- Well, I'm from Fido first and foremost, but I enjoy most of what Internet has
- to offer (I have all but ftp access from work). I just recently added news to
- my fido-style BBS and find that many users find it enjoyable, but on to the

- other to a thrid etc, all the while each maintaining a distinct profile for
- each.
