Sorry to bother you. Geesh. The message was new to me. I could see
the time stamp on it. Messages like email are forever. You still
need to chill out.;) Happy Holidays pal. Greg,

it's new to you but not to everyone else. that conversation had already played out. update your pointer dates.

wow, ok.

Blocking your IP is a long way from blocking *ALL* IPs.

I will be happy to set you up and account if you want. If you already have an account let me know what your username here is.

email ricksbbs@yahoo.com with your desired username and your location and I will email you back a password.

I have a bot monitoring ip probes and your ip or ip range got caught up in it. When the BBS here gets hammered my bot swats back. LOL. It is truly nothing personal and I hope to see you soon if you want.

Have a great day,
