Did you mean to make your post non-public?

No, I always select the N option after writing a message in MM so it
can be seen by everyone reading the echo, whether they want to read it
or not.

You seemed to have done it right... dunno why he thought it was private,
as I also saw your message... :)

AFAITIK* messages in BBS echos aren't Private messages, my thinking
may be wrong, a SysOp may have a 'Private Message' Setting option on
their BBS.

On a BBS, there may be an area for Private Messages, and/or the choice
to make a LOCAL message private (in a local message area)....

I think it was on Tom Currie's The Volunteer BBS on GTPower Net that I
saw a Log On message that said something like: "Messages on that BBS
Are Not Private", and since I read that I always thought everyone sees
all echo messages.
I read that in the late 1980's or early 1990's.

If a bbs has a way of making echo messages private, they are doing
something wrong... You are correct that all echo messages are to be open
to everyone... it's the whole idea behind the system... :)

I used GTPower BBS Netmail a few times and thought those might be
private messages since (I think) they came in a Netmail Echo instead
of a message echo.

Netmail is a different thing... that is intended to be one-to-one, and
usually is kept private (although the sysop still can read it,
generally).... It's a Netmail message "area", rather than an "echo"...

The first time someone sent a Netmail to me it suprised me and made my
Eye Brows raise up slightly.
I haven't sent Netmail through the BBS I use now.

I don't remember if I ever sent a Netmail... I might have, though... I
have received a few of them for various reasons... :)

I'm in the Midwest also - Indiana.
The Kroger Co. owns the Jay-C Grocery's.
Jay-C on Tuesdays have a 5 Per Cent Senior Discount.
Kroger doesn't have a Senior Discount day any more, I can't remember
how long ago it was that they ended that program.

It's nice that the subsidiary store still keeps the custom... :)

Both Stores Weekly Ads are printed with just about the same items and Price$ on every page.

Making it rather obvious that they are related stores... ;)

* AFAITIK = As Far As I Think I Know

Nice waffle phrase... :)
