I sure hope not, I have enough to do scanning Alt.Magick, Alt. Satanism, 3 MagickNet confs, Thelema, Set and the minor echoes (Enochian, Thoth, I King, etc), without searching another one!

Home of Amy Fisher and Joey Bottafuoco, and the gardener who killed like 24 prostitutes. Also home to Hofstra, C. W. Post, NY Institute of Technology, Adelphi, Stony Brook, and several other fine universities; also home to the Nassau Coliseum, zillions of shopping malls, any number of totally unremarkable suburban neighborhoods, the Long Island Expressway, Jones Beach, Fire Island, several wineries, and a couple of ferries to Connecticut. (I lived there for 25 years.) KB>i almost nevr use my OLMR because it's soooo slow. but, when i do, i'll be >*sure* to steal it. thanks! Check your BBS for SLMR (Silly Little Mail Reader): I've only got 2.0, and I know there's at least a 2.1, but it isn't THAT slow, and it's easy to use. My BBS is in the same area code but outside my local calling area, and it's billed as long distance BUT I can't use a long distance company like MCI (it goes through the local Baby Bell). So calls to this board cost more than calls to another area code. Therefore, I use SLMR! (My sysop, bless his scaly tentacles, provided this for me.)
