The package Pro-Util (I think you jump to Royston or some such name)
has a macro facility which will automatically fill in bulletin board
timestamps to whatever time you last invoked the macro.  So you set up
a macro for each board that you frequent, and you can pick up pretty
much where you left off.  You can still get messed up if the line drops
while you're in the middle of a heap of postings, but it's a real
improvement, and I recommmend the product.  It also has a very useful
print-to-disk function and a screen-grabber which outputs to PCX files.
