which was music based, I believe. I suggested they not bother because we really didn't need YADN (Yet Another Dead Network). True to form, I was labeled an asshole for daring to stifle the air of out a sysop who wanted to waste his time on a dead network. Heck, we already have a dead music

Kind of depends on how you said it, but on the whole I agree it isn't needed. Tempering somebody's expectations can be a kindness. Also it's bad for the hobby as a whole to add another dead space to it. Sysops waste the effort in joining, curious people come along and see abandonment and inactivity.

Contrast that with more posts and activity in eg. a Music sub on a net that already has participants. It looks more like a place worth visiting and returning to.

I don't think I've ever had a problem with Jas Hud. MRO is
another matter. He's in the global shit list and will be
permanently. I considered only

MRO and Jas Hud are the same person.

So I was informed earlier. I had no idea, tbh, which really shows how
much I take notice of what goes on here :)

glad you guys are keeping up your info on me. continue talking!
makes my dick hard.

And you wonder why people block you? I blocked you once, but then Gamgee came along.
I decided to give you a second chance, at least you do help people sometimes.
You keep telling us what a good guy you are, then you always attack others. You're pretty thin skinned.

No way, those guys are mean over there. They almost made me quit BBSing.

Really? They all seem pretty quiet and invisible from where I am. ;)

but blues isn't in my wheelhouse.

Me neither.

I think adding more messages/value to a (new or pre-existing) musicians conference on an existing network might be better than a whole network for that one partiular subset of BBSers. Fewer networks with more (good, diverse) content is better for BBSing, I think.

Contrary to the stupid amount of networks I carry, I do think less is more in the BBS world.

Someone wanted to start a "home lab" group in FSX so that the niche market of users with a home lab can congregate. I say this is not necessary. I don't think there's a big enough audience. Someone suggested a "Modern Computing" which I'd be more for, but still think it's not necessary.

A further example, all respect to Mike for running Hobbynet, but I think the audience for staind glass and crochet is somewhat limited. A single Hobbies group in an active network would be a better option. Still I will support it while it exists.

I know how much of a jerk I was. I reflect on it sometimes and it informs the way I approach a lot of things now. I'm sure I still slip on occasion, but people change. There's no irony in that, just time and experience.
A lecture on my *past* behavior from a guy who just told me to kill myself and invoked homosexuality as an implied insult? I don't know if that's irony, but it's something.

You're absolutely right. People can (and should) change over time. We always hope it's for the better & at least in this area it sounds like you have.
If we're stagnant, we might as well just wither & die.

They are. I found it rather fun and yes, I learned much.

I got the ridiculous idea a couple years ago to start a new net called Bluesnet. The idea was to cover nusician type conversations and related subjects. Not which album you once had, but playing in public, advertising, equipment, and the like. I still have it and there are a few on there but not what I thought there would be. There aren't any musicians on bbs's (except maybe Rob). I admin a couple music related groups on Facebook with thousands of followers. That's where the musicians are. <shrug> :-)

I wish I was more of a musician than I am currently. I was a decent guitar player many years ago in high school. After high school life & family got in the way & I quit playing. Since the start of lockdowns I've been trying to pick guitar back up again & add other instruments, but family still takes lots of time (especially with a partner that Ijust started providing home medical care to). Hopefully after my youngest finishes high school this year, I'll have some time.

Now Tim Smith aka mr proper aka KK4QN is certainly someone i wish i ran
out of bbsing. and this is a guy who literally said he respected me until i > pointed out he was a drug addict ripping off other sysops for money and
hardware he would sell.

I've neve sold anything to another BBS sysop, I have charged someone shipping to ship them an external cdrom or something I GAVE them, but you know what? if I did sell someone something what business is it of yours? afaik in the US we have a free market, and as long as the government gets their share all is good. Thats your problem, you think anything that has aything to do in the realm of bbsing needs to go through you first, and thats the way you tried to treat all your sysops you "helped" along the way, as your cult followers, If you ever offered them any help if they did'nt go through you first for anything afterswards you would pitch a fit, like they owed you for life..

You have divulged peoples personal information online, you make fun of mental disabilties and addiction, you are just an all around bad person who is not really worth even speaking to, but I will no longer allow you to spread lies, or harass, Its a different world then it was back then so just go away, You keep calling some of these old sysops your friends, they really could'nt stand you either, they put up with you to keep from being harassed. You exhibit textbook symptoms of a lot of the mental issues you make fun of in your messages, I went and got help for my Addiction, it does'nt seem you have found help for your issues yet. I pray that you do. We do recover.

It's never too late if music is in your heart. Pick it up when you get a chance and get back into it. You'd be surprised what might happen. :-)
