Used to have one here, but sorry, don't have it any longer. I went
|
|
into Magellan to search on "bbs list msg" and found a hig:
|
|
"call Stillwaters BBS (708-403-2826)"
|
|
They have the list we used to carry.

Ward-
|
|
|
|
First of all, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Paul Chartraw,
|
|
and I have been editor of the CBBSList/Stillwaters List for the past
|
|
year and a half, and have offered it a 'home' since the beginning of
|
|
this year. I have meant to contact you since November or so, but as
|
|
you know, things always seem to get in the way of doing what you WANT
|
|
to do. I dearly hope that there is no ill will towards my usage of the
|
|
CBBS moniker, I understand you 'own' it, and granted it's use as the
|
|
filename in the Stillwaters List-era, and hope that you do not have a
|
|
problem with it's use as the NAME as well as the filename. The reason
|
|
I chose to rename the list to The CBBSList is that simply it was no
|
|
longer housed at Colby's system, and he asked me to differentiate it
|
|
somehow so that he would not continue to be overrun by the callers, and
|
|
it seemed simplest to me to keep the familiar, etc, etc.
|
|
|
|
Feel free to contact me voice at 708-748-6816 evenings after 6pm, or via
|
|
my system, The Hideaway BBS, at 708-748-1911.

PS - Ya know, if it wasn't for you, I'd NEVER have had this
|
|
much fun. ('Course, my phone bills'd be cheaper, I'd
|
|
have more time on my hands, I'd stil have most my hair.HMMMM)

Hmmm, I did furrow my brow when I saw the name "CBBS" - it IS the name
|
|
of THIS system, AND an officially registered name, at that. Other than
|
|
that we carried it as a service for a while (difficult, since we have no
|
|
file xfer and I had to mash it into some messages with an editor), there
|
|
was no tie-in to CBBS. Hmmm again.
|
|
I granted the use of its name? Hmmm, I guess like the guy who said I
|
|
promised him a million dollars yesterday, you could BOTH be right, I DO
|
|
have a bad memory, but this DOES come as a complete surprise to me.
|
|
(Then again, one day I asked Chuck Forsberg where he came up with the
|
|
idea of the name "Ymodem". He said "You suggested it". Embarassed, I went
|
|
through my old Compuserve captured messages, and found the one I SENT HIM
|
|
suggesting the name, because "YAM" was his commo program, and "Y" was one
|
|
more than "X", etc)
|
|
CBBSLIST seems as inappropriate (people might come here asking about it-
|
|
and do ask "in general" about BBS Lists) just as being the Stillwaters
|
|
BBS list they went to him and he wants it stopped.
|
|
Gee, credit where due: Call it the Hideaway Chicago Area BBS list, and
|
|
in the front of it credit Stilwaters/Colby for all the effort perhaps.
|
|
CBBS in the name just seems confusing and IS misleading.
