussion and a lot of whining about
BBS software.  If you have a piece of software that YOU use and ENJOY,
this is an excellent opprtunity to get other people interested in the
software YOU enjoy.  

I personally would like to thank all the people who were trying to
put an end to the WAR I started.

To tell the truth, I was hoping that I could use the information gathered
from a DISCUSSION in the design of a Bulletin Board System that would
address almost everyone's needs.

I and others don't want to hear what is wrong with other software but
what is right about yours.

Please use the following catagories to discuss the positive things about
a piece of software.

	Freeware.
	Shareware.
	BigBuckWare.
