HBBS (Well written, but don't ask me to call any HBBS systems) "In denouncing any Handles or System names, I am not implying anything about the characters or merits of those Handles and Systems. There are some cool people who have Stupid Handles, and there are some cool systems with Gay names." In other words, don't come looking for me if you were offended by anything you read here. I'm sure you're a nice person and all that, and an obscure t-file isn't really going to hurt your ability to get high access, run a decent board, get 750 on the verbal SAT, get girls, etc. etc. etc. Compiled 3 September 1985 By Shooting Shark
