I once was twitted for posting a Nuit Unlimited Imports catalog on a BBS.  
When I tried to log back on the sysop didn't even have the common courtesy to 
explain why my access had been denied.  It took me four months to log back 
on... and that's when he finally explained it was against the rules.  Go 
figure  ;)

Howdy Jon!
I blew out a power supply.  I am typing this on my friends computer.  When I 
get the puter back up in a couple of days I will visit your systme in GA.  
And maybe then I could download the file.
You know, it basically boils down to RESPONSIBILITY.  I don't envy sysops.  It 
is a scary thing... when some one logs on, they are in your house.

Oh, to be back in the days when we thought the S-100 bus was the savior of the 
computer generation. :)  I still had my Imsai up until about a year and a 
half ago, when I moved up to Oregon.  I ended up donating it to a high 
school. ;)

Well, freedom in general has a lot to do with the echo...  But, I digress. :)

        since when did topic lines have to relate to the topic
        being discussed?  <grin>
        this bit of history of bbs originally came from a user
        complaining about a sysop who wouldn't validate him
        and the sysop explaining why not.
