Hey!
I was wondering about that quote too... as to your questions... Msg
means message (or monosodium glutimate - but only if you're in an Asian or
Oriental resteurant)... you don't have to post your name at the bottom, but
it's basically the same as writing a letter... you can leave it blank, write
your name, or write a handle (nickname)... I'm fairly new to this too, but
I've found that the more that I use the BBS's, the more I pick up from others,
and the easier it gets... it's confusing at first... it doesn't take long
to catch on... write to me sometime... and remember... if you have any problems or questions, just post a msg. and I'm sure SOMEONE will be glad to help...
take care and happy hacking!!!
