- Headers? Don't know, I have no experience with Blue Wave. The only QWK
- readers I've ever used are Freddie, Alice, and COUNTERPoint.

- BH> Who is your boss? How old are you? Do you help the sysop at your bbs?

- I'm 13. My boss is Jim Creighton, the SysOp, Sea/Mac BBS (Seattle, WA.)
- No, I don't help anything except I've made a big contribution to the file
- areas. He's only my boss since I point off his BBS. I know it sounds
- confusing, but you gotta learn how the FidoNet works. To point, I call
- Sea/Mac using Copernicus Call, send up replies, download messages, then it
- automatically launches ArcMail Extract and unArcs the mail he sent me,
- then it automatically launches COUNTERPoint and there I read my mail.
- That's just a piece of how the net works. I've talked with the SysOp of
- Silver Lake to see if I could point off the BBS, so he'd be my 2nd boss.
- Since this BBS is an IBM BBS and I have a Mac, I can't upload anything.
