A board for the strange and bizarre. Tons of files for download, a
great adult files section available. Enough doors so everyone will
find one they like. Great sysop.
All of these boards are a local call from Washington, DC. If you have any
questions for me, I am a user on all of the BBS' listed above, as well as
many others in the area.
I feel that, although my list is small, it is much more useful than something
like Focke's list which doesn't bother to separate the good from the bad. If
you just want lots of numbers to go through on your own time, get Focke's list,
but if you want `only the best' boards, get JOE DINER'S LIST!!!!!!!!
Have fun... this is the official Joe Diner's BBS list released Sep. 1, 1993.
