Flame On

The system that you are using locally may very well be "clunky" and "unfriendly"
TBBS provides tools to allow the System Operator to establish almost any type
of organization that he/she chooses.  Actually, now that TBBS works with
Seadog, I would rate it one of the better BBS packages available under 
PC-DOS.  You can complain about a particular SYSOP's set-up, but please
be careful when making general comments.

 and, more relevant here, tools versus constructed products.  Rather than
 have this devolve into an argument about the relative merits of TBBS,
 let's try to discuss more the idea of supplying the tools for information
 organization and the uses and abuses thereof.   -- Dave]
