hahaha... if you would, could you explain a little more in the post office on
waldo's? the system does have some protections in place... if your IP address
stays the same, it can be whitelisted so that the protections don't block it...

hahaha yeah! i can see that happening... expecially with the large amounts of
messages i carry in each area and the large amounts allowed for in the
packing... depending on the rest of the system and what else may be running,
there should be enough time but if something else is eating system time, it may
not be enough... i know that i had to reduce it a little while back because
some 'bright spark' has set up some form of 'online test' to see if the bbs is
available and keep their list of systems up to date... the painful thing is
that they seem to check every hour and just sit at the login prompt until the
system times them out... i've gotta see if i can find the time to contact that
spark and give them some of my mind/opinion... deity knows that someone should
use it as i don't seem to be using all that much of it these days like i used
to do years back ;) O:)
